South London Beers: Reboot - Last Thursday of the Month at The Prince Regent, Herne Hill, SE24

I don't like cattle and would be happy to have a few left in zoos, but that's another story.

Let's take your victorian maid, make her have kids, then kill her and eat her. Then let's do the same to her children. Seems like an awesome deal, no?

The example there was of the relationship that it is possible to have where care given is equal to renumeration.

I woudl imagine that eating your maid would lead to a problem hiring a new one.

Obviously things fall down when one anthropamorphises them- but this is the essential problem with veganism in many ways, it stops seeing animals as animals and accords them with human attributes- feelings, thoughts etc.
