For instance, eating beef is normal but if you eat ostrich meat (or something like that), it seems to be cruel. Why is that?
Do you think all animals should be treated equally or not? |

QUOTE The reason why animals are treated differently is mainly because of the way they look. Humans are more likely to be nicer to a mammal animal (horse, cat, dog) rather than an insect. Or anything that isn't cute and furry. That's why...I don't think it's cruel to eat Ostrich meat. It's just weird because I guess I am so used to cows being eaten. I do remember my Dad's friend brought over some Ostrich jerky over one time. I didn't eat it because 1) I am picky and 2) Eww. That doesn't sound good. It's not cruel to eat ostrich meat because they aren't "cute and fuzzy"?
