No, in its blind, rigid adherence to dogma. You have your rules about
what can and can't be eaten, and then your phony claims that you're
saving animals simply by not eating them. That's completely false. You
only don't eat cattle, pigs, chickens, etc. You still contribute to many
animal deaths and injuries from the agricultural practices required to
grow your grains, legumes, and produce.
