Myth # 01 : " But animals are made of meat ."
Myth # 01 : " But animals are made of meat ."
" Meat " is a merely a convenient label we humans have placed upon the rendered flesh of a dead animal . As such , while it is true that pigs and cows and chickens and turkeys are indeed " made of meat ", so are the bodies of our dogs , and our cats , and our horses , and our hamsters – and our fellow humans .
In essence , just because we might have an understandable natural bias towards our own species does not make it acceptable to abuse species “ other ” … and just because other animals are indeed potential sources of food does not make it acceptable for us to confine them , abuse them or kill them .
Current status of this Myth : Invalidated Justification it provides for eating animals : NONE
