Is Eating Animals Wrong???

Post Reply New Topic

its a part of life. would one rather see millions or billions of people starve?

i love animals, but there is a difference between farm animals and pets. I would love to see some treated better but one also has to be realistic. given each chicken 25 feet by 25 feet space when also trying to feed billions of people doesn't' seem realistic. space is limited and getting more so with more populations. heck I don't even have 25 by 25 feet room and many humans have less space than me.

as for humans being mean one can learn about the holocaust to see that. I can't be cruel to animals. I would kill them if I couldn't get meat from the store though. I prefer them to go fast and peacefully with no torment. I know others who don't think that way though.

but then people b***h about the genetic plants and how they bad, we need to do organic only blah blah, way it is we either need to do genetic plants and more cattle/clone meat or start killing off more people. vegetarian diet isn't as healthy as other diets. and while north korea might survive on mostly rice that doesn't mean it's healthy.

if one can not eat meat and live then do it, but others can't there isn't a one size fits all thing. I hardly eat any veggies, if I was mad to not eat any meat or products from animals I'd starve to death. vegan is a rich person thing. funny that the vegan restaurants can't survive alone on vegan stuff so they also serve meat here.

we can't go back to how it was in medieval times where everyone had their own garden and farm. population is too high now.

Folks don't need to justify why they eat what they eat, but to say people will starve or that's just the way that it is, etc., is avoiding the subject altogether to justify why they still eat meat. If folks want to eat meat, or anything really, I think it's important to know the actual facts. Eating meat is, in part, destroying the planet. It's also cruel and inhumane as we practice it currently. If individuals are ok with that because they love bacon, that's honestly up to them. I'm not posting facts to try and persuade individuals to become vegetarian or vegan, but meat eaters really do seem to spend a lot of time justifying their habits with ideas that aren't based in fact at all.

As a vegetarian myself, I may be a hypocrite but personally, eating meat isn't wrong.
I'm not a religious person but even god provided fish for human consumption.

I don't eat meat because I can live without it, so it's not compulsory.
Although it is part of the food chain, a lot of people do.

Each to their own.

we wouldn't' have to try to justify why we do stuff if people weren't trying to persuade us to not do it. some people would starve perhaps not all people but people would. probably mostly the poor people as the richer/middle class would can affor other food sources.

how the f**k is eating animals destroying the environment??? does eating cows somehow kill trees? should we let cows have free range and overpopulate? one animal overpopulate then affects another animal. if cougars get too high they start to decimate deer population. if we didn't eat meat then humans would likely just start mass killing animals like they did the buffalo or the do do, or the tasmanian tiger. most humans will only keep stuff they have a use for around(the right) cows wouldn't even be in the us if they had' had a use since they came from europe.

the people in alaska had a cow that gave milk for years and years then go too old so they killed it for food is this wrong?
should they have starved and let the cow go free to be killed by a bear? much more human right

don't eat meat I don't care, do I don't care, just don't judge me. this is why I won't ever date a vegan or vegetarian just too different to date or be friends.

All my vegetarian promotion aside, my son eats meat still. I believe it's a personal choice and people have to come to it on their own if they do come to it. I don't cook meat in our house outside of some fish and occasionally chicken nuggets, etc., but my son is still choosing to eat meat. We try to choose better options like free range, etc., and I believe he will eventually become full vegetarian. I think he's too young to be subjected to watching Earthlings, though I know if he did watch it he would soon be right off meat. I believe our food is a personal choice and we need to make it in our own ways and can't 'convert' vegetarians into being meat-eaters or vice-verse.

guess I'll just have to be a horrible as*hole human that eats meat.

the one link was a video trailer showed video of abuse to dogs ( people don't eat wolves, cougars, etc) so don't see how that goes with meat eating despite how horrible that is. theres bad meat places and good meat places. I've watched dirty jobs, and other documentaries not all places are bad lots trie to find a middle ground between proper treatment and mass production of meat. some the meat is murder people want animals to have more space than many humans thats just not possible. unfortunately I can't afford to know where my meat comes from the hamburger at all my local stores are all from similar sources and from cows from all over the world. if you can afford to eat non meat and animal products and have the ability to all the good for you. just don't judge those who can't

I don't really care what people do or what people eat, just most non meat eaters are judgmental and pushy about it. couldn't be with someone that is slowly building up hate to me cause I eat meat. so could probably only be with one who doesn't eat meat for medical reasons rather then ideology
