2015:
Animals, especially when
they’re around humans, certainly need their rights to be legislated. The story
of domesticated animals is all about loss of dignity and loss of life. We
should atone, or at least leave them alone. But, as it happens we’ve done so
much damage to them over the generations that we can’t simply let them go. Now
we also need to protect them. Domesticated animals wouldn’t be able to survive
on their own. Importantly we owe them ‘safe passage’, to live out their lives
in a sanctuary or refuge, to be retired in other words. At the very least they
are entitled to an unmolested rest-of-their-life.
Since we know that neither
animal’s muscle tissue or animal’s by products are essential for a healthy
life, there are no arguments left to support non-vegan living. We owe them some
of our bounty which has been taken from them while they were bound to us in
slavery.
