I have a negative reaction to most emotion-based animal suffering arguments, but this post struck me as being very sincere and heartfelt and I was glad to have read it. Maybe because I had a similar node of sadness come through on Thanksgiving, about poverty rather than animal suffering. I don’t even think poverty is the most important cause but it’s extremely sad that people are suffering and dying for preventable reasons and I feel good about acknowledging that when the feeling comes up.
