Eating Animals

[Luna Lovegood]

Vegemites Unite!

 

Animals = Animal Kingdom = Humans

 

I just proved that non-vegimites are a form of cannabals. I guess I should run away fast!

 

Vegimite out!

I thought I established that awhile ago. We are eating things of the same kingdom as us. Plus, you are killing a living object. Tomorrow, I will take one of you to a slaughter-house, chop your neck off, and serve you to some fat people.

[Sammidysam]

Fish is a animal, and you only eat it if you are a Pescatarian(only eat fish for meat). I hate seafood, so I might be part Vegetarian, but I eat Chicken and Turkey a lot, so I don't know what I am, Samitarian?

[Luna Lovegood]

Good plan Dark. But not a Vegimite, k?

[Skuldur]

Plants are living objects too [Dark]. You are also killing a living object.

[Luna Lovegood]

Yes, but plants have less feelings. They do not consiously think. But yes, it is wrong, but without us eating plants, we would die.

They die god d*mn Vegimite. I like meat, not seafood [except sushi].

[/quote']Plants have feelings, they're not dead. Without plants alive and thinking, we would be dead. Plants can stay in our environment, but we can find new ways of paper and veggies so we don't kill plants. Think of the possibilities.

This is the stupidest statement I've ever read.

 

Animals eat other animals, but that doesn't mean they're cannibals. Because they don't eat animals of the same SPECIES. Humans do not eat other humans, therefore we are not cannibals. Well....most of us anyway.

 

Lion eating an antelope ≠ Cannibalism

Human eating cow = Cannibalism?

 

That's basically what you're trying to say.

 

If you want to be a vegetarian, fine. That's your decision. But don't try to call the rest of us cannibals. =)

[/quote']Vegetarians just are nothing special. They just don't eat meat. You don't have to be personal and try to make people not eat animals... I am considering to Dark. Maybe about 50 people in the world are cannibals, but I am not one. Period.

Because I think someone has posted it before, we are similar, and many more things.

[Sammidysam]

It also didn't surprise me... I know, you two are usually together.

[Dark]

OK, off topic, peoplez. Anyways, give me 3 pros of being cannibalisticomnivore over being a vegemite. I can give 3 cons.

 

1.) Higher incline towards diseases, some being fatal.

2.) Higher intake of cholesterol and fat.

3.) You are killing a living organism... thing.

 

And last time I will say this. I will feed you mud, take you to a slaughterhouse, chop your neck off, spray you with some antibacterial crap, put you in plastic wrap, ship you to a store, cook you and feed you to some fat Americans. You happy with that?

[Larxene]

Well, just a few things...

 

First of all, being an omnivore gives you a much more balanced diet. Eating meat doesn't make you fat, or give you diseases unless it's the ONLY THING YOU EAT.

 

I eat meat, and I'm actually underweight, and I almost never get sick.

 

And as for eating another living organism, once again, plants are alive too. You obviously don't care, but I'm pointing it out. Also, animals eat other animals. It's a fact of life. You'll never find a lion who's a vegetarian.

I wouldn't feel what comes after that, making it irrelevant. It's only dismembering a corpse I no longer claim consciousness to. Also, most slaughter animals are more well kept than being fed mud. They're given basic requirements, like grass, a trough full of sh*t if they happen to be of a Pig nature, and so forth. So please, buddy, stop presenting your facts so narrow-mindlessly and wrong.

 

Also, as Clariex (Don't worry, I'll actually tell you your new name is a complete load.) said, being an omnivore can provide more stability than being strictly biased to one food source or another.

 

You see Dark, here's were your point-of-view is struggling to excel. You constantly ignore the fact that being an omnivore is a neutral way to live, and both carnivore and herbivore aren't. Arguing/Debating against a neutral perspective is pretty damn foolish, considering it co-exists with yours. Meat eating IS only negative in mass-amounts, as well as eating objects of a natural nature, although the latter is presumably significantly less. (.. Yeah. Natural nature. O_o.). While consumed within proportion of one another, you garner benefit from the positive's of both.

 

And. It seems your main problem seems to be the lack of dignity given to animals in the way we process them. That the way they're slaughtered, or at-least how you think they're slaughtered, is wrong. That human's do so out of tyranny, being a monarchic specie and so on. Well. This may be considered controversial, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say people's approach to living thing's is strictly based upon their race. Instinctively speaking, you have more cause to trust what you're visually related to as apposed to trusting something you're not. As such, human's will continue to subjectively kill, and then harvest, what isn't human.

 

You're supporting the use of nature?

 

And yet, killing is considered to be fundamentally natural.

Even though you crossed Canabalistic out it was still typed to incite opinion. Just accept that your view of Canabalism couldn't be more wrong if you tried.

 

Shanoa is right on the organisms part, just think how many insects and bacteria had to die when your fruit and vegetables (unless they're organic or GM) are sprayed with herbicides and pesticides, also about how much damage that does to the river system. And how many small animals may die during harvests (such as Dormice) and then how much the increase in demand has done in damage to the Amazon.

 

Being vegetarian unless you eat Organic still means animals die, Carnivore (Humans really for this example) take something that most of the time doesn't hugely impact alot of animals above it as domestic animals unless in remote areas do not really impact on food chains. (In remote areas cattle may become prey animals), vegetarians affect from the bottom of the food chain up (and if the pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers (non-organic) get into the river system you done ALOT of damage). As you can see being a vegetarian isn't exactly guilt free.

 

Another thing is, some countries have minimum standards animals should be kept in and farmers who disobey are dealt with heavily, they aren't forced to grow at a rate faster than 'natural' like plants are.

omg Dark, I knew you weren't much of a debater from the YCM hotel club, but this is a new low

 

look, if your an omnivore or a vegetarian, you have to eat other living things and you have to eat well. Some people don't want to kill animals so they don't eat them, thats their business. Some people eat animals because they're nourishing and they taste good. Thats they're business.I couldn't care less what drives a vegetarian to be a vegetarian, because as long as I'm not shoving meat down their throat and as long as they're not keeping me from my meat, its not my problem. Its like with religion, I don't mind religious people, but I do mind missionaries knocking at my door. Vegetarianism is a belief, and I don't believe that it is wrong to kill other animals, just like I don't believe its wrong to work on sundays or say the Lord's name in vain. Its none of your business if I eat animals or not, if you don't want to, then fine, don't, but seriously, don't call me a cannibal or tell me I'm wrong to enjoy a good burger or steak, because each of us has our own personal morality, and mine is a bit more forgiving than yours in this regard.

amazing somebody actually posted the best comment to finally close the topic. I have to agree with you MasterKCatmaster. I am the same in a way. I am not a vegetarian nor do I care about vegtarians unless they nock on my door saying I shouldnt eat meat either. we need the protein from meat. vegetarians dont get off so lucky when they dont eat meat.

Actually you'd be surprised if you go buy vegetarian meals to discovered how much fat/protein are in them these days

I'm guessing they are in the negative zone.
