An interesting site with many links on vegetarianism, religion and animal rights
can be found at the Ahimsa home page
http://www.wizard.net/~ethan/ahimsa.htm
Mentioned on this page is a quote from - C. David Coats from the preface of
his book: Old MacDonald's Factory Farm
" Isn't man an amazing animal? He kills wildlife - birds, kangaroos, deer,
all kinds of cats, coyotes, beavers, groundhogs, mice, foxes, and dingoes -
by the millions in order to protect his domestic animals and their feed.
Then he kills domestic animals by the billions and eats them.
This in turn kills man by the millions, because eating all those animals
leads to degenerative and fatal health conditions like heart disease, kidney
disease, and cancer.
So then man tortures and kills millions more animals to look for cures for
these diseases. Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed
by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to
fatten domestic animals.
Meanwhile, some people are dying of sad laughter at the absurdity of man,
who kills so easily and so violently, and once a year sends out a card
praying for 'Peace on Earth'. "
