1. “If everyone stopped eating animals, they would take over the earth!”









Apparently, you’ve never heard of supply and demand. If people stopped eating meat, farmers would stop breeding animals. It’s that simple.





2. “The animals will go extinct.”











Pretty sure species conservation isn’t dictated by our diets… Try again!





3. “What about plant suffering?”















First of all, don’t even pretend you care about plant suffering. Secondly, plants have no brain or central nervous system, which means they can't feel anything.





4. “But our ancestors ate meat.”











Our ancestors did a lot of things that we wouldn’t stand by today. As they say, “When you know better, you do better.”





5. “At least they were born.”











Which, when you’re destined to a life of misery and suffering, isn’t saying much.





6. “If we didn’t milk cows, they would explode.”











Isn’t it amazing that explosive lactation isn’t a problem for any other mammal?





7. “But they were bred to be killed.”











So bringing animals into the world just to abuse and kill them makes it OK?





8. “Lions kill animals in the wild.”











Were you planning on chasing down a gazelle, ripping it apart with your claws, and eating it raw? Yeah, right.
