Vegetarianism: An Immaculate Conception

The ad calls vegetarianism, the best diet for human health, the environment, and animals, an “immaculate conception.”
“Hell on Earth”
Factory farms and slaughterhouses are “hell on Earth” for animals. Cows are castrated, have their horns amputated, and are branded—all without painkillers. Chickens are crammed into filthy sheds by the tens of thousands and forced to live among the corpses of birds who die of heart attacks or stress. Some even starve to death because their legs can’t support the weight of their genetically engineered and drug-induced massive bodies, making it impossible for them to reach food. Baby pigs have their ears mutilated, the ends of their teeth broken off, and their tails amputated, and males are castrated—all without anesthetics.
What You Can Do
You have a choice. When you sit down to eat, you can add to the level of violence, misery, and death in the world, or you can respect God’s original plan with a vegetarian diet. A vegetarian diet is good for your health and spares animals unimaginable suffering and violence. Remember: God’s mercy is over all God’s creatures.

Free Vegetarian Starter KitPETA’s new billboard, which features an image of God holding root vegetables in his hands, is designed to encourage people to exemplify God’s word by rededicating themselves to the Fifth Commandment and becoming vegetarian. “Today’s factory farms and slaughterhouses are the embodiment of violence, bloodshed, and exploitation,” says PETA’s Director of Vegan Outreach Bruce Friedrich. "We should extend the message that “God is love’ to animals by not eating them.”
Compassion and Respect for All God’s Creatures
More than 27 billion animals are killed for food every year in the United States. All of them, whether pigs, cows, fish, or chickens, are indisputably individuals with feelings—they feel love, happiness, loneliness, and fear, just as dogs, cats, and human beings do.
The purpose of factory farms is to produce the most meat, milk, and eggs while using the least amount of space, time, and money. The animals suffer the consequences of these shortcuts. They are never allowed to do anything that is natural to them—they are never able to feel the grass beneath their feet, the sun on their faces, or fresh air—nothing that God intended for them to experience.
They endure mutilation—chicks have their beaks burned off, cows and pigs are castrated, cows are dehorned and branded, and the list goes on—all without any pain relief. Chickens are crowded so closely together that they can barely move. Factory farmers restrict animals’ movement, not only to save space, but also so that all their energy goes into producing flesh, eggs, or milk—not to sustain themselves or their young, but to be stolen for human consumption. These animals spend their lives confined to concrete stalls and metal cages, terrified and suffering in such unnatural conditions.
Their fear and pain end only after they have been driven, without food or water and often in extreme weather conditions, to the mechanized murder of today’s slaughterhouse, where they are skinned and dismembered, often while still conscious.
Christians have a choice. When we sit down to eat, we can add to the level of violence, misery, and death in the world or we can respect His creation by eating a vegetarian diet.

I think it is dangerous to try to put humans and animals on the same level, and i do think these ads are a little extreme, but the corporate mass production of living creatuers is a gross abuse of the gift God gave us in animals. I think the sensible thing to do is take the middle road. Reduce the amount of meat in your diet and buy free range eggs and chicken when you can. Incidentally, i have a book from Peta by one Peter Singer in which he claims you can use the civil rights arguments of the 60’s to defend animal rights. I wonder if he’s the same Peter Singer who advocates infanticide in the Netherlands.
