In regards to eating meat

[BrownEye]

If I see an animal crying out in fear and pain, I cannot fathom being hardened to its suffering.

I used to do wildlife rehab. The animals I raised from a baby were my children. It was always a good feeling to open the door to their freedom, while keeping that door open for them to nest until they built a nest in the wild.

Why would we not do the same for those 'below' us?

Well said.
