Obigate carivores have no choice, to survive. We are not obligate carnivores but facultative omnivores, with a choice. Nonhuman animals not only eat meat, but they kill, hurt, rape, subjugate and steal from members of their own species; so do humans. But we thought the better of it, and outlawed it. So what kind of an argument is it that other animals and our ancestors did it, so it’s alright for us to go on doing it in the special case of meat eating, at a time when it is no longer necessary for our survival or health — and harmful to every sentient being on the planet?
