"Of course, ask any question you like."

"Thank you sir, our first question would have to be, what did you think about old major and animalism?"

"Well, old major was an influence on me however; his invasion of freedom was, depressing. I value the rich and more lavish things in life. Old major just wanted to be free.

He could have put up even a small fight, although fighting would be futile. I knew I was going get rid of him, and when I put my mind to something, I get it done."

"I never knew how much you disliked him. It's tragic you two couldn't get along. This question isn't on my list but I need to know the answer. Why did you kill the animals?"

"You young naive little pig, I killed the animals not because I wanted to, but because I needed to. However, I did want to kill some of them.

Then, I will consider a reply to my objection. As a result of this analysis, I hold that Pollan’s argument and thus the proposed argument for the conclusion that it is morally permissible to eat humanely farmed meat will be justified.…
