Bollocks have I. Show me where.
And yes, of course it fucking matters that it was 6 years ago. I ate meat 6 years ago too. But I wised up on both counts, ob-fucking-viously.
Eating meat is worse than doing drugs. You don't directly kill someone by doing drugs, you only damage yourself. Yes, you can argue that drug money, crime, shootings, gangs, BLAH BLAH BLAH, but the fact remains that a life did not HAVE to be taken in order for someone to do drugs. A life HAS to be taken when you eat meat. Fact.
I'm not on my high horse, either. I'm on my high cow. Perhaps you'd be happier if it was dead and on your plate.
To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being. I should be unwilling to take the life of a lamb for the sake of the human body.
~ Mahatma Gandhi
It's hurting the animals, Wood. We have a duty as intelligent, compassionate beings, to protect them the same way we would protect a child.
There's no difference. Did you know the average pig has the intelligence of a 3 year old human child? Would you kill a 3 year old human child and eat it?
