@trimontiumtrust.bsky.socialThe Greek writer #Plutarch (c. AD 46–after 119) also argued against eating meat. He condemned suffering inflicted on animals, criticised extravagant meat-eating at elite feasts, & argued humans were not naturally designed to eat flesh — pointing to our lack of claws, sharp fangs or hooked beaks.

@mattsh4393.bsky.sociala message from #Plutarch to American democracy: "Show no bashfulness in regard to an enemy, and do not suppose him trustworthy, though he may seem so." Trump does not even seem so, he says out loud the infamies he then enacts.
