Hell ya. And tasty. I eat meat everyday. Usually in the form of sandwich meat.
meat is the main thing i eat i don’t see anything wrong with killing animals if we don’t do it another animal will
I wish I could hunt for meat.
fly a spear right through a zebra and tear into my prey.

Everything kills everything else. I find it an anomaly that humans have negative responses when killing another animal and especially humans. The hawks have no problem killing the rabbit. The cheetah has no problem killing the gazelle. Monkeys even fight one another for territory and cannibalize the loser. Humans r the only animals that question killing. We r also one of the only animals that kill for reasons other then food.
When u think about it. Even if ur vegan arent u killing the plants u eat?
I don’t hunt for my food but I love meat, especially chicken and turkey.
We all used to be Hunters and Gatherers.
I guess in a way I’m a hypocrite because I love meat but I couldn’t kill another animal.
Vegans are killing plant life, another life form.
I believe that vegetation/trees have a life force or soul of their own.
meat eating itself doesn’t bother me… hell hunting for food bothers me much less than raising animals for long periods gaining their trust… then bam slaughter house… so be glad im not in charge of our meat farms… they would be pets in a week… hunting for trophy bothers me as much as the disconnect I have from my meat… atleast wild prey has a chance to get away those cows were born to be burgers… said the hypocrip who loves meat and actually finds cows to be annoying…
I’ll say it again, if Gawd didn’t want us to eat animals, he wouldn’t have made them so tasty.
I heard we are equal in taste to some of the more tasty animals… don’t know if its true but due to our diets we may be the most tasty on the planet… we just have thumbs and tool making abilities… but If the gawds didn’t want us to eat other things they should have gave us a different manner to nourish… my acidic gut and lack of solar energy gathering abilities kinda shows we evolved for and from the eating of other living things…
I eat meat, but I feel highly uncomfortable about it.
What the hell is a “leading thinker?” Somebody who wants to lead you? (Not that I disagree with them).
I guess an “intellectual” who is good at pontificating about such matters.
Having looked at the speakers chosen and the stances they took it didn’t seem a very balanced group. It was very much geared to a “meat eating is bad” position.
Trigger Warning, disturbing images
We are not the only animals who kill for reasons other than food. Territory and mates and social status are reasons why many other animals will kill their own kind.
I think that it is embarrassing for humankind to be compared to the natural world,
humanity is supposed to be more advanced and civilized. @Hedgehog
I think we like to forget how similar we are, though. We like to forget that much of what we do under the guise of civilization is, in fact, prompted by biological survival instincts. On the other hand, what bothers me is when animals are promoted as more kind and gentle than humanity. Nature is brutal.
All kinds of things are complicated by our over-thinking brains.
I think it’s a curious thing called conscience that asks if it is right to do something like kill animals for their meat.
It’s possible to still eat their meat after they’ve passed naturally, but when conscience begs us to stop doing what we’re doing, maybe there’s something more to it?
Call it “divine intervention” when a person suddenly, in the moment before striking someone or something, decides not to and is beside himself. It’s happened.
I know Nature is cruel, but it has its moments too…Like that article I read of a pack of lions protecting a wounded fox rather than killing it.
It probably seems boring to the world to think we’d give up eating meat or at least consume it less, which is why they’re reluctant to make that change.
As a species that likes to pretend it thinks it should know that there are alternatives to senseless slaughter of animals for eating. Now were at a point where it isn’t an issue of survival but luxury. It’s not even a great luxury to me anyway. Engaging the mind in activities is more rewarding and is the center of our experience more-so than eating.
Stupid comparison. Cheetahs don’t feel remorse after killing a gazelle, let’s adopt also licking clean the anuses of our children cuz that’s what these animals do. Birds throw out the weaker offspring from the nest to make room for the stronger ones, let’s also start killing the weaker children who are not as smart/strong.
Do you really get your habits from wildlife or are you only justifying causing suffering in this instance and in every other aspect don’t do what animals in the wild do? Also I have never felt the need to catch a squirrel or a rabbit and eat it. Not even a pig, chicken or a cow, whereas I’m pretty sure the carnivorous animals do.
Big difference with the plants, they don’t feel, they don’t have central nervous systems.
Killings are the least of the crimes humans perpetrate against animals, their miserable lives in factory farms are the real crime. You probably haven’t eaten much meat that wasn’t “crazy meat”, that means that by the time the animals are slaughtered they have gone crazy from the stress and unnatural living conditions. That’s why the pigs get their teeth pulled and chicken their beaks trimmed with extreme heat( both without anesthesia obv.), that’s done so the animals that go crazy(which almost all do) wouldn’t be able to kill each other in factory farms, that doesn’t mean they don’t hurt each other substantially.
Thought experiment: a person is hanging from a hook and next to it a pig. The butcher comes with a big knife and slices open the neck of the person and also the pig. There is an electrical impulse sent to the brain of the person trough nerves, which the brain interprets. The body is convulsing because of the pain and also there will noise made. Either the electrical impulse sent to the brain of the pig or the way the pigs brains interprets it has to be something like 1:10 000 of what the person feels, because if you wouldn’t eat the meat of a person and would the meat of the pig that is the only way you could justify it. Now do you really believe that nature somehow made the pig’s feelings 10 000 times less than the humans? The mammalian brains are extremely similar, both when observed structurally and how they function. All the wonder drugs people on this forum take were first tested on animals. Why would testing a drug on a rat be very useful if it’s functioning is so different?
