"A good person is a friend of all living things."
A small tattered and abandoned shoe rests on a sun-bleached bench, with a green adopt-a-bench plaque reading: "A good person is a friend of all living things" near the green metal top of the seat.

Some fun with a broken DSLR and 200mm at Point Pelee
The greens, yellows, and browns of marshy water swirl with pockets of grasses and detritus. A wooden, slightly elevated pathway flanked by brown and green grasses, weaving away from the viewer with a cardinal taking off in the centre background. A wooden walkway swerves through tall beige grass with a singular green metal and wood-planked bench in the right third of the image. Yellow, brown, and green trees in the background. A goose bobbing underwater for food, just its webbed feet and backside visible above the surface of the rippling pond water.

What do you think? Is there ethical meat consumption under capitalism?
