1) What exactly is wrong with vegetarians and vegans?
- Is it the fact they remind you of something that you are trained not to think about?
- That they are doing something about their meat addiction and you aren’t?
- That being a vegetarian is still contradicting because animal products like eggs and dairy still enslave animals? True, the only way to to be completely void of inflicting harm on animals through diet is by being a vegan but that doesn’t downplay their efforts i.e. an environmentalist trying to save the world is still causing pollution but that does not negate their efforts.
2) Why would feeding vegetarians and vegans a steak make you feel better?
- Is it too weird and abnormal to go against the status quo for something you believe in?
3) Are you against whaling, seal clubbing, the ivory trade, the rhino horn trade, tiger wine, fur, hunting, the dolphin cove slaughter, bear bile farms?
- If you ARE then your logic proposes the following: An animal is only of significance when it is of value to somebody or some culture. Animals that are of value (e.g. cats, dogs, elephants, dolphins, whales etc) are entitled to compassion and humanity and the rest can be denied it. In which case the former examples should not give rise to any moral conflict because those countries simply do not attach any value to those animals, a part from economical value. It is simply a matter of cultural difference.
- Otherwise, how do you reason your opinions? Operative word being just that.
Conclusion:
When you defend your right to wear fur and leather, that is VANITY. When your palette defines your moral choices, that is GLUTTONY. When you express your divine right to dominion over other species, that is PRIDE. And when you get defensive when people remind you of the fact that your daily choices force billions upon billions of animals into enslavement, immense pain, a life void of any compassion and merciless slaughter, that is MORAL COWARDICE.(Source: liberateanimals)

There’s nothing to mourn about death any more than there is to mourn about the growing of a flower. What is terrible is not death but the lives people live or don’t live up until their death. They don’t honor their own lives, they piss on their lives. They shit them away. Dumb fuckers. They concentrate too much on fucking, movies, money, family, fucking. Their minds are full of cotton. They swallow God without thinking, they swallow country without thinking. Soon they forget how to think, they let others think for them. Their brains are stuffed with cotton. They look ugly, they talk ugly, they walk ugly. Play them the great music of the centuries and they can’t hear it. Most people’s deaths are a sham. There’s nothing left to die.Charles Bukowski
