In regards to eating meat

[Diana]

When we wash our hands, or our bodies, or our kitchens, or anything else, we know full well that we are killing microbes. Also, I don't see any advocates for "cancer cells' rights". Don't cancer cells have a right to live too?

Cancer cells grow as a result of a body being out of balance. They are always in the body, and proliferate when the body is out of balance. This can be compared to humans throwing the ecosystem out of balance, and we have a diseased planet.

Please see my post #1425 regarding the killing of microbes, where I point out that INTENTION matters. Also, as species living in a world with much larger organisms, microbes have evolved along different lines than animals or plants because of their size. It would not seem logical that a microbe would be individuated, as so many are killed constantly just by normal and natural means.
