Veganism: the ethical way forward

[ruby27]

Veganism acknowledges the intrinsic legitimacy of all life. It rejects any hierarchy of acceptable suffering among sentient creatures. It is no more acceptable to torment or kill creatures with "primitive nervous systems" than those with "highly developed nervous systems." The value of life to its possessor is the same, whether it be the life of a clam, a crayfish, a carp, a cow, a chicken, or a child.

A way moral code I aspire to, achieve at times but at other times slip into vegetarianism.
Aspiration or loonyism?

I would become a vegan tommorow, but dont really fancy my teeth and hair falling out. If there was a higher predator on the food chain other than man, you can garuantee we would be on the menu.

+ meat eating has many issues which goes beyond animal cruelty it causes various illnesses + lots of people dont relise that the meat industry contributes to world hunger. 3rd world countries sell grains to pay debts which are used to feed livestock and as a result dont have enough to feed themselves. If the land used for animal farming was used for crops there would be enough to feed the world 10 times over.
