A) Haven't you been in the fields and heard the veggies screaming,
"One more day, why can't you give me just one more day, PLEASE!!!!"
while they're being harvested?

B) We're meat, animals are meat, we have teeth designed to deal
with meat.

The question is simply whether that animal's life is worth more
to it or to me. The last time I shot a squirrel I first asked it
whether its life was worth more to itself or to me. The answer
sounded an awful lot like a squeaky "ewe" so I shot it. It was
a tasty lunch.

Armchair philosophy will never, under any circumstances, come
between my fork and my mouth.
