Eating Animals

[Cin]

I see it as this. If were meant to be vegetarians how come our body can process both Plant and Meat, the latter better. (We're probably less efficient than horses at digesting plant matter, and they're not very good at it) If we were meant to be vegetarians why did we even develop to meat eat? See it as this we all came from the same organisms so basically we're all related.

 

Arguments on diseases things meat give you, remember poisonous plants?

 

Cannibal - A person who eats the flesh of human beings. An animals that eats the flesh of its own species.

(Source: Oxford Dictionary)

 

In fact Monkeys probably show this behavior more than us. (A few tribes may still practice this however), only tribes (with little experience of the outside world) and well frankly sick people practice Cannibalism.

 

On the global warming part....fact is Cows are very polluting animals since there digestion method produces alot of Methane....think about it as this for both methods you speak off guess what happens FORESTS GET CUT DOWN, so either way GW worsens.

[Willieh]

Okay guys. Let me explain one quick thing:

 

I agree with the people who eat meat. But don't pull out the global warming card please.

 

Vegetarians may kill off some plants, but meat production alone produces more of a carbon footprint than all the automotive transportation in the world.

 

Otherwise, I agree with you all.

(the meat-eaters I mean.)

Global Warming was never an issue in this debate. I think that it is great for my side that meat production gives off pollution, but I am not going to use that. Cuz that is not what this debate is really about.

Krow, Dark already gave the wrong defintion for cannibal so consider being stupid already done. And still denies he's wrong.

 

Humans = Mammals = ANIMALS therefore Humans are animals. What you say is Animals can eat animals....but humans who are also animals cannot eat animals?!

 

Snake eats Snake -> Cannibalism? (Nope usually doesn't occur with the same species, genus or even family. E.g Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake (Viperidae, Crotalus adamanteus), eats a Albino Burmese Python (Pythonidae, Python molurus bivittatus) (not that it ever would). adamanteus and molurus bivittatus aren't the same species there its not Cannabalism)

Monkey eats Monkey -> Can be Cannibalism (because this can happen within a troop)

Human eats Cow -> =/= Cannablism

If we all agreed on your definition on cannibalism and then acted up on it (aka not doing it), you've wiped out anything above the first consumer on the food chain, well done. Time for rabbits to take over the world.

 

Right lets get this whole species thing right. Never argue with someone who did Biology to A Level

Here is the classification process: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, species

Cow: Bovinae (One Of Many)

Human: Homo Sapien Sapien

We're not in the same Genus, therefore cannot be the same species, therefore eating a cow isn't cannabilism. You definition has been buried 6 foot under.

 

Eatings eggs is basically, causing the death of animal, that could have become a chicken, but because it was gonna be sold to people to eat and therefore never incubated. My old Biology teacher ended up with a fertllized egg, and gave her parents the chick to look after. Why would the farmers waste all that money checking the eggs?

Great point.

 

Dark, seriously, I'd just give in now before you make yourself look anymore stupid >.<

 

You do understand that the sides are a tad imbalanced?

 

 

For Non-Meat: [Dark]

 

For Meat: The rest of YCM.

 

 

Get the picture? ^_^

Survival of the Fittiest

...enough say...

 

If that was true, then more than half of the population of the United States and other first world countries would be dead by now.

Had the Holocaust targeted Mormans, I would be a Neo-Nazi.

 

Killing is, by no means, an injustice. Eating the animals is the questionable part of this, and it just depends on what your dietary needs are. People who are active need meat and Amino acids to keep themselves sustained, but less active people don't need to eat as much meat because if its not processed, its really not going to do much for you.

Depending on the standards you are setting.

On another note, people are designed to eat meat.

 

We wouldn't have incisors if we were meant to just eat plants. :|

[bury the year]

I don't mind, as long as it still not animal-shaped.

[~Shore]

yes, because if we didn't there would be no steak, bacon or burgers and then I would die. but people shouldn't kill and eat monkeys. thats just screwed up and they look so human (i read about it in national geographic

[Twilight Star]

We have incisors, or whatever you said? I really don't care about that. Math chart = win.

 

Tigers + Claws + Instincts + Sense of Smell = Meat Eater

 

Humans + No Claws + Little Instincts + Little Sense of Smell =/= Meat Eater

 

EDIT: This was my opinion, and it was a chart in no way. Even though I occasionally eat chicken, I still feel it is a wrong to justice. I really take no side in this. =(

[Monkey]

People who eat only vegetables are doing the same damage as people eating meats, first of all. Vegetarians are depriving themselves of protein. I realize vegetarians are pro-life and such because they don't feel right eating another animal, but we (humans) need meat, it's the way our bodies were created.

[Dark]

If we need protein so much, why are there other organic materials that contain protein?

 

They are, but not limited to...

 

-Eggs

-And Egg-ByProduct

-Beans

-Pinto, Black Beans

-Egg Materials

 

If we NEEDED meat, none of these items would exsist.

[Skuldur]

Dark if you eat eggs you're not a vegetarian

 

 

–noun 1. a person who does not eat or does not believe in eating meat' date=' fish, fowl, or, in some cases, [b']any food derived from animals, as eggs or cheese,[/b] but subsists on vegetables, fruits, nuts, grain, etc.

–adjective 2. of or pertaining to vegetarianism or vegetarians.

3. devoted to or advocating this practice.

4. consisting solely of vegetables: vegetarian vegetable soup

 

read that

Since we're doing math charts:

 

Human + Incisors + Superior intelligence + Molars + Instincts + Conciense + Decision Making Skills = Omnivore/Vegiterian/Meat Eater depending on which you'd rather be.

Please include humans as animals when discussing this people. We are in the animal kingdom or something.

Yes. But we are also of a different classification of animal. We are homosapiens, which is not the same thing as a dog because a dog can't come up with a mathematical equation, after dissecting one of it's kind, to determine the thought process of it's species.

Nor can a rat. But do we clasify Tree's as different types of plates as seaweed?

Sea weed is actually a member of the algae family.

 

Where as trees are not.

Off topic: Plants do scream and slightly shake when they are plucked or cut. Before they are injured they have a change in their aurora. Scientists have monitored and caught this in photographs and high sensory sound tapes.

 

On topic: Killing animals is like hurting plants for there fruit/vegetables

You forgot this part:

"Unfortunately plants must sometimes be pruned or cut. But it does make you wonder what it sounds like when you mow the yard!

But you're right. Plants do "scream."

 

It kind of makes me feel like a dick whenever I eat a salad. Lol.

Lol. I really don't care. It was born to be my food, that is all

[kungfuactionjesus]

We should eat animals. They are actually humans' main food source and we cant get all our nutrients off of fish and plants.

Bolded Statement: No, not really. If meat was our main food source, wouldn't everyone in the world be fat? Eating one of those steak thingies is equvilant or more than eating 12 inches of a Subway sub. And no, we cannot get all of our nutreients from fish. Plants, no. Plants lack protein and fish lack fruit and vegetables.
