What’s the Beef With Sue Coe?

Regarding “Slaughter of the Soul,” Kristine McKenna’s profile of artist Sue Coe (Aug. 4):

Coe bravely crossed the threshold of hell to depict what devastation is wreaked upon our fellow critters in the slaughterhouses.

She rightly quoted Dante, who said: “The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in times of great moral crises maintain their neutrality.” Dante’s Inferno was an allegory; Coe witnessed a true inferno.

There are unlimited alternatives to the ghastly habit of meat eating, a cornucopia of health-giving fruits, grains, seeds and vegetables to rival the Garden of Eden.
