They *do* die, and you're doing nothing to prevent it. You just keep trying to cling to the fiction that because you're not the hands-on killer, you don't have any moral responsibility for the deaths. That position is false - you *do* have moral responsibility. > I live on a farm and since my father's stroke > about two years ago my sister and her husband keep a relatively > small part of it going without killing animals Bullshit. They kill animals. > to produce vegetables and fruits all year round. *NOT* enough for all of you to live on year round. It isn't even the majority of what you eat. Your moral pedestal is destroyed. You don't cause zero deaths, you don't cause the lowest possible number of deaths, and you don't cause fewer than *all* omnivores. You have nothing left. |

Goo, I have been asking for several years for photographic proof of the collateral deaths that you allege. When can I expect you to supply it? |
