I wish they would quit wasting their time preaching about this stuff. No offense, but that's fairly narrow-minded. Do you mean to tell me that activists and groups who feel strongly about certain evils are attention-seekers? How does that make any sense? | ||

[Humanity] Fucking Veganism. Seriously. There are HUMAN BEINGS being treated worse than this around the world in 3rd world countries. And you're worried about some cows? Fuck you. User was warned for this post | ||

We're not herbivores, it's insanely unhealthy to go about not eating meat/dairy, and all those glorious foodstuffs. Not eating it is only harming yourself, which in turn not only makes yourself suffer (Isn't that what you're fighting against, suffering animals? Guess what, humans are animals, too) and when you suffer, it makes your friends and families suffer. Not eating meat isn't going to stop ANY of this at all. In fact, it's disrespectful to the animals themselves. Native Americans, you know those people known for how in tune they were to the planet and animals that walk upon it, they not only ate meat, but they wore leather, and they made weapons and tools made out of bones. Why did they do this? Because when an animal dies, they want to make sure that it doesn't die for no reason. If you stop eating animals, all that's going to happen is the meat that's produced has a higher chance of going bad, and the lives you're trying to protect are going to be wasted because you're too blind to see any of this. In my opinion, vegans are dicks. Ban me now. I don't want to browse this forum anymore. The fact that this much stupidity could be contained in such a small paragraph has caused me to lose all faith in this forum. | ||

Secondly, eating meat is a very basic human behavior. Mankind evolved to eat meat. We have canines for tearing flesh and a relatively small digestive tract which can digest meat and flesh easily but struggles to digest tough, plant material. We cannot produce many amino acids or vitamins because of our reliance on obtaining them from animal food sources. Sure, in today's world you can supplement or import exotic plants for consumption, but for human beings living on the Serengeti, we relied on meat to meet our biochemical inadequacy. | ||

And I don't eat meat or poultry often because it's too expensive to get stuff that isn't processed garbage, so if anything I'm closer to vegetarian than carnivore. That makes no sense. Closer to a vegetarian? Its not like being a vegetarian makes you a better human being: ascends you to a higher plane or something. Being a vegetarian just means that less animals die in the grand scheme. Being "more a vegetarian than a carnivore" doesn't mean shit. You're an omnivore. Being a carnivore doesn't make you lawful evil or any shit like that, and vegetarians aren't neutral good or anything. Your comment pisses me off. Being a vegetarian doesn't mean less animals die in the grand scheme of things. You're wrong. Supply and demand. Sure 1 person not buying meat might mean that there is no change in the amount of animals tortured and killed. But if 1% of the population doesn't buy meat? That's millions of animals being saved in a generation. 5% of the population could mean billions of animals that aren't raised solely to be tortured and killed. Do I have to explain to you that as a company meat producers will not make significantly more product than they can sell? It doesn't make business sense. It's wasted money. It puzzles me how you could blindly deny this logic. The pigs are alive and born way before the effect of any stand of vegetarianism is made. So if all of us stop eating meat and cause the meat market to plummet, a lot of pigs die either way, just that no one consumes them. In the long-run, it's a good idea, but with only a fraction eating meat, it just means pigs die, are not used and they don't produce as many pigs. The market doesn't shift its policies or values. Can you expand on this? You're saying that the market takes so long to shift, that even if a significant portion of the population decided not to buy meat it would take so long for the market to adjust that it doesn't really matter pigs die anyway? I don't understand. If we can agree that killing animals is fundamentally a bad thing, and we kill X animals per day as a species, as long as X becomes a smaller number over time, we're doing a good thing. So 50% of the population stops eating meat NOW. Sure X animals will continue to die for weeks, months, but then of course companies will have to halve their production or else go out of business. A good thing is done. So what are you saying? The fact that X won't change for a month means being vegetarian isn't worth it? You are presuming so many things that reexplaining what I'm saying is daunting and almost too irritating to do so. Reread the post and try to refrain from making so many implications. There's only one Waldo to find my statements. | ||

THEN FUCKING RESEARCH FOR ONE YOU RETARD. Whether youre right or not atleast make yourself appear slightly better than an outright douche Jesus Now thats over, I enjoy meat and dairy but I always buy products where I know the animals have been treated well and have lived and been killed in a humane way. Not because I feel guilty or anything, just respect for another organism Humans on a mass scale need and want variety in their diet, including meat. Since humans are on the top of the food chain, largely due to our relative intelligence, we have the luxury of choosing our meat But we should also employ our intelligence and evolved ethics and philosophy to atleast show restraint and not go back to just being barbaric eaters in the wild but on a mass scale. We can have infinate and strangling political correctness to enforce 'respect' and 'tolerance' on a human society but we still just stab animals in the neck with a knife? Come on And yea I know humans seem to be split into various groups, namely the mentally backward and the mentally forward, but thats just how it is. Freak cases of individual animal cruelty like punching a calf isnt normal, the guy that did it should be in a mental hospital IMO | ||

You do realize that swaying one person of your views isn't going to change much and even then, I'm sure the video would do a better job and either hardening his views or shocking him to your logic. These topics always drag out aggressiveness. It's like religion all over again. | ||

"Farm animals feel pain just like your puppy does"!?! Well duh! Pain is the main signal helping animals identify things that are not good for their survival. What's your point you silly video? Seriously, this video probably aims to evoke emotional reaction instead of rational reaction. That doesn't help viewers see the real problem. Unnecessarily violence and sadism is not good. I'm also concerned about the skin diseases, since it's not healthy to eat sick animals. | ||

As she pounces on her prey and grasps along the neck to drag the beast down to the ground. She holds the throat of the animal bleeding and suffocating it to death. Sometimes when the animal is not dead the pack still eats the still breathing animals body causing it agonizing pain. The lions then leave the carcass that still has meat, bone, fat, hide and other usable products. Only some of which is picked clean by scavengers. The bones then deteriorate into the ground to fuel the earth with more elements. Fucking majestic and deep. Humans kill animals and use the meat, hide, bones, and fat in products to feed and clothe humans. The rest is either burned or dumped to return to the earth. Fucking monsters. See the point im trying to make here? | ||
