Eat and Let Us Eat Meat!

“Murderer!” shouted a group of people as I was about to mouth broccoli and spinach hooked to my fork, sitting comfortably in a restaurant couch.

“It’s a veg salad; I’m a vegetarian, I don’t eat meat,” I told them proudly.

“Oh, so you think plants have no life? What you’ve stabbed was once alive, it was killed so that you can fill your stomach!” said one fierce woman.

“B…B…But, we cultivate these plants and crops so that they can serve as our food. We grow them and we eat them,” I said trying to put together my shattered pride.

“You grow them, so you eat them! You feel you can kill them just because they can’t speak or move! What’s the difference between you and flesh-eaters, then?”

I was left stammering and they left stamping a sticker on my t-shirt. It read:

                                                                          

PETP – People for the Ethical Treatment of Plants

Plants and trees are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, use for decoration or abuse in any way.

“Eat air and drink water, not plants or their products and milk!” they kept chanting.

That sounded so stupid, wasn’t it? So, shut up and let us non-vegetarians eat what we eat. We would like another piece of chicken, rather listen to your stupid piece of moral!
