Dieing is dieing...I agree, but the way in which they died is very much a part of this whole thing.
And to compare someone who is eating a hamburger to what Vick was doing is as repulsive as it gets. As the author points out, animals eat animals all the time as a food supply as a part of nature. Humans are animals too and eat other animals as a food supply. Yet he concludes what humans do for food is somehow equitable to what Vick and his gang of thugs did for fun??
Laughable.

You'll note several of his points that are directly in response to your 'how they died' point. Kosher, bleeding out chickens, stunning steers, hunting with a bow instead of a rifle, etc are all very inhumane but part of accepted practice. If all the food in our food system was killed humanely I could take your point, but as a point of fact it is clearly not.
