People should continue eating meat, especially on holidays, as some of the Bible stories
indicate.
It is hypocritical for people who call themselves animal lovers to eat meat and fish.
But for animal testing in experiments, we wouldn't have had penicillin or other products to
keep us healthy.
Animal activists are right when they obect to animals being used in experiments or scarified
for the traditional meals. Animals have feelings so they should be treated as humans.
