“I am thankful for meat eaters, as they are my ancestors, and I wouldn’t be here if they didn’t survive by eating meat!”
I’m a white American. It’s likely some of my ancestors owned slaves. Does that mean I should own slaves now?
My dad had seven children. If he didn’t have at least six children, I wouldn’t be here now. Does that mean I should have seven children?
My friend’s dad drove drunk all the time when he was in his twenties and nothing ever happened. Does that mean my friend should drive drunk?
My primate ancestors likely flung their poo and had sex in public. Does that mean I should fling my poo and have sex in public?
The past is the past for a reason. Live in the present.
Presently, most meat comes from animal agribusiness that not only treat the animals unfairly, they also spread human disease and cause massive pollution. It’s not good for your health, it’s not good for the planet, and it’s terrible for animals.
Let’s make sure future generations will be able to say, “My ancestors made the right choice to go vegan so that I could be here now.”
