I feel like Rifkin is trying to not say educate but see what we do with animals. Rifkin states that animals feel emotion. He said, “ They feel pain, suffer and experience stress…”( paragraph 2, Rifkin). I have the choice to eat chicken,eggs,meat etc. Nobody should have a choice or be forced to be vegan. Rifkin argues that science has shown that the difference between animals and humans are less than we think and we should extend more “empathy” to animals. I disagree with that. The reason why is because animals naturally kill other animals. If a hawk does not care about the feelings of a rabbit that it eats, why should we be different ?
