& gt; gDo we,<br> & gt; as humans, having an

ability to reason and to communicate abstract

ideas<br> & gt; verbally and in writing, and to form ethical and

moral judgments using the<br> & gt; accumulated knowledge

of the ages,<br> & gt; have the right to take the

lives of other sentient organisms,<br> & gt; particularly

when we are not forced to do so by hunger or dietary

need, but<br> & gt; rather do so for the somewhat

frivolous reason that we like the taste of<br> & gt; meat? In

essence, should we know better?h

This is an interesting question.<br><br>I answer

it for myself this way:<br>Although some animals

appear to be conscious, their frontal cortex is not

developed enough to<br>bring all their behaviours together

into a<br>consciousness.<br><br>I believe I should not

be cruel to animals, not<br>for their sake so much,

as mine. In that, if I am<br>not cruel to animals, I

will be less likely be<br>cruel to my fellow human

beings.<br><br>While it is true animals are sentient in that<br>they

have senses, it seems to me that because they<br>lack

an organising cortex, they are not

conscious.<br><br>I think, though, that if you believe that

animals<br>are reincarnated human beings, you may not

be<br>inclined to eat your Auntie or Uncle.<br><br>I think there

are many reasons to eat raw food,<br>from health to

ecology to religion. And we all eat<br>the same raw

food.<br><br>Victor.
