One thing I wish more vegans would do is read pro-meat articles, since reading stuff written by the other side can help us to stay sharp in choosing our own arguments.
On the other hand, it’s surprising how flimsy the pro-meat arguments often are. Check out this piece, written by a college senior majoring in animal science. She writes:
The fact is, mistreatment of the animals is strongly discouraged and only occurs in limited instances.
Limited? Like this set of abuses, announced by HSUS only last week? Or this Mercy For Animals investigation from May, that revealed systematic cruelty at a large egg farm? And let’s not forget the HSUS Chino investigation from January, which prompted the USA’s largest beef recall and forced the slaughterhouse out of business.
Mistreatment “only occurs in limited instances,” huh? Then why are horrifying cruelties exposed at factory farms seemingly every time an undercover investigation occurs? Link.
