RE: Open letter to my vegan friends

in #stemng7 years ago

animals and human have the same mental consciousness and the capacity to feel pains; as such, killing animals is interpreted as murder in your quarters.

This is got my attention
Actually, i also used to think on whether animals go through similar pains like humans when slaughtered.

If we define murder as intentionally taking life unlawfully, and animals and human belong to the same kingdom, it will still be termed murder in the kingdom animalia...

However, animals will not also be spared by intentionally taking plants' life, all for the sake of food...

Then, we are all murderes.

Wonderful write up
Kudos on your effort

Me too. It is almost inspiring me to be a vegetarian

Hehe, not in this country my dear

If vegetarians are calling we meat eaters murder, then we are all murders. However, that is not the case because the action of feeding is for survival. A form of natural selection process and that is why we humans stay atop the food web
