Rose: As soon as I leave...you'll be tempted to nibble on the new sprouts... I have a suggestion...
Vicki: Don't.
Rabbit: Some gardeners are extremely territorial!
Well, I like eating young animals because they are tasty and tender. As they get older, the meat gets tougher.So why is it okay to eat older animals but not younger? Is there a moral difference?At what age does it become okay, and why then? What is your rationale?Seriously, where would you draw the line? When they are no longer considered “cute”?So it’s okay to eat the ugly ones…
Why do people hate plants so much that they feel the need to turn them into biological waste?They just sit there so nicely, absorbing sunlight, and YOU want to uproot them and EAT THEM!! SHAME on you!!Isn’t it better to get rid of the animals that want to damage your plants and eat THEM?
Can everyone just take a deep breath and relax? Just read the comic and move on…… Because a nice debate is all well and good, but not when it becomes disrespectful and petty!
I eat meat, only chicken and turkey, but I still eat meat. This is my humble opinion: Some people have no choice on what to eat, but in America most people have access to just about every food under the sun, and have no need to eat baby animals. Again this is only my humble opinion, but I think before we take away somethings life we can at least give it respect and compassion while it walks the earth. Being cold hearted, and even taking joy from the fact that one is destroying another creature is not a neccessary component of the proccess. The truth is that animals experience comfort and fear. A balanced human mind does not enjoy causing fear or pain for living creatures. Also unneccessary: ridiculing others for their choice to be vegetarian or eat meat. We can have differences and still respect each other. Those we disagree with will never hear our points if they are delivered with scorn.

if it’s never okay to eat animals, why are they made out of meat and lower on the food chain?

D. All of the above.Please don’t go there; this is a family strip, and presuming you are an adult, you should be able to keep such stuff to yourself.
