The big question is rather, by buying meat you actually support this industry, is that something you agree with, is it right? without us buyers, it wouldnt exist. I think about that alot. | ||

I still eat milk, eggs, and meat. But I'm not proud of it. | ||

Obviously you can't wait 10+ years for animals to die to run a business. To Phan, I think too many people get caught up in the fallacy that 'natural' = good. Many 'natural' things are horrible for your health, in fact, most things that are natural are. If most things natural were so good, then our early ancestors would have been much better off, sadly they weren't. | ||

Of course I don't really care too much for animal welfare. Sure having animals (ie saving them from extinction, whatnot) are nice, but needs of humans > needs of animals. This video doesn't bother me at all. | ||

The world is a cruel place, just watch some nature documentaries if you don't already realise the reality of life. Cute little seals murder and eat fish alive, oh noes~~ | ||

Nobody is discussing the top of the foodchain, the fact we eat meat doesnt mean we have to make the annimal suffer for it entire life only to cut expenses, animals MUST be treated with dignity and minimizing pain. | ||

Do you realize the whole point of the animals existence is to die and for us to eat them? This is called nature. Food is, yes a business. Do I want to spend 1.50$ for that LB. of meat, or do I want to spend 1.35$ for that LB. of meat. Is it feasible for small businesses (farmers), to increase costs? Pets and wild animals that aren't being hunted should be treated fairly and justly. Animals bred to be food, or those that are hunted, are fair game for the rules of conducting business. | ||

Especially the money part. Meat is expensive enough already. | ||

The increase of business is going to increase the cost to the consumer. Less fortunate people, and charitable entities costs will be increased. They will not be able to purchase as much food as they once could have. In effect, you put the lives of animals who are bred to be killed for food, above human consumption, hunger, and availability of food supply. Even if its 1/2 lb less food a week, its still less food that they could purchase. In the end its called nature. It all depends what you cherish more, animals or humanity. | ||
