and We Animals
said, "I don’t like being
asked by meat-eaters at dinner if I mind if they eat this piece of
chicken/pig/cow in front of me. Yes, I mind. It puts me in the position
of having to a) lie to you, to appease you and others at the table b)
assume this fake politically correct, good-humored thing to appease you
and others at the table, or c) tell you that, "Yes, I do mind. That
chicken/pig/cow is a murdered animal who died unnecessarily and I find
it sad and offensive", which makes me the bad guy and ruins everyone’s
good time. So, just don’t ask, or better yet, don’t eat animals at that
meal."Suggested Reading: Mind If I Order the Cheeseburger?: And Other Questions People Ask Vegans by Sherry F. Colb
