It was totally unpalatable to read the culinary abomination regarding a recipe for rabbits’ lungs. A progressive and environmentally conscious paper like the Reader should not promote the eating of meat. We can no longer inhumanely massacre animals for food. It’s very obvious that vegetarianism and veganism are now moral, spiritual, societal, environmental, and planetary imperatives. The flesh-food industries cause massive pollution, deforestation, water shortages, and irreparable damage to marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Eating animal flesh is an irreverent cultural tradition that must stop like so many others including whaling, bullfighting, cockfighting, dogfighting, hunting, trapping, and fishing. The merits of vegetarianism and veganism are evident in light of the millions of healthy Brahmins, Buddhists, Seventh-Day Adventists, and Jains who eschew flesh-foods. Man has dominion over the planet and it’s high time to liberate animals from continuing to experience hell on earth for unnecessary and gratuitous food, fashion, sport, and entertainment purposes. —Brien Comerford
