Yes, treating anything the way humans treat animals is wrong. Isaac Bashevis Singer lived through the holocaust as a Jewish man, and learned firsthand what suffering is inflicted on the animals. He then wrote this quote.
We are animals. Simplistic in many ways many animals eat meat, and that's ok. We do it too. We should do it much less from an environmental standpoint. Meat is good to eat, however there is nothing wrong with not eating meat. Plants feel too, not like us for sure but they communicate damage to one another.
Appeal to nature fallacy
Are you implying that people aren't animals?
No, drag's implying people don't have to do something just because it's natural. Dying of dysentery is natural, but we try to avoid that. That's why your argument that we should eat meat because it's natural is silly
I doubt it.
