Lucky... 0 #104 February 14, 2008 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>I will always eat meat, but I do make sure the animals are raised and slaughtered humanely. That's like saying if a pedophile captures and cares for little girls as he mollests them, he's humane. HUmane raising of animals fo slaughter is a gross contradiction. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>edit to add: For what it is worth....the packing plants kill the animals much more humanely than wild foxes, coyotes and bobcats do. Just food for thought. 1) So you want to compare the humanity of an animal to yourself? 2) Coyotes have to eat meat to live, you do not, you eat it by choice.

Lucky... 0 #111 February 14, 2008 Quote In an effort to keep this thread from heading to SC (yeah right... )... I'm a vegetarian. However, I stopped eating meat mainly for health reasons. It's amazing how telling someone you need/want to eat healthy means almost nothing to them, but as soon as you are a "vegetarian" it's like you're a "special needs" person and they'll cater to your request. Trust me, I get my fair share of heckling and teasing - I'll probably get it here. I could go into a looonnngggg drawn out decision about this, but I won't. Hands down - animal protein is NOT good for you, and after watching that clip - inhumane animal treatment is working its way up the list of reasons why I choose to be a vegetarian... ... please, let the teasing begin. The one soclice I have and the one that the butchered animals get is that with red meat and pork the consumers of those meats get to die early and often suffer toward the end. It is plain crule to decide that an animal's life is worth a meal. The beauty is that the hatred will fly, but that only reinforces my contention that meat eater's conscience bothers them.

warpedskydiver 0 #120 February 14, 2008 Exactly Bill, we all choose our own fates, and yet there should not be anyone to compel us to do as they want us to when it comes to diet, personal beliefs, or lifetyle, as long as it is not harming someone else directly.

Lucky... 0 #122 February 14, 2008 Quote Quote Does this clip make you want to become a vegetarian? or stop eating fast food? I voted yes, though I've been a vegetarian for 4-5 years now. And I'm a much heathier and happier person for making the change. Plus, it's sort of nice knowing I am no longer a significant contributor to the incomprehensibly vast amount of animal suffering that occurs thanks to our fat-assed, unhealthy nation's lust for meat. "Responsible" meat eating is fine by me, but it sure is disgusting seeing so many people right in this thread make light of such a large scale problem in terms of animal suffering. It's the height of low compassion and unenlightenment. Great post, I generally agree. >>>>>>>>>>>>I voted yes, though I've been a vegetarian for 4-5 years now. And I'm a much heathier and happier person for making the change. I have absolutely no problem thinking of lifelong human carnivoires suffering at 50-60 as their asshole rots out. Then comes the colostomy bag..... I just gotta thinking they were some of the guys/gals joking about how cute it is to sacrifice several animal's lives becuase they enjoy the taste; rationalize it as need. Aren't most serial killers those who enjoy killing animals as kids? Thngs that make ya go Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. If these people had to look in the face and pet these defenseless cretures, well, most would quit eating them. Fortunately slaughter hiuses are well locked and closed to the public, as that is their lifeline. If they offered tours they would lose a lot of business.

Lucky... 0 #124 February 14, 2008 Quote Quote Quote Please explain why not. I'm curious to hear this, too. Don't hold your breath for a reasonable response. IMO, a society that elected to opt out of meat eating for the sake of better health, cleaner environment, and less animal suffering would be taking a big step UP the "food chain". Esp considering the amount of resource that goes into meat. Clearing fields, growing corn, methane, etc, etc.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
