'Hi Mr. Cripple, you do not feel any pain so therefore it is fine to kill you and eat you, I hope that is alright,' said Chef.
'Of course it is,' replied Mr. Cripple.

That is just not right, I do not see the need for pain as a definition of what I can eat and what I cannot. Plants are still alive, they might well have a conscious and a soul, how are we meant to tell? Plants still get killed for food and if they don't you are eating their strach stores (that is like stealing) or eating their babies Just like animals.

Pain has nothing to do with it, animals just have a superiority complex.
