I'd be a lot more likely to agree if the Bible didn't tell us to eat animals. If you click on Jan's name, you can go to her website, which explains that her organization is pro-life, not only for the unborn, but for all sentient beings, apparently implying animals to be sentient beings. How about it, Jan? Why stop with animals? Plants can probably feel pain too...they suffer when we pick their fruit because they can't reproduce - they are having their reproductive rights abridged! Down with eating plants! One of the more interesting off-topic comments we’ve had for a while here on the blog. I’d be a lot more likely to agree if the Bible didn’t tell us to eat animals.

It is a matter of the heart. Billions of God's creatures (whom He has compassion on) suffer daily for our stomachs. 'To the merciful, they will obtain mercy.' Jesus 'Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.'
