Grrrrrrrrr my blood is boiling as I read this article on why even ‘humane’ meat is not humane because we’re killing animals unnecessarily, blah blah blah. Needless to say this woman is a director for PETA.
You can raise animals in better conditions, remove the drugs from their food and slap organic or free-range labels on their carcasses, but in the end, if you are eating meat, you’re paying someone to kill animals – unnecessarily.
It’s not unnecessary. It’s necessary to feed people! Think how over-run this planet would be if animals were allowed to ‘roam free’ like PETA wants. Now, look at another ‘excuse’ to go vegetarian:
A vegetarian diet is less expensive than a meat-based one – nutritious and delicious fruit, vegetables, nuts, grains, faux “meat” and other staple choices of the world’s vegetarians can be cheap to buy – and it’s also the kindest choice for our environment and for animals.
Bollocks! Have a look next time you’re in the store at some of the prices on the Quorn, Linda McCartney and other veggie meals and ‘faux’ meat selections. They are by no means cheap. And I doubt that most of them contain that many vegetables, just stuff to make it taste good that isn’t meat. And as for fruit and veg being cheap: again, bollocks! I was just in the store the other day and saw white and red grapes for £3.98 a pack! Four pounds for a pack of grapes?! I don’t think so.
Oh, I hate veggie fascists. I will never stop, but then again they won’t stop hating me for being a meat-eater so it’s a vicious cycle. But as long as annoying veggie-fascists like this woman and the organisation she works for are writing articles like this, I’ll keep responding with blog posts like this. I’ve even added the category Vegetarians to this blog so I can file posts accordingly.
Hear hear!
