With even a weekend of preparation a human can pretty much own any animals (okay, not counting those rare animals or undersea ones that we can't get to)

By the way why is vegetarianism a solution for this? a person who fights for better treatment of animals is more effective than a vegetarian imo.


But isn't it a bit ironic to be fighting for better treatment of animals and eating them at the same time? I mean, you're pretty much supporting the "industry" by playing along. Besides I don't see many of the people who say they'd like better treatment of animals actually do anything about it, myself included.

I was hooked on straight edge some years back and was vegetarian for a while. I'm not anymore (actually this was like 10 years ago), but I still pretty much sympathize with a vegetarian lifestyle, mainly for the suffering and often barbaric treatment of animals.

Then again, most of the time I don't really have the time to think about it because of the hassles of daily life and the constant stream of information bombarding us all. It's hard to focus on a single issue, no matter how important it is.

No.


Ok, thanks for elaborating.

What I mean is that it seems more like something you'd think in order to have a better conscience, rather than actually caring about the animals.


Why do I need to elaborate? It isn't ironic. Feel free to look up what ironic means.
The number you have dialed is out of porkchops.

I was gonna be a vegetarian, but House, M.D. said meat makes you manly or something.

But mostly, vegetarians just piss me off.

Travis, that's a fact, you human hating bastard

I don't know what's with this animal loving stuff lately...so much fucking attention to animals, instead of aiding poor countries, helping HUMANS.

Poll Time

[image loading]

Poll: Would you kill 100 chimps with your bear hands to save 1 human life?
(Vote): Yes I would, 1 human person is more valuable than 100 animals
(Vote): No, humans and animals are equally valuable



You realize that murdering 1 human to save 100 million ones is just as bad as just murdering 1 human.



Lets say you had a helicopter hovering really high over some large city with millions of people in it. On the copter you have a nuke and a person. You are not there. You can push a button to drop the nuke on the city or you can let it blow up in the air saving most of the people in the city. Would you honestly save the person up on the copter?

Trading life is a good deal when you don't have any other options, it is just that people see the consequences strangely.

If I say:
"Kill one person to save a million" many will hesitate since they feel that killing is bad, but if we instead say:
"Kill a million to save one person" then everyone will agree that it is wrong, but in essence they are exactly the same thing, just reversed.

As for meat, the energy requirement of a humans food intake is really really small compared to the energy requirement for an average humans lifestyle, eating meat or not barely makes a difference. The price on products correlate really well with how much those products drains the energy of the earth, so the best way to save the environment is to stop buying things, not having a car and live in a small apartment, but you will not do that since it would change your lifestyle too much but it would make a much bigger difference for the world than you stopping eating meat.

Like, you don't spend your money on meat, then you spend it on other things which is hazardous for the environment.

As for the ethical parts about it, I don't see the difference between that and humans exterminating rats for convenience. Of course when exterminating rats, hunting etc we have laws that it is forbidden to cause unnecessary pain, just like we have such laws for the livestock animals. If livestock are treated badly you should attack those who treats them badly, you got every right on your side doing that, however since we have those laws it is just natural for a meat eater to assume that those laws are followed.

It is like, a Robber took a stereo system from someone and then sold it to a shop, should we blame the shop for accessory to robbing just because he helped the robber even though he had no idea of what happened?

Most animals are treated decently, just because some aren't doesn't mean that we should condemn the whole industry.

Klockan3, you don't understand.

First off, if someone is trying to kill another person and the only way to stop him from doing that is to kill him then of course that is the only thing you can do.

I also didn't say 1 is a bigger number than 100 million. If either one person has to die or 100 million and you have to make a decision then it's obvious what to pick.

But murdering 1 person is that what it is, regardless of the excuse. If someone tells me to either murder 1 person or he will murder 100 million then I won't do it, obviously.

If someone does, how is that less bad than any other murder? Extenuating circumstances, sure. But that doesn't take away your responsibility.


Also all your other arguments against vegetarianism are trash. But it's more pointless to debate that than it is to debate with creationists.

There is pretty much reasonable consensus on it by those that have put thought into the issue.

As for 1 vs 1 mil. Doesn't that make you a murderer of 100 million people then?

Obviously not.

Say I am an organ donor with a complete set of healthy organs. Say there are several people that die without a donor organ.
You could you kill me, so that my organs can be used to save other people. If you don't, does that make you a murderer of those that would die without my organs?

It's 1 life vs quite a few; heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc.

That doesn't make you less full of shit. I do agree that the murder is murder no matter the context. If we cannot give life willingly, we should not take it.

But going as far as saying you wouldn't kill someone that, if let alive will kill millions is bullshit. And millions is just a big number. Let's assume a serial killer will kill all the members of your family, all your friends, all the persons you are attached to. And if the only way to stop him were to kill him you bravely say you wouldn't. That makes you full of shit in my book.

FirstBorn, I didn't say that.

Learn to read.


Also, funny that you think your argument is going to be stronger if a serial killer is to kill people I know rather than random people. Haha.

so that gives the humanity the right to torture animals for consumption? you must be fucked in the brain to think that.

We being 'superior' to the animals would mean we would treat them fairly, not abuse them for the sole purpose of consumption.

actually i think you're just trolling if you cant feel a little empathy. I despise people who belive them superior to other beings. It's just the same shit the nazi did. Was not the arian race superior to everything? Would you be raising latin american people for food consumption because they're are inferior (just as an example of arian race being superior)?

That's besides the point.

Unless you really believe the lives of people that I happen to know are somehow more valuable than the lives of everyone else on this planet.

[edit]

lol you finally realized how bad you arguments are so you remove them. And then you edit in that? Shameful.

That's different because it's their fault they need an organ donor, you shouldn't have to give up your organs for someone else because their body is broken.

The people who are having a bomb dropped on them have nothing relating them to having a bomb dropped on them, and neither does the person who is sacrificing their life.

Now, to the people stating that vegetarianism is more effecient? You realize that if we were to go completely vegeterian, we would have to use even MORE deforestation and we would also have a huge problem on our hands? When you say sentient beings learn to make the decision of being vegetarian or not, you're applying the knowledge of 'i think it's more effecient to do it this way'. Which it is. In a small scale, highly developed country. In the mass production market, there is no way it would be more effecient. At least, not from the chart and graph predictions that I have seen.

lol clearly if people eat less meat then we will need less livestock. since livestock dont consume any crops at all we will definitely need to cut down forests to grow more crops. fuck vegetarianism when we have cow and pigs and sheep that grow for free without even being fed!!!!!



Yeah totally. You didn't even read my post at all. Pound for pound, yes, Meat is more ineffecient that vegetables/wheat/other crops. But do you really think that if everyone went vegeterian, we could feed the world (Or hell, a country) based on the crops alone and the buildings where cows are 'farmed'?

Be serious.

EDIT: Cows aren't grown :S

I have really no idea what you are trying to argue here. Are you trying to say that if we try to grow all crops rather than growing all livestock we will not be able to feed everyone?

Well once you die of natural causes you can still donate a good amount.

Again the problem is we don't see animals in the same light as you, and again this is comparison between animals and humans, not humans and humans.
