I can't come at the moral argument about poor sentient beings deserving of life etc. because most of the animals we eat for meat would never have been born except we bred them to eat.

I also have no qualms about eating feral animals that don't belong in our environment, and I'm also OK with kangaroo because they are far from being endangered and in fact are probably present in the Australian environment in far greater numbers than in pre-European times because of the provision of permanent water in the Outback.

There is a valid argument about the ecological footprint of farming meat as opposed to farming plant-based foods though.

lol

Horses are the source of one of my proofreading go-tos.

I'm somewhat surprised to be a sought after proofreader but I'm going with it for now, anyway.

ok, therein lies a tale

"free reign".

I have 2 100k word novels to proofread during the next couple of weeks.

Prior to this I've been a beta reader, but I catch stuff that proofreaders miss, so I've self-promoted myself to proofreader.

The self-publishing community is an interesting bunch of individuals, with various levels of actual expertise, and various levels of self-judged expertise in all the tasks involved in getting a finished novel published and beyond.

I'm highly valued among the handful of writers who have engaged me to look at their words.

you're not 1 of those horsey types are you

I was, once upon a time. At least to enough extent to know that "free reign" is a dumb thing that no horseperson would write.

[MSG]

have you read the Earth's Children series?

I read as far as the Mammoth Hunters. Maybe one beyond that. Even for me, an inveterate word-eater, the content-to-paragraph ratio was problematic.

[MSG]

yeah, I wouldn't bother reading past that 1; the fourth was bad and the fifth was, in TR terminology, legitimately terrible

but like the Imperatrix, the sun goddess-in-training was also squick about horse meat owing to her attachment to Whinney

starts retort with gloveslapping the good sir from the southern hemisphere

your standpoint on not seperating which animals we eat because emotional ties seems far superior in mind than the opposite.

i am a meat eater and have been all my life

i dont really support your argument about "we breed them so then we can consume them", if anything i have a problem with the meat factories. free roaming stuff from small farms that have lived a better life is easier for me to swallow.
