a descendent of slaves should laugh about animals raised for food. there is nothing funny about slavery. sadly, the striking parallels between animal slavery and human slavery are completely lost from mr. mcginty, just as racism is an -- so too is speciism for inhumane treatment. well, bruce, my friend, i'm going to argue that you and i have a fundamental disagreement. you see some sort of moral equivalency between the treatment of pigs and my human ancestors. i think frankly and with all due respect, that is ridiculous. i was joking about pigs being delicious and nobody should unnecessarily be cruel to animals. make no mistakes, i see no contradiction in eating meat and at the sim same time, being steadfast to human beings abusing each other. i respect those who have a different opinion. it's a free country. live however you like, but
