“There is very real pleasure that can be derived from bull fighting, cock fighting, and dog fighting. Humans can derive pleasure from watching or betting, and it can even be a bonding experience with friendships made over it. Nevertheless, we correctly recognize that we could derive all of those same benefits from sporting events, so we correctly argue that if we have any interest in animal fighting we should train ourselves to not derive the sick pleasure from it and instead focus our attention on positive sporting events. There is no reason the same cannot be done with eating animals. We have the ability to reason and educate ourselves so that taste and habit no longer outweigh a lifetime of slavery and misery and the cutting short of the natural life of another sentient being. We can readily find new favorite dishes and create new food traditions.” — Charles Horn, from his new book Meat Logic: Why Do We Eat Animals?.
