Choices

We’re indoctrinated to believe that some animals are “put here” for our food and other animals are beloved companions. That’s just how it is. And sadly, we’re not taught to think critically about our food choices and how it affects other living beings, as well as our environment and health. We as a society believe that our actions are justified because “it’s always been that way,” but the same could be said for slavery and the inequality of women. That the animals suffer behind closed doors allows us to be blissfully ignorant—and we like it that way.
