*Treat all animals*
*with dignity*
Ellen Goodman's piece on the recent ban of selling live lobsters at
Whole Foods was an interesting take on both sides of the lobster debate
("Ethical eating tests our taste for knowledge," July 14). While people
tend to have varying opinions on the lobster issue, I think we can all
agree that chickens, pigs and cows in today's factory farms should be
treated with at least the same dignity as the lobsters.
Just because people see lobsters in the store tanks should not make
lobsters' comfort a higher priority than the billions of factory farm
animals who spend their entire lives suffering in painfully confining
spaces. I think we should applaud Whole Foods' decision, while at the
same time encouraging companies and consumers to take this issue a step
further to protect the quality of life of all the animals we consume,
even the ones we are never able to meet.
