Strange, isn't it, that when people say that it's okay to hurt an animal because it is not a person...they are using the same argument made by pro-choice folks in reference to the fetus...

But an unborn human is a human. As Mother Theresa asked, "If it is not a human life, what kind of life is it?"

There is no equivalence between aborting a human and eating meat.

People are made of meat too...and I believe there are alot of cannibals still around....are you doing anything about it?

I am not talking about intrinsic worth. I am saying only that animals are sentient beings, who have the capacity to experience pain and to suffer. It's no coincidence that animals try to avoid pain whenever possible.

Who has the higher capacity for suffering: an adult raccoon, or a 3 week old fetus? I say the raccoon. But that does not necessarily mean that it's okay to kill the fetus. One can care about them both.
