Myth # 67 : " But we made domestic breeds in the 1 st place ."
Do you actually believe that purposefully breeding an animal makes it a slave to its breeder as soon as it is born ? Do you actually believe that the many years of forced enslavement and manipulated breeding of animals means that the present-day offspring of those arrogant misdeeds are rightfully subject to imprisonment , pain , suffering and murder ? … Fair enough – but if this patently immoral “ rule of law ” applies to your cows and your pigs and your sheep and your chickens , then it must equally apply to your dogs and your cats and your horses and your hamsters – and even to your own children .
Of course , it is now hopefully quite clear how absurd this contention is . Our ancestors " creating " modern-day cows and pigs and sheep and chickens centuries ago via selective breeding did not give them the right to torture or abuse or murder those animals then – and it most certainly does not give us the right to imprison , abuse and murder the currently living members of those species today .
Current status of this Myth : Redacted Justification it provides for eating animals : NONE
