2. Thanks for sharing, Dr. Chapman. You’re an English professor, right? Not an Animal Ethics professor. So why should we listen to you when you’re not an expert on animals?

3. Thanks, Dr. Chapman. I appreciate what you said, but I’m pretty sure I saw you eating a bacon & cheddar burger at Smashburger yesterday. So why should we listen to you when you don’t even practice what you preach?

4. Thanks so much, Dr. Chapman. I think my issue with vegetarians like you is that you sound so smug. Like, you all seem to think you’re so much better than the rest of us. Why are you so condescending?

5. Hi, Dr. Chapman. Thanks for presenting. I just want to point out that I disagree with you. I think it’s morally OK to buy and eat meat.

6. Thanks for your talk, Dr. Chapman. I’d like to tell you why I think it’s OK to eat meat. I think humans have always eaten meat. Look at our teeth. Our incisors are meant to tear through meat.

7. Thanks, Dr. Chapman. I’m interested in your 2nd premise about how buying meat causes animals to suffer. I’m not sure I agree with that point. I feel like it’s the corporations who are causing all the suffering, not me. How does a purchase cause suffering?
