Morality consists of principles that distinguish between right and wrong (Collins dictionary, 2015), which means it refers to certain code of conduct that, under certain provision, would be put forward by all rational persons. Ethical consumption of meat and vegetarianism has been a notable debate for quite a long period of time with a lot of arguments still going on.

(Li, 2002). Therefore, killing animals in a humane way for consuming them is justified. Moreover, if it is claimed that vegetarianism is ethical because it saves lives, it ignores the fact that plants are also living beings (Pantagraph, 1991). According to Cleve Backster (1968), a man completely not knowing of plant and animal science has not just tested plants for discernment and feeling, he asserts that he has experimental evidence that plants encounter an extensive variety of feelings and considerations. He additionally asserts that plants can read human personalities and he tested his plants on a polygraph machine and found that plants respond to considerations and dangers. We the human beings, animals and plants are part of the food chain. Animals also kill animals in order to survive. Unless an alternative pathway is developed of how to produce chlorophyll and grow roots, we will keep on killing in order to survive. (Pantagraph, 1991). Therefore vegetarianism is not moral either if it claims killing living beings to be unethical. Ultimately, even though it is believed by some that animals are treated unethically for which it is
