I mentioned that earlier in the thread (my comments got ignored)..................Plants are living creatures too. So, you might as well stop eating and start drinking water for the remainder of your days...................
But I know I feel better as a person knowing that today, I made a compassionate choice and consumed nothing that had to give its life to nourish me.

And by eating plants and veggies, aren't you depriving animals of their natural diets? :laugh:0

All I know is that if a billboard has the ability to make you feel better or worse about yourself, you've got MUCH bigger issues on your plate than being overweight.
It certainly doesn't. But if you are trying to turn my head yelling FAT *kitten* will work-but will it change my way of thinking??
Isn't the idea to help us understand and make better choices?
IDK....maybe I am missing something here.
PETA is about getting the information out there in whatever fashion they deem appropriate. Feelings are of no concern to PETA - atleast not those of other humans.
Most PETA supporters are whackjobs who believe riding a horse is evil...
Yet they have no problem euthanizing cats and dogs instead of spending money to feed them and find them loving homes? :huh:
Link me up with this info please.

AshBear, hey its cool. I'm starting my own campaign. Check out my signature, jump on board. Everyone is doing it.
LMAO. Dude. Love it. But if humans are animals, is eating a Vegan still saving an animal? :laugh:
Humans are not animals. But that's another thread that could possibly lead to getting locked because someone will get their panties in a twist and report it to Mike.0 -
I'd like to see a human hunt an animal with their bare hands and teeth
There's more to us than hands and teeth.
Btw, do you fly or drive a car? I'm assuming not one of those:

hahahahaha, oh man, I can't believe we are debating the bible now. I'm no bible scholar here, but lets look at the obvious evidence cause there was a whole lotta animal killin' going on.
Lets see....
Old Testament:
Animal Scarifices as an offering to God, nuff said
New Testament
Jesus hung out with fisherman (he must have been turning a blind eye)
Jesus fed the 5,000 WITH FISH (it must have been tofu based fish?)
The Last Supper, I'm assuming some animals were involved... I doubt it was bread and vegan snacks
Case-closed, smartasses0 -
Anyone ever see the South park episode where they make fun of PETA? It was hilarious! :laugh:0

Well, I'll tell ya this. God created man and put him over all other creation. So that makes us above animals. He also gave us permission to eat meat so by golly I'm gonna eat me some meat! Hi Amylynne 26. :bigsmile:
And furthermore, if it came to rescuing a human or my cats first from a burning building, I'm going for the human first. Sorry cats but you'd better either find your way to safety or be where I can easily find you.
LOL please do your research on the bible before getting into this topic. God gave us dominion over the animals yes, but he did not give us permission to eat meat. He allowed Noah to eat meat during the flood when nothing else was available, but later condemned the consumption of meat. If I had my trusty ol' Bible handy, I'd learn ya real good, but alas, it is at home.
This is getting incredibly lame.
LOL Well I just happen to have my Bible at work with me. When you get home you might want to read Romans chapter 14. Maybe you should be the one doing some research on the Bible.0 -

They had lamb at the Last Supper.
Priests would eat the fatty parts of the sacrifices.
hell yeah, Lamb is good. Even Muslims do. Thats good eatin. I think we've come up with something.....peace in the middle east? via the consuming of awesome lamb parts.
Offensive? Hell no. Effective...oh yeah.0 -

That depends on whether or not we are talking from a scientific definition or a religious definition.It is true that humans differ from other animals in terms of intelligence. However, from a biological perspective, humans are classified as animals! Why does this bother people, and why do people take great measures to prove that they are not animals? If you think about it, it is only a classification system anyway. It is a biological classification system designed to classify any living organism it encounters into groups according to the organism's characteristics. Therefore, biologically we are members of the Animalia Kingdom; we are animals (see definition 1 later in this document). Biblically, the word animal was used in a way that made distinctions between humans and other organisms (see definition 2).
**********************************************
Webster's New Universal Unabridged Dictionary:
animal:
1. any member of the kingdom Animalia, comprising multicellular organisms that have a well-defined shape and usually limited growth, can move voluntarily, actively acquire food and digest it internally, and have sensory and nervous systems that allow them to respond rapidly to stimuli: some classification schemes also include protozoa and certain other single-celled eukaryotes that have motility and animal like nutrition modes.
2. any such living thing other than a human being.0 -

Oh shoot - if we drank water, wouldn't we be killing the planet and therefore killing animals and humankind? How's that for cruelty?I mentioned that earlier in the thread (my comments got ignored)..................Plants are living creatures too. So, you might as well stop eating and start drinking water for the remainder of your days...................

If you come back to the thread you'll find several Biblical references that prove you wrong. But another clear case for humans being meat eaters is simply this: Our eyes are in the front of our heads and we have canine teeth. Those are the features of a hunter, not a plant eater.
I think she went home to get her trusty Bible so she could learn me real good. :bigsmile:0 -
I am so glad I came here today sos I could be learned.
I have no greater pull towards being a vegetarian now than I did this morning. Isn't that the purpose of someone making their arguement, to lure them into their way of thinking.
Well I think I am having chicken for dinner!

OH OK!! So YOU think the billboard is stupid too. I mis understood.
Yes, the billboard is ridiculous. Its PETA, for crying outloud. They put naked women in body paint on the street... Its all for shock value. It gets them noticed
If they put a piglet with big round eyes on the billboard promoting vegetarianism, how many would notice?
My beef (pardon the pun) was with the first statement I quoted in my original reply
My beef is your decision to twist what I was saying into something else.0 -

I wonder how many PETA supporters out there own pets not rescued from a shelter or something along those lines. Breeding animals just to take a baby from it's mom so you can have a cute cuddly critter seems just as bad. Did anyone ask the mom if it was cool?
I don't think you should be judging just PETA supporters on this one. It's not that you're taking a puppy away from its mother, its that by not rescuing an animal from a shelter and buying a puppy you will support a cycle of breeding more animals while more pets die in shelters. It's an obvious thing that everyone who cares about animals should do. ADOPT A PET.
Honestly I'm just playing devil's advocate. I don't judge one way or another. I'd smash someone in the face with a 2x4 if witnessed them abusing an animal but I'm not going to support a organization that is derogatory toward anyone just to make a point either.
eating meat is animal abuse
So you're saying we should protect prey animals from their predators?
I'm saying that deliberately breeding animals to be eaten is animal abuse.
Ah.. got it. So as long as I hunt my own food in the wild it's cool?
I'd like to see a human hunt an animal with their bare hands and teeth
That's what makes us the higher animals. We hunt using tools unlike other animals. Our intellect is unique in the animal kingdom.0
