One of the paradoxes of veganism is that animals want to thank vegans for their compassionate abstention from animal products. And the only way animals can think to thank vegans is by offering them their flesh when they die. Yet this is the one gift that vegans cannot accept. So the least worthy humans, the meat eaters who don’t have compassion and don’t make self-sacrifices on the animals’ behalf, are the ones who get the reward that vegans by all rights deserve.
