3 Easy Questions … 3 Easy Answers

Question #1: Is it acceptable to physically abuse an innocent dog or cat?
Question #2: Is there a significant difference between a dog, a cat, a pig, a cow or a chicken in their respective abilities to feel pain, fear death and suffer cruelty?
Question #3: Is it acceptable to confine, abuse & murder pigs, cows & chickens merely because we personally like the way their flesh tastes when cooked?

(Hint: Seeing as how “moral consistency” — the opposite of hypocrisy — is the theme of this post, I have made sure that the ethical responses to all three of these queries are exactly the same … So if you can answer one of them correctly, you already know the answer to the other two.)

“The ethical vegan believes that if we are to be true emancipators of the innocent then we must renounce absolutely our traditional and conceited attitude that we have the right to use them to serve our personal needs. As there are always feasible alternatives available to us, we simply must satisfy those needs via said cruelty-free means. Indeed, if this ideal of non-exploitation were to be adopted, it would be the greatest peaceful revolution the world has ever known; abolishing vast industries soaked in suffering and injustice, and establishing new ones in the far better interests of men and animals alike.” ~ inspired by Donald Watson
