Of course, they can use the word “ethical” in their name when they lie in order to facilitate the killing of thousands of animals from shelters ( by lying that they are ‘rescuing’ them) and throwing them in dumpsters.
Then again, I’m biased, because I work with a REAL shelter rescue.
Because heart disease begins in childhood.
Oops, too late.
Because a vegan diet reverses heart disease.
Sorry, but I like cheese way too much. Heck, I’m lactose intolerant and still refused to entirely give up cheese... so THAT is now gonna convince me.
Because eating meat and dairy products makes you fat.
I’ve got a BMI that’s probably around... dunno, 14? Fat is good here...
Because you shouldn’t have to lie to your kids about the food you eat.
WTF?
Because in every package of chicken, there’s a little poop.
Ummm... I don’t see any poop, and I don’t taste any poop, so I don’t care.
Because meat is filthy and bloody.
I don’t see any filth...
Because it isn’t fair.
Whatever...
Because no living creature wants to see her family slaughtered.
Fine. Have the family slaughter out of sight of the mama living creature. Problem solved.
Because eating meat and dairy products causes impotence.
Yeah, whatever, I’m not male.
Because you wouldn’t eat your dog.
Yes, because this isn’t China.
Because mad cow disease is in the U.S.
Oooh, now I can’t eat cow brains! The horrors!
Because it’s violence that you can stop.
I’m not killing the animal, and if I walked into a slaughterhouse and tried to get them to stop I’d get arrested. Or faint.
Because no one should have to kill for a living.
Some people want to... is it PETA’s right to take that dream away from them?
Because it takes a small person to beat a defenseless animal.
What are they smoking.
Because no animal deserves to die for your taste buds.
No. they die so I don’t die from anemia or something.
Because the grain used to feed animals could be used to feed hungry people. We’d just eat more grain if we were eating less meat...
Because more than half of all water used in the U.S. is used to raise animals for food.
Yep, and then it goes back into the water cycle. Yay!
Because you can’t eat meat and call yourself an environmentalist.
I don’t call myself an environmentalist, not a problem.
Because they’re defenseless.
Pfft. I still have scars from where a horse chewed up my hand (on accident, I was feeding it and something happened)
Because no matter how you slice it, it’s still flesh.
Yep. But yummy flesh...
Because commerce is no excuse for murder.
WHAT was your criminal justice prof/lawyer/civics teacher smoking?
Because eating fish doesn’t make you a vegetarian.
Duh. How does this matter to me?
Because even prisons aren’t this crowded.
Well, I guess if more people committed crimes that could solve that problem...
Because everyone wants to be free.
No, some people are IN to the whole bondage thing, ya know...
Because you know this is wrong.
Yep. Your list of reasons is wrong. Congrats on figuring that out on your own.
“Because no one should have to kill for a living.”
Wait a minute!!! Plants are living organisms!!!! But I guess it’s OK to kill a plant to eat, but not an animal.
