Dear Editor, The Earth's population now stands at 7 billion and continues to grow. The demand for meat products is increasing day by day and companies must respond to consumer demand and to do so, they forget the morality of industrial animal farming. However, some people around the world become vegetarian, some do it to improve their health and some do it for their religion. After reading the article “Animal, Plant, Wretched” by Professor Gary Steiner, I came to agree with many of his well-advanced arguments against meat eating, such as: animal cruelty, animal receiving hormones and antibiotics or animals not leading a good quality life. . In his essay, he constantly repeats Thanksgiving and the turkey who did not live life to the fullest. In Mr. Steiner's article he says that people all over the world always have excuses for why they eat meat and make them believe their lie. constantly explaining the reasons to them. So they ignore the torture and pain that animals endure just for the pleasure of a meal. They forget all about the difficult life the animals had to live while they eat their hamburger at McDonalds. They give themselves two excuses, namely that animals do not feel pain and that God created animals for our consumption according to Mr. Steiner. Regarding animals not feeling pain, I believe the evidence he provides is sufficient and with which I completely agree. If the animal is constantly kept in a cage, how will it think it has a future when its present is pathetic? For the religious excuse, I believe this may be true from a Christian perspective but in other religions this is not the case. Religion plays a big role in the vegetarian population. Places like India have the highest rates of vegetarianism and middle of paper...it's funny. Since humans aren't people who eat their own, that's why I find the joke very funny. She also jokes about people eating free-range meat, saying, "We want him to have the best life possible before we slaughter him." The humor is that when this is said it seems quite odd and strange because when we think of free range meat we imagine a positive life for the animal and the irony is in the joke. In conclusion, Mr. Steiner had many strong arguments for vegans and how to be a true vegan, although I think he has some flaws in his argument, but overall I really appreciate his arguments and I changed my perspective on veganism. I expanded on his ideas about the justifiable excuses people give for eating meat, products made from animals should be stopped, government regulations on animal cruelty laws, and the cartoon that M . Steiner had in his article..
