Animal Lover or Eater?

How Hypocritical Are You?

Alert — dog pictures ahead.

Some people have troubled me a lot in my life.

Me with a stray dog at a vacation.

They ask me not to be a hypocrite while loving dogs as a non-vegetarian. Have you faced that too?

I want to address this debate with my answer.

The simplest thing first — what might be right for me, might not be for you. Everyone should learn to respect that.

Are vegetarians not culpable?
Plants breathe too. Dairy products exploit animals as well.

Me with my pet dog when I first brought her home.

So basically, we are either eating them or their food.

If a plant is just food for you, so are some creatures for me. I never claimed to be a hen lover because that would make me a hypocrite.

I love animals, mostly dogs, but I don’t consider all animals as food. My pool of food might be wider than yours, including plants and certain creatures like hens, goats, or fish.
