Just for example, how many more times is a cow worth than an
earthworm?
Would killing one cow be worse than killing a hundred earthworms? A
thousand earthworms?


Cattle eating grass rarely if ever cause anywhere near
as much suffering and death. ·http://tinyurl.com/q7whm


The meat industry provides life for the animals that it
slaughters, and the animals live and die as a result of it
as animals do in other habitats. They also depend on it for
their lives as animals do in other habitats. If people consume
animal products from animals they think are raised in decent
ways, they will be promoting life for more such animals in the
future. People who want to contribute to decent lives for
livestock with their lifestyle must do it by being conscientious
consumers of animal products, because they can not do it by
being vegan. ·
