"Imagine
that you are creating a fabric of human destiny with the object of
making men happy in the end, giving them peace and rest at last, but
that it was essential and inevitable to torture to death only one tiny
creature... and to found that edifice on its unavenged tears, would you
consent to be the architect on those conditions?"
Feodor
Dostoevski

"Can you really ask what reason Pythagoras had for abstaining from
flesh? For my part I rather wonder both by what accident and in what
state of soul or mind the first man did so, tozuched his mouth to gore
and brought his lips to the flesh of a dead creature, he who set forth
tables of dead, stale bodies and ventured to call food and nourishment
the parts that had a little before bellowed and cried, moved and lived.
How could his eyes endure the slaughter when throats were slit and
hides flayed and limbs torn from limb? How could his nose endure the
stench? How was it that the pollution did not turn away his taste,
which made contact with the sores of others and sucked juices and
serums from mortal wounds? ... It is certainly not lions and wolves
that we eat out of self-defense; on the contrary, we ignore these and
slaughter harmless, tame creatures without stings or teeth to harm us,
creatures that, I swear, Nature appears to have produced for the sake
of their beauty and grace. But nothing abashed us, not the flower-like
like tinting of the flesh, not the persuasiveness of the harmonious
voice, not the cleanliness of their habits or the unusual intelligence
that may be found in the poor wretches. No, for the sake of a little
flesh we deprive them of sun, of light, of the duration of life to
which they are entitled by birth and being."
Plutarch
