What the grieving mother orca tells us about how animals experience death

You're right: we just don't care enough. We've desensitized ourselves to the killing of most animals. Eating dogs is gross because dogs are pets, but pigs and cows are just as adorable and yet we eat them.

The funny thing is that my wife is vegetarian and I know for a fact that vegetarian food can be just as nourishing and delicious as a meat-filled diet.

I don't even know what the solution. Perhaps if lab-grown meat becomes a viable option, I'd switch in a heartbeat.

> delicious as a meat-filled diet

Isn't that highly subjective? I love meat, but I really doubt any sort of vegetable combination can give me the same taste.

To be fair, poster didn't say "the same taste", they said "just as delicious". I think Indian food proves them correct.

There are definitely some Indian dishes where I would pick the vegetarian option over the meat one happily.
