Excuses to Continue Hedonistic Behaviour

So what do you call it?

Passed away,  put to sleep,   put away

You can call it all the euphemisms that you want but obviously this is an attempt
on your mind to soften the fact that you are an accomplice to the murder of a being that wanted to live up until the time
that you so selfishly felt like having it for dinner.  
with this logic,  if someone kills your beloved pet for food,  then there should be
no consequence right?  it's not murder.  

oh that's right, you only humans are deserving of love.

 Animals have one life,  you have a million excuses.  Meat is delicious?
That is your opinion.
It smells like rotting flesh to me.  

Close your eyes and imagine that you are that cow as its throat is about to be slashed
maybe a hair of compassion will grow on your body.  

In some countries,  men do not go to jail for
killing their wives,  because they are property or inferior.  It is not murder.

Must be nice to be the superior human,   unless it is you that is about to be someones supper,
have you ever noticed that when an animal kills a human, there is outrage,  alarm,  fear,  and revenge by our society.
I am talking about Bears,  Alligators, Elephants et cetera.  

Then,  the animal who ironically was  just defending himself/herself has to be killed,  or shall i say put away.
Now isn't that a double standard?  When we eat them it is just a meal,   when they eat us,  it is the end of the world.

I bet you are earth friendly though.  
Are the animals that you eat, "free range"   up until you eat them?
is the slaughter house solar paneled?  
are the bullets used to kill  animals, made from earth friendly recyclable materials?

Your attempt at making humans the superior ones,  in order to justify your actions is called speciesim,
The believe that humans are the big shit of the earth.  

If we are so intelligent,   then why is it we are destroying the very earth that we depend on?  Not very smart is it?  
We are too busy fighting over petroleum and land when our earth is melting right before our eyes.

I have never eaten an animal,  because of me,  94 animals got to live this year.  
My pillow is very comfortable at night.  Is yours?

Water required to produce:

500g of lettuce             96 litres
500g of tomatoes         96 litres
500g of potatoes        100 litres
500g of wheat            105 litres
500g of carrots          137 litres
500g of apples           204 litres
500g of chicken      3,400 litres
500g of pork           6,790 litres
500g of beef          21,700 litres

Truly man is the king of beasts, for his brutality exceeds theirs. We live by the death of others: we are burial places! I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look on the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men.
