John Robbins:

Meat-eaters ingest residues of the animal’s biochemical
response to the horror of the slaughterhouse…
When we eat animals who have died violent deaths
we literally eat their fear.

We take in biological agents designed by nature
to tell an animal that its life is in the gravest danger,
and it must either fight or flee for its life and then,
in our wars and daily lives, we give expression to
the panic in which the animals we have eaten died.
