Your thoughts. I would most definitely be one if I had a bit more self-control - but personally, I love meat too much.  I still don't agree with it, though. |

I would not give up meat, not even if I were paid millions.

I love meat, and I think it's sensible for a human to kill animals for food. But not for sport. I never really cared for hunting, but I love me some venison. It cracks me up how some people will freak out about deer meat, but they're perfectly ok eating beef. Just because cows aren't as cute as Bambi doesn't make it ok....

Ok I'm a vegetarian. It's not an ism. And why don't you agree with it Swoosh? I just think it's gross to eat something that was living. It's my opinion.

^They have a nervous system. (Biology has dork-ified me) Personally, I believe in eating meat cause, dude, we're omnivores. We're animals. We don't fault cats for eating cutesy little baby mice, now do we? We have to fufill our niche, or everything would be off balance. (get out of my head, Biology final... -_-) On the other hand, I believe that once a human makes a conscious choice to stop killing living things, they become more than an animal and break out of the *sings* CIIIRCLE OF LIIIIIIFE. I admire people who make that choice, but I'm not about to, because I would practically starve otherwise. I'm fine with being a stupid little animal who loooooves steak and seafood. XD t cracks me up how some people will freak out about deer meat, but they're perfectly ok eating beef. Just because cows aren't as cute as Bambi doesn't make it ok.... Urgh, I so agree. That PO's me off like nothing else. Everyone defends the cute little deer and cute little cows, but they stomp on bugs because they're "creepy and nasty". It's so... Prejudice, I suppose, is the best word. (Animalist?) I hatehatehate bug stompers. If a living thing doesn't bother you, don't bother it. (Of course, if I ever saw a live tarantula, I would run screaming from the vicinity, but I still don't believe it's right to deprive it of life.) As for animal testing... I dunno. I used to be dead set against it, but us as a human race need to look out for each other before all other species... Torturing an animal is terrible, but to sacrifice a rat to save millions of people... I dunno. It's a touchy topic for me. I suppose it all depends. |

I said that I DO believe in it, I'm just not disciplined enough to follow my ideals. Personally, I think causing pain to any living thing is immoral. So I don't necesarrily oppose MEAT, per se, but I do oppose the slaughterhouses' treatment of animals. I think it should be required that they tranquilize all animals used for eat before killing them, so that the process is painless. |

^Then you'd be paying twice as much for a lb. of beef. It's a noble idea, but just wouldn't work in any market. There's always Whole Foods, where you can eat free-range chicken. So you know that at least he had room to stretch his feathers before he died. 0.o
I like what Joy said. You speak of the immorality of eating meat, but it's just as immoral to go against the grain of nature and NOT eat the meat from the animals God created for us. Our ecosystem would be a lot different if humans didn't eat meat.

I still don't agree with it, though.
