Why I am not a vegan

[indolering]

As much as I'd like to see the elimination of all exploitation of animals including domestication, I think Shemaya is probably more realistic in this regard.  I suspect many people will continue to use cows and chickens (at least) for their milk and eggs for some time to come.  I would certainly hope that animal slaughter will be condemned in a similar vein as the murder of humans.  Animal cruelty will be frowned upon and even outlawed as being too barbaric in a so-called enlightened age.  I also think that pets (dogs, cats, etc) will be with us in the future - I can't imagine such a practice will be proscribed - domestication of pets doesn't appear to have any victims.  Pets as such have been with humanity for a long, long time and people are quite fond of the practice.  Further, the domestication of these animals has already occurred, and both humans and pets seem content in the relationship.
