It's interesting to think how, with time, humans may well view our dealings with animals as barbaric. Most all of us recognize dogs as having different characters, yet cows are somehow thought of generally as on par with potatoes in this respect. Is this what is meant by sublimation?
I eat meat occasionally, but never entirely without some inner conflict. I should quit, I really should.
A sentence like 'I am a proud dog owner' puzzles me. What does that even mean?
