Christianity Is Our Foe. If Animal Rights Is To Succeed, We Must Destroy The Judeo-christian Religious Tradition.

We Don't Usually Think Of What We Eat As A Matter Of Ethics. Stealing, Lying, Hurting People - These Acts Are Obviously Relevant To Our Moral Character. In Ancient Greece And Rome, Ethical Choices About Food Were Considered At Least As Significant As Ethical Choices About Sex.

Suppose I Grant That Pigs And Dogs Are Self-aware To Some Degree, And Do Have Thoughts About Things In The Future. That Would Provide Some Reason For Thinking It Intrinsically Wrong To Kill Them - Not Absolutely Wrong, But Perhaps Quite A Serious Wrong. Still, There Are Other Animals - Chickens Maybe, Or Fish - Who Can Feel Pain But Don't Have Any Self-awareness Or Capacity For Thinking About The Future. For Those Animals, You Haven't Given Me Any Reason Why Painless Killing Would Be Wrong, If Other Animals Take Their Place And Lead An Equally Good Life.

By Ceasing To Rear And Kill Animals For Food, We Can Make So Much Extra Food Available For Humans That, Properly Distributed, It Would Eliminate Starvation And Malnutrition From This Planet. Animal Liberation Is Human Liberation Too.
