My Friends , while it is true that there are more than a few complicated ethical conundrums in life , refusing to exploit the vulnerable is certainly not one of them . Indeed , determining Right Action really isn ' t that complicated in this case , especially considering the following very simple Truths :
* Truth : Farmed animals are self aware & emotionally adept ; * Truth : Farmed animals suffer when they are confined , abused &/ or murdered ; * Truth : Humans do not need to eat animal products to live long & healthy lives ; * Truth : Thus , it is completely unnecessary to inflict suffering on farmed animals ; * Truth : And as such , it is patently unethical to do so .
In conclusion then , every single non-sociopathic human being has a functioning sense of right & wrong – their conscience ; a quiet-yet-persistent voice of reason & compassion & justice within . Those of you who listen to your consciences know , as surely as I do , that enslaving and exploiting and killing anyone – whether the victim be human or non-human – is completely unnecessary & abjectly cruel … And you also know that such cruelty is therefore immoral and wrong .
You all have such a conscience within you , my Friends … Please listen to it closely ; … and please heed its Call .
Thank you .
Current status of this Myth : Exonerated Justification it provides for eating animals : NONE
“ We can talk about how we know that racism , homophobia , rape and child molestation are morally wrong and most people will avidly agree , and yet the moment someone says that animal enslavement and abuse is morally wrong quite a few people are quick to play the moral relativism card … I don ’ t buy it .” ~ John Tallent
