Can We Really Believe That We Are

Ethics Seems A Morass Which We Have To Cross, But Get Hopelessly Bogged In When We Make The Attempt.

All The Arguments To Prove Man's Superiority Cannot Shatter This Hard Fact: In Suffering, The Animals Are Our Equals.

We Are Not Especially 'interested In' Animals. Neither Of Us Had Ever Been Inordinately Fond Of Dogs, Cats, Or Horses In The Way That Many People Are. We Didn't 'love' Animals.

The New Freedom Of Expression Brought By The Internet Goes Far Beyond Politics. People Relate To Each Other In New Ways, Posing Questions About How We Should Respond To People When All That We Know About Them Is What We Have Learned Through A Medium That Permits All Kinds Of Anonymity And Deception.

So, Basically, My View Is I Don't Want To Support The Exploitation Of Animals, And Within Reason, I Will Do What I Can To Avoid It, But It's Not Like It's A Religion For Me. It's Not Like I Consider I'm Polluted If Somehow Some Bit Of Milk Or Cheese Or Something Passes My Lips.
