1) We have molar teeth to masticate food, to chew; we do not have canines to rip flesh as carnivores do. 2) Our saliva contains Alpha-Amylase, an enzyme that digests plant foods, which is not found in the saliva of carnivores. 3) Meats putrefy much faster than vegetables, so carnivores have intestines that are only 3 times body length. Harbivores have 10 to 12 times body length, as do humans. 4) The concentration of the stomach acids of carnivores is 20 times that of herbivores and humans, it takes less acid to digest vegetables and fruits. 5) We do not have claws to tear and rip flesh, our hands with the opposing thumb is more suited for harvesting fruits and vegetables. 6) Carnivores have a great capacity to rid themselves of cholesterol. Humans do not. 7) Carnivores lap up water and pant to get rid of body heat. Humans sip water and perspire through skin pores. ***Vegetables, fruits and grains are rich in fiber and nutrients, but instead of eating them we feed them to the animals and then instead ingest fats and cholesterol from the animals. Where is the logic?*** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Poor animals! How jealously they guard their pathetic bodies . . . that which to us is merely an evening's meal, but to them is life itself." ~T. Casey Brennan "The beef industry has contributed to more American deaths than all the wars of this century, all natural disasters, and all automobile accidents combined. If beef is your idea of "real food for real people" you'd better live real close to a real good hospital." ~Neal Barnard, M.D. "People often say that humans have always eaten animals, as if this is a justification for continuing the practice. According to this logic, we should not try to prevent people from murdering other people, since this has also been done since the earliest of times." ~Isaac Bashevis Singer "Ask the experimenters why they experiment on animals, and the answer is: 'Because the animals are like us.' Ask the experimenters why it is morally OK to experiment on animals, and the answer is: 'Because the animals are not like us.' Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction." ~Professor Charles R. Magel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just because it is accepted by society, doesn't make it right. -Having black slaves was accepted, but it isn't right. -The extermination of millions of Jews was accepted, but it isn't right -Women were treated uneaqually, and less of people than men, but it isn't right. Morally, these things were and still are wrong. People realized that it was unfair and unethical. It's about time people realized that slaughtering, eating, testing, and wearing animals as coats is wrong.
