Quote #2 on Ecological Struggle Quotes >> Animal Rights and Diet
“...it is only by delegating to others the detested work of slaughter, and by employing cookery to conceal the uncongenial truth, that thoughtful persons can tolerate the practice of flesh-eating. If Nature pointed us to such a diet, we should feel the same instinctive appetite for raw flash as we now feel for ripe fruit, and a slaughter-house would be more delightful to us than an orchard.”
