This isn't animal experimentation, where you an imagine some proportionate good at the other end of the suffering. This is what we feel like eating. Tell me something: Why is taste, the crudest of our sense, exempted from the ethical rules that govern our other sense? If you stop and think about it, it's crazy. Why doesn't a horny person has as strong a claim to raping an animal as a hungry one does to killing and eating it?
Jonathan Safran FoerPeople donโt care enough. They donโt get worked up enough. They donโt get angry enough. They donโt get passionate enough. Iโd rather somebody hate what I do than be indifferent to it.
Jonathan Safran FoerSometimes people who seem good end up being not as good as you might have hoped, you know?
