The late Peter Capstick put it more briefly:
Everything dies and is eaten. As a professional hunter and safari outfitter, he saw more of that up close than many.
All life springs from death and dissolution -- into the furtherance of life. Veganism is for citified people who, well, are at odds with ecology in general.
(Shudder) Not for me, thank you. I much prefer chowing down on a vegetarian recipe than listening to the half-educated drivel that seems so much of veggie-and-beyond-veggie philosophy.
Some may be more comfortable devouring something that is highly unlikely to actually notice you devouring it, but I've never seen that that would make moral odds in light of the above.
