Me too. I have been a vegetarian for 20 years. I just cant bring myself to eat anything that once had a face and a heartbeat. I remember long ago eating a chicken leg, and thinking to myself “This was someone’s leg. There are veins and everything still on it.”
This is not funny at all. Now my kid can claim that he is growing spiritually by avoiding broccoli.I can relate…
After reading Lord of the and seeing how noble and magnificent the Ents were, and how they talk to trees and all green living things I can no longer stomach vegetables.
Thank God for meat!
Animal slaughter. That’s the key word. If an animal died through any of the means you listed, that’s not slaughter.
His point is that the practice is unethical even if pigs are killed painlessly.Well of course it’s unethical, have you seen how pig farmers treat and slaughter their pigs for food?
If it’s ethics you want why doesn’t this pig farmer find a painless way to kill an animal like how the Jews slaughter theirs, instead of just sending 150,000 volts to them with a rod until they die.
So What! He’s one pig farmer and it is only his opinion. Much like my opinion that animal activists are more concerned with the welfare of an animal than the welfare of a child.
Other animal advocates will disagree, but I don’t see a problem with eating animals who died of natural causes.
He isn’t the only farmer who feels this way, so maybe you should consider his perspective seriously.
Domestic animals that die of natural causes usually shouldn’t be eaten at all.
Maybe the reason why PETA euthanizes pets is because they eat them afterwards.
Yes, it’s a brutal world out there in the animal world, but why is that relevant to the question of how we should treat animals? It appears you think we should look to animal behavior for moral guidance.
Even if there are more farmers that feel this way, I’m sure it’s a vast minority. Maybe you should consider my perspective seriously. If not for deer meat my daughter would be dead.
First, I highly doubt your claim that deer meat was necessary to your daughter’s recovery. Second, even if it were true, that would only mean - at most - that eating deer was truly necessary for your daughter, which is very different than the situation of the vast majority of meat-eaters.
So now I’m a liar. Since I’ve already explained her situation to you in another thread, I want to thank you for proving that you think animals are more deserving that humans. :dts:
I didn’t say or imply you are a liar. Did you even consider putting her on a vegetarian or vegan diet? Did you do any thorough research into the matter about that alternative? If not, then it may well be that you overlooked a possibility that did not involve deer killing.
As an aside: what about the slaughter of the innocents in the womb? That is also done for profit, and for the sake of human convenience. Just talking about being consistent here.
