This may be a rash statement to make, and I fear much negative response from people on the message board, but has anyone noticed the great parallels that exist between carnivorous animal-killers and HITLER?!? How about the fact that millions of animals are MURDERED simlpy because certain humans deem them inferior and worthless (except to fill their gluttonous interiors) just as millions of PEOPLE were exterminated due to a delusion that many considered NORMAL!!! I am not trying to diminish the severity of genocide-such as the Holocaust-but rather to increase that of the senseless destruction of animal lives for a reason as completely ludicrous and unnatural as meat-eating.I think that the world needs a swift kick to it's consciousness in order to wake up and realize what a dangerous thing the meat-based diet really is, and acknowledge the ecological decay that is perpetuated by multinational fast food "restaurants" such as MCDONALD's, before we are literally eaten out of HOUSE AND HOME (being our natural environment)!!!!--
McSpotlight: You're right. It *is* a rash statement to make; Firstly, mentioning the Holocaust invokes Godwin's Law; secondly, as many meat-eaters will inform you with glee, Hitler was a vegetarian - therefore, vegetarians are all really Nazis in disguise.
Not the most cogent argument, but on the whole, it's better not to try straining a faint analogy if you're just going to give your opponents a juicy target.
