    How is that respect?

    Hi lamb, I respect you. However, I’m okay with you being killed to become with food. You don’t want this, so I guess I don’t respect what you want. But other than that I respect you.

    Doesn’t sound like real respect to me.

    As a vegan, don’t you respect the plants you eat?

    Like a dead lamb, plants don’t benefit from my respect.

      there is no proof that nonhuman animals understand personal mortality so it could be true that lambs don’t want to die to the same extent that they do want to die, if they don’t understand that they, themselves, might die.

      So you don’t think plants are alive? Plants don’t deserve respect? Such mental gymnastic
