Came across this article on the bbc. I wouldn't eat whale or dog meat, or horse meat for that matter. yet, i love kung pao frog legs, shark's fin and turtle soup!!!
i recently thought about turning vegan, not eating animal products at all.. cos i can't bear the poor conditions the animals must live with on the farms, how they suffer and are slaughtered/ killed/ butchered without dignity. i was eventually dissuaded by hao-e, cos well for one, i love dairy products, milk, cheese and yogurt. think i'll have massive withdrawal symptoms if dairy products are banned from my fridge. and hao-e vehemently pointed out "who says vegetables have no feelings, and are not suffering when they are harvested?" maybe they do. i profess perhaps i have less sympathy for the vegetables cos they don't tear or bleed or whine.
anyway, i suppose we are all part of the food cycle and can't help killing other animals/plants for food and survival. all i can do is not waste food then!
