Pardon A Turkey

From Vegetarian Star:
“I ask you to do what I’m going to do and pardon a turkey this Thanksgiving. It’s not hard. Just eat something else (ideas here and here). Not someone else, because it doesn’t seem fair to spare a turkey and roast a hunk of pig or cow instead. If we can bow our heads in gratitude for our families, our friends and our big screen TVs, and then carve into a creature who lived a miserable life and died a horrible death, then our ethics are about as sensible as Britney’s parenting skills.”
It’s interesting to read the comments on Mr. Maher’s article. The so-called “left” cannot quite apply their own premises about ‘anti-prejudice’ and ‘false hierarchies’ consistently.
