"For some reason these ?conscientious? carnists think that a cow?s vagina is less important to the cow, than a human female?s vagina is to the human female, insofar as both animals want to be free from forceful reproductive violation. Why female carnists exist is a mystery in itself. Male chicks are still ground up alive, suffocated, or ?disposed of? in another way. Male calves still get sent to veal farms. Pigs are still castrated. Regardless of what happens during life, they all meet the same deadly fate in the slaughterhouse, and this is the issue ?conscientious? carnists avoid. No matter what the adjective is describing the farming method, all farm animals are born slaves and will die slaves. There is nothing ?conscientious? about that. Many of the proponents of ?conscientious? carnism who advocate ?humane? slaughter, if asked to describe the ?humane? slaughter of a dog, cat, or dolphin for food, come up short for replies, relying on an arbitrary species difference. Never questioning our use of non-human animals ? our exploitation of them for their flesh and secretions ? the ?conscientious? carnivore is only worried about treatment ? and only enough to prevent themselves from experiencing the suffering empathy causes them." ?I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we can stand the pain of another creature straight along, without discomfort, until its pain gives us pain. Then we become immediately and creditably merciful. I suppose it is a pity that we have no higher motive for sparing pain to a fellow creature, still it is the cold truth ? we have no higher one. We have no vestige of pity, not a single shred of it, for any creature?s misery until it reaches the point where the contemplation of it inflicts misery upon ourselves. This remark describes every human being who ever lived.? ~ Mark Twain
