It is ethical to eat animals, since they recognize that their bodies are food for others. But not all animals. Certainly dogs are dismayed by the barbaric practice of eating them.

God, only renounced animal eating prior to the flood, afterward, when the Eluid and Nephilim fell, God made it no sin for men to eat meat. Understand, that when I eat meat, and so too, do many societies have to, like the Eskimos to survive, I do it with the neat of intentions. None of them are abused and they have a good life; all enviormentally friendly. I see a lot pg Vegans talk about how great they are but don't realize half the crap they eat is not organic and sprayed with pesticides and industrialozed coe fertilizer that is more concern to the environment than small local organic ranging and farming.

Moral relativity is a sham. There is only one objective truth and subjective love. Solzhenitsyn was right to attack relativity.

This is what vegans and vegetarians sponsor through their "EAT PLANTS! SAVE LIVES!" delusion:

And this is the organic version. The chemical warfare one is much uglier, if a lot less visible.

I eat organic carnivore. It's the only diet I can live off of, for all its great financial cost. It's also the only diet known to not cause the diseases of civilization.

So it's not ethical to eat all animals, but is ethical to eat some? I can understand that, but I think there should still be a line drawn. It can even be a curvy line, giving some wiggle room here and there. I should mention that I do eat meat. I help raise cattle and chickens. My heart simply isn't positive that it's ethical to eat animals just because animals eat each other, or because they are obviously not as intelligent as us. However, I know cows who have more emotional depth than half the kids I grew up with, and chickens who are better problem solvers too.

Yes, that emotional depth is what makes them very appreciative of being given the small and easy pleasures of pasture among their peers before the slaughter, which they understand and accept. They are even thankful for it, since it is, at least in the correct places, the gentler exit door from life. Being torn apart by tigers is a lot less fun than a bullet in the head, or its equivalent.

However, they do resent thoroughly factory farming. They find it infinitely insulting, given their willingness to serve as food to begin with.

I love your language towards these animals. I find it to be really refreshing.

Thank you. It is but the unadorned truth, too.
