I just want devouring to love me. It's taken me much thought, but I'm going to turn myself into a plant. Preferably a cactus. But for reasons undisclosed.
First, vegetables aren't risk free either. Unless you eat everything bio, all the chemicals they use to grow you vegetables can be factors to cancer. Second, some vegetables like lettuce have a chemicals that cause extreme drowsiness if consummed too much. Other vegetables like beets and celery have a lot of sodium that could bring problems like high blood pressure. Third, I hope you're not what one of those hypocrites that is against animal slaughter and uses leather, feather, animal tested products and other animal based products. Fourth, cancer. Cancerous cells can be formed in your body by numerous things. At the moment, you have some cancerous cells in your body that you immunity system is fighting against. Yeah...
Animal Rights Reasons: 12. Animals on factory farms are over-crowded. They spend their brief lives in crowded and ammonia-filled conditions, many of them so cramped that they can't even turn around or spread a wing. 13. Animals on factory farms are tortured. Within days of birth, for example, chickens have their beaks seared off with a hot blade. Animals are hung upside down and their throats are sliced open, often while they're fully conscious. 14. Animals on factory farms are treated like machines. They are pumped up with drugs, fed their own waste and forced to grow or produce as fast as possible. They are subjected to 24-hour artificial lighting while being crammed into tiny cages one on top of the other to make it easier to harvest. 15. We don't need to eat animals! Most of us in the U.S. don't eat animals because we must in order to survive. We eat them because we want to. We are subjecting animals to torture, damaging the environment unnecessarily and subjecting ourselves to greater risk of disease just to satisfy a desire, not a need.
You don't agree? What documented rights do animals have? Animal abuse isn't a right if that's something you're going to jump to.
