So tell me why I hate veggies so much.
It's not like I think it's cool to do so.
I think hating anyone or group is pretty effing uncool, as a matter of fact.
But veggies just fill me with a deep and intense loathing.
I suppose at some level, veg'ism says 'I'm too good to eat THAT' - inferring
by the converse, that carnivores are somehow inferior.
And 'I care about animals' - inferring by the converse, that carnivores
don't.
Neither obviously, is true.
I suppose it strikes me as some kind of bizarre symptom of a mental illness
that people get hung up about a cow/pig/sheep being humanely euthanased.
Animals eat animals, why shouldn't we ?
After all, are we not animals too ?
Is the moral motivation for veg'ism a kind of anthropomorphisation ?
Do veggies see farm animals as somehow human ?
If so, how ?
I can understand seeing a family pet as a member of the family .... even as
an honorary human, but FARM animals ?
I'm sorry, but that's just ph*cked up.
