A lot of people died right at the end, and I didn’t
know if I could make it another day. A farmer, a Russian, God bless him, he saw my condition,
and he went into his house and came out with a piece of meat for me.”
“He saved your life.”
“I didn’t eat it.”
“You didn’t eat it?”
“It was pork. I wouldn’t eat pork.”
“Why?”
“What do you mean why?”
“What, because it wasn’t kosher?”
“Of course.”
“But not even to save your life?”
“If nothing matters, there’s nothing to save.”

While written in a much different context, George Orwell’s words (from Animal Farm )
apply here: “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

So although there are important exceptions, to speak about eating animals
today is to speak about factory farming.
