"We (humans) share 95% or more of our DNA with most domesticated animals, from pigs to cattle to hamsters to cats. Together with DNA, the mammals all share recognizable behavioural traits when its comes to things like territory, fear, sex, parenting, eating, and social interaction. Many of the hormones, secretions, and fluids of domesticated mammals are similar to our own, and capable of affecting human behaviour. Indeed, we harvest animal hormones for this purpose medicinally, taking insulin from pigs to treat diabetes, and HRT product from horse urine to treat menopausal women. The body chemicals produced by other mammals during the shock and horror of impending slaughter are likely to be triggering similar chemical receptors in our brains, prompting fear, despair, and hostility."
"Eating, whether done by anteaters, bees, cattle, or human beings, is essentially the transmutation of one life form's components into another life form. The simplest global guidance I ever received on this matter came from George Ohsawa, the father of macrobiotics, who advises us to eat 'as far away from yourself as possible'." -Gregory Sams
