Living things that feel pain (i.e., being eaten) actually evolved to avoid it, whereas living things that don’t have nervous systems evolved to be eaten so that they could spread their seed farther when the living thing with a nervous system craps it out.

The key is balance? Everything in moderation?

So does that mean that rape in moderation is okay? Is torture and cruelty in moderation okay? By your logic, it would seem so.

Do you shout at your neighbors that they are murderers for decapitating the grass as they mow their lawn? Do you cry when the apple is plucked from the tree because you think that it’s going to miss its ‘mother’? If so, then you should stop eating EVERYTHING – both meat and plants. Did you know that the animals you eat are HERBIVORES and eat large quantities of plants??? It takes a lot of plants to grow an animal big enough to slaughter. It’s not efficient at all. We vegans know that we can’t achieve absolute purity, but we do what we can – and we do a hell of a lot more for both animals AND plants than you do as someone who eats both.
