We know why we're veggies
I READ Vera Percy's letter (September 14) with a mixture of amusement and bafflement.
Vegetarians are well aware that our bodies defence mechanisms kill harmful bacteria. This, however, is out of our control. We are also aware that plants and vegetables have been nourished by dead animals.
The majority of vegetarians became vegetarians because they realise that for them there is an alternative food that does not rely on the barbarism that is factory farming.
I will however follow her advice and stay away from regurgitating seagulls, or perhaps they seek out meat eaters for revenge.
