Why is it wrong to eat meat?
Regardless of what we think about the more controversial aspects of animal rights, such as medical experimentation, there is a general consensus in our society that it is
ethically reprehensible to set a cat on fire for entertainment. However, since
we do not need to eat meat to survive , when we choose to eat meat, we are choosing to
inflict death and suffering on others simply for the pleasure of tasting meat. Considering what goes on in factory farms and slaughterhouses, setting a cat on fire is, by comparison, actually relatively humane. In both cases, all that we gain in return is
just a few moments of trivial pleasure.
