Is It Ethical To Eat Meat?

I have asked myself this question many times. I think it is probably not ethical to eat meat. This is why I have been mostly vegetarian last few years. But some friends keep telling me that plants can also feel fear of some sort, so I'm no longer sure... Maybe it is not possible to go through life without inflicting harm on something???

:(

Sort:  

All we can do is minimize the pain. Shooting a cow in the head after a decent life is much better than they get in the wild. After that it's just food. Better food than soy loaf or processed grains.

But that doesn't mean we should try to avoid inflicting unnecessary harm.

Maybe it is not possible to go through life without inflicting harm on something???

That's the gist of it. Though I'd say it encourages one to appreciate the sacrifices a little bit more.

But the leather from dead animals can be reused for nice bags ;-)
