If you can nourish yourself adequately without eating meat, isn’t buying meat needlessly causing, or at least being complicit in causing, the death of an animal? Isn’t buying eggs from hens who have led a miserable life, jammed into small wire cages, needlessly causing, or being complicit in causing, the suffering of animals?
什么是受苦和“毫无必要”的死亡？如果你不吃肉也能活得好好的，那么买肉不就是毫无必要地造成了（至少间接造成了）某头动物的死亡？买鸡蛋不就是毫无必要地造成了（或间接造成了）动物的受苦——如果下蛋的母鸡生活悲惨，被囚禁在狭小的铁丝笼中的话？
