Frankly speaking, your argument is dead meat
Dr Frank is a perfect example of a meat eater who, no matter how many times I answer his arguments point by point, still keeps coming back with the same nonsense.
As I noted before, when he argues that animals eat animals he overlooks the fact that most animal species, including the ones he eats, are vegetarians. As for those animals who do eat animals they generally do so for survival. But I find it ironic that while on one hand humans say we are at a higher moral level than animals, on the other hand they argue that if it’s okay for a cat to eat animals why isn’t it alright for me to do the same? But if we’re supposed to be at a morally higher level than cats why should they be our role models?
Finally, I have also answered the idiotic “plants feel pain” argument a million times. Since plants have no centralised nervous system virtually all scientists agree plants don’t feel pain. But even if they did, because most plant food is fed to livestock the meat industry is the number one destroyer of plants. In his book “Animal Liberation”, Peter Singer writes that meat eaters indirectly cause 10 times as many plants to be destroyed as a vegan does.
