    I believe that the suffering of humans is of an order of magnitude more important than any suffering an animal could go through.
That part really makes me wonder how insensitive to animal suffering people can be. Even if you only consider the physical pain. This is something that most human beings are very afraid of and try to eliminate it from our society almost completely, while leaving billions animals annually to suffer the pains of terrible amounts . Do you really think that animals don't feel the pain or feel it different than we do? In fact we are just another animal. Do you really think that it is alright if a one cow at a 10,000 is skinned alive and concious, just so the costs of meat could be reduced by few cents?
