Professor Gary Francione, you stated in your article with regards to eating meat that "It’s simply a matter of pleasure or convenience."

I'm curious, do you drive a car? Do you ever travel via plane? Do you have electric heating or cooling in your home? All of these things are not necessary for survival however they are used as a matter of convenience and contribute to global warming.

I'm sure you are aware of the effects of global warming on animals and their habitats yet you most likely participate in activities that produce unnecessary carbon emissions.

Why are these practices not also morally objectionable?
