[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So here's a question: why is a chicken so much more valuable than a tree?  Trees communicate with pheromones and try to avoid harmful stimuli.  That stalk of wheat you ate was home to countless small critters that are now dead or homeless.  Because one creature looks more like you than another, because it will look into your eyes and give you a warm fuzzy feeling, that creature is more valuable and you won't eat it but it's okay to eat creatures that are less like you?  My friends who admit this and are vegetarians because they don't want to eat "pet-like" animals because it's personally disturbing to them are much different than those people who mistakenly believe and won't shut up about the fact that  they are doing something useful for the earth.

This is indeed a circle of life dilemma. We are all part of our habitats, going by this logic we should all live in mud huts, eat bare minimum to sustain life. As you say, why is it ok to destroy trees and plants to build your house, to raise your crops, to have your farm, to eat them? But, it is not ok to kill that animal? How do we define sentient life? After all, it is us, humans who define it. But, are we right, or just stupid? If there are too many deer, habitats of trees and plants will be destroyed, correct? Leaving these same vegans without food source. I would think we all are ready to be morally superior and ethical....to a point that suits us. Because animals have brains, right? Because they are a life form closest to us? Right? I think the point where we cross the line is horrendous livestock farms that are appalling. That is where I see we are cruel and in the wrong. I think we can all agree with this? We should go back to more sustainable farming, but as of today humans are destroyers of everything that is not in service to them, we can just pretend to be morally superior when it suits us. You won't find me living in a forest and sleeping under the skies, just as you won't find any DMV vegans living in nature.[/quote]
