In the transcribed videos below, I demonstrate the reasoning and ethics
behind the "animal rights" movement.
In the culture in which I was raised (the Midwestern United States of America) animal abuse
has been the norm. Recreational hunting is rampant in my home state and is perpetrated even by
college educated professionals. And torturing fish is considered a pleasant and peaceful pastime!
Here, women think it is a mark of elegance to drape themselves in the skins and furs
of animals who were cruelly clubbed to death or electrocuted or caught in barbaric leg-hold
traps.
But the vast majority of animal and environmental abuse comes from the practice of
meat eating.
There is no excuse for us to eat meat when nutritional alternatives are available.
Eating meat is bad for your health, bad for the environment, bad for global hunger,
and of course bad for the animals who are killed
(often after spending their shortened lives in cramped, horrible conditions.)
If you claim to be an ethical person and you live in an area where non-animal food
products are available, then you have no excuse for not being a vegetarian. If you
take exception (or offense) at that statement, please carefully consider these
transcribed videos. Then, if you still disagree, please let me know why.
