Re: Grand National
As a species the human being has evolved to eat meat and vegetables. We used to hunt animals for their meat and skins. We have learned to herd certain animals so that we no longer need to go out and hunt them for food. Sadly some animals are treated badly in the interests of more profit but that is a different issue.
We have as much right to eat animals as they have to eat us, if they get the opportunity. It’s called the natural order of things.
That is the difference. Herd, coral and kill an animal for its food value is OK because it is part of our natural make up. Forcing an animal to race another to satisfy some human foible to prove himself a better person than another is not OK.
