Vegetarianism?

[Ezzie.]

a) plants don't feel pain, b)animals aren't meant to die... they're meant to live. If there was a higher species than us then that would make us born to die? Everyone has to die sometime but cutting a life short is pointless. If there is say no god (which i don't believe) Then all the animals get one chance on this earth and it's cut short. Some fo the baby lambs get killed at just a few months old? That's the same as killing a two year old human..

It's nothing like killing a human. As I've said before, we're sentient. Lambs in the wild without humans would still be killed anyway, like I've been saying throughout, it's natural. Cutting life short in this case isn't "pointless" either, it's so that I can have a tasty snack.

Also, you haven't given any proof whatsoever that plants don't feel pain, you're just repeating your opinion over and over in the hope that I'll just give in. How about a reason?

So it's natural for humans to come load them in trucks slit their throats (100s at a time) then put them in vans slice + dice and serve em at mcdonalds? yeah o.O

[FlyingJesus]

Well yes actually, that's how we've evolved... but nevertheless, the amount that are killed would be the same if the livestock lived among us and we just killed whenever we needed to eat.

If plants can't feel pain as we do, why do animals? Some plants shrink away from touch, and if you've listened to your biology teacher at all you'd know that plants are reactive to light and heat. They have a system of nerves just like any other living thing, it's just as arrogant to say plants don't feel pain as it is to say animals don't.

Also, you haven't given any proof whatsoever that plants don't feel pain, you're just repeating your opinion over and over in the hope that I'll just give in. How about a reason?

Are you trying to argue that plants feel pain?

Thank you PETA for brainwashing young, impressionable kids into joining your cult and giving you money to put out more propaganda.
That video shows what happens to a minority of animals. Coming from kind of a farming family, I can tell you that the majority of animals bred, raised and slaughtered are not treated cruely like that video shows.
If anyone knew anything about PETA, they'd know that their not exactly the worlds most reliable source when it comes to animal cruelty. Most of the money they actually make, doesn't go towards helping animals at all, probably goes to some fat man in a suit, with gout...possibly from eating too much meat - Oh wouldn't that be ironic?
Oh yes, and then there's goveg.com, run by...shock shock, PETA.
They blatantly use celebrities to entice sheep, the metaphoric kind, to become vegetarian.
I'm all for vegetarianism if it's done for the correct reasons, but how many of you, who call yourself vegetarian, and oh killing animals is SO WRONG, how many of you actually have leather shoes? clothing? heck even FILM for cameras have animal products in. I'll garuntee that 99% of you still use items/products that have been made with some part of an animal.
Little word that comes to mind there. Hypocrites.
Another point, most of you have seem to forgotten that these animals were bred for this purpose...If we didn't breed them for food etc, they wouldn't be bred at all...So they wouldn't even exsist.

So it's natural for humans to come load them in trucks slit their throats (100s at a time) then put them in vans slice + dice and serve em at mcdonalds? yeah o.O

They serve meat at McDonalds now?
Shocking, I thought it was cardboard.

I know what you mean about PETA "/ Have you seen petakillsanimals.com or something? =/

And surely if the animals were left by themselves they'd end up breeding anyway?

[Ezzie.]

Good point Rach I agrere with you but one of the reasons i don't eat meat atm is because it tastes horrible, the killing of animals is just an added thing that I don't really approve of. What's PETA? by the way? I've heard of them but never really know much info.
