“Intellectually, human beings and animals may be different, but it’s pretty obvious that animals have a rich emotional life and that they feel joy and pain.  It’s easy to forget the connection between a bacon and the pig it came from.  But I forced myself to acknowledge the fact that every time I ate bacon or sausage or pork chops, an innocent pig had been violently killed for me and had ceased to breathe.” ~ via Moby
