Humans are not masters of the planet, we're stewards. We can certainly eat animals and use their hides for clothing, but we have a responsibility to take care of them as well.



Animals, whether you believe they have emotions or not, are living beings. As such they deserve the respect that all living things deserve. They should not be mistreated or tortured. We can have eggs and meat without being cruel and driven solely by profit.
