It is not respectful to use all of the parts of an animal

Some people claim it is respectful to the animal to buy the liver of a dead animal, etcetera.


This mentality also permeates the "slow food" movement (they refer to it as the "nose to tail" use of an animal and insist that it's more ethical and respectful to consume as much of another animal's body once you've stolen her life). Whether you take her life in the forest, in a slaughterhouse or behind a barn, I guarantee you that this being whose life you stole her wouldn't care which part -- or how many parts -- of her dead body you took for your own selfish use. And however little or much you use has no bearing whatsoever on whether or not you were wrong to kill her. ~ My Face Is on Fire
