“I eat meat because meat tastes like murder, and murder tastes pretty dam good!”

“Meat IS murder – but eating vegetables IS slow torture”

“Meat isn't murder, it's delicious.”

“Are you a murderer?""That depends, are you one of those animal activist[s] that believe meat is murder?”

“Most of us believe that eating meat is natural because humans have hunted and consumed animals for millennia. And it is true that we have been eating meat as part of an omnivorous diet for at least two million years (though for the majority of this time our diet was still primarily vegetarian). But to be fair, we must acknowledge that infanticide, murder, rape, and cannibalism are at least as old as meat eating, and are therefore arguably as 'natural'--and yet we don't invoke the history of these acts as justification for them. As with other acts of violence, when it comes to eating meat, we must differentiate between natural and justifiable.”

“I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men.”
