..."What do they know - all these scholars, all these philosophers, all the leaders of the world - about such as you? They have convinced themselves that man, the worst transgressor of all the species, is the crown of creation. All other creatures were created merely to provide him with food, pelts, to be tormented, exterminated. In relation to them, all people are Nazis; for the animals it is an eternal Treblinka." - "The Letter Writer" from The Seance and Other Stories by Isaac Singer
Try to balance "It's tasty! I like it! More bacon!" with the suffering found in the video linked in the article below. If, that is, one can bear to watch it. And as upsetting as those eleven minutes are, it's worth remembering similar torture is happening every second of every day around the world. The sins of the preachy vegan seem insignificant compared to the sins of carnivores without whom this neverending horror could not exist.
