"Another favorite comment I love is the one that asserts that vegans are denying the fact that humans are “animals, too,” since because, in nature, animals kill animals and eat them, it’s natural for us to do so, as well. Aside from the fact that humans physiologically resemble herbivorous animals more than we do carnivorous ones, it’s also NATURAL for animals to eat only plants! There are more herbivores on the planet than carnivores, and it’s NATURAL for them to NOT eat animals. Aligning humans with the carnivorous lion rather than the vegetarian elephant is a convenient escape clause for justifying something that has no justification. Isn’t it convenient that it’s never suggested that we use plant-eating animals as our model."
