That Thou Shouldst Do No Harm - Make Nothing Suffer

Animal Rights. More than just whether or not it's OK to eat meat. Read this article from the New York Times Magazine on November 10, 2002, and think on how we fit this into states of denial. What is it we need to deny? How do we go about doing that? Is it wrong? Is what wrong? These are the issues we really will face in the next few years.

For me, just so it's clear, profit made through suffering is criminal. Not just the killing of animals as humanely as possible. But the grotesque greediness of profit that would allow those animal no space, no air, no life. READ THIS. These are HUMANS engaged in these activities. US HUMANS! And I AM ASHAMED. Therefore, I will no longer be silent. I will remind us all that so long as the eating of meat means untold and unnecessary suffering to other living creatures, it is one of the crimes of late capitalism.
