I love the self-righteousness in this thread

"Bash anyone who wants to eat meat"

"Bash anyone who believes in religion"

"All of my personal believes are perfectly fine and there is absolutely nothing wrong with my mentality. Its everybody else who is crazy!"

I wasn't denying your beliefs or "bashing" anyone about it. My beliefs are my own and if you believe in god, eating animals or so forth go right ahead.

The bible? The bible is a joke. Saying that animals are slaves of men because the bible says so is like saying women will always be inferior and are the reason sin exists.

At least I can sleep a little better knowing someone else thinks the bible is a joke.

The bible is a joke IMO. Shrug.
People here are making jokes about the OP and sniding about how animals are so tasty ect. Cool, we get theyre tasty but this is not what the thread is about. Is that ignorance or just stupidity?

I would add to your animal cruelty list catching and releasing fish for sport-if they are too mall to be a legal catch, O.K,. but otherwise, NO, just cruel.

I am TOTALLY on the same boat with you girl!! Like, COMPLETELY.

And everyone says that animals are part of the food chain... but...
1. If you look at a human's body vs. a carnivore's body (an animal that is SUPPOSED to eat other animals) we are not equipped to eat meat... much longer intestinal tract... no canines (don't give me the crap about our 'canines' --- REAL flesh-eating canines do just that -- rip through raw skin and flesh and muscle. Try that with a human's puny 'canines', won't work), no claws, etc...

2. EITHER WAY, if we WERE supposed to eat animals that in no way excuses us from torturing them as we do. It's horrendous.

And anyone who is using the bible as their excuse... unless you're willing to follow EVERYTHING ELSE the bible tells you to then don't even go there. Besides, the most famous phrases from the bible are "Love thy neighbor" and "Thou shalt not kill."

What I really hate is these people who think animal cruelty toward cats/dogs/horses is absolutely terrible but when it comes to chickens/cows/things we eat it's okay
If you're against the slaughter of horses you should DEFINITELY be vegan... even if you're against animal cruelty in general. Don't call yourself an 'animal lover' if you support the torture that these animals you 'love' endure every single day.

My cat started to kill a bird today, but then he thought about how the bird has rights and chose a cucumber from our garden instead.

I never said animals weren't meant to be eaten, although I don't eat them. I am a science major. I know and love the circle of life. I am saying that Earth was not made for humans and animals were not made solely for the purpose of serving humans.

I think I get what you're saying here.
I don't think they're here to serve us either. I think they're here to be companions and learn from.
Though sometimes they're tasty with BBQ sauce that doesn't exactly make us "superior".
Am I close?:huh:

Haha. You my dear, are correct.

YAY ME!!!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:
My favorite part of my morning routine is sitting on the porch with my coffee and watching the local birds, squirrels and cats get their breakfasts. Even try to keep the grass a little on the "long" side so it's better for those early morning bug treats

‎"If God did not intend for us to eat animals, then why did he make them out of meat?" ~John Cleese

What do you think we are made out of? Chopped liver?

Awe, my liver isnt chopped, but your brain is obviously scrambled. I eat all kinds of meat, and I LOVE it! I've even raised and butchered my own pigs, cows, and goats, butchered a calf once too, and its soooooooo good! They only wiggle for a minute.

That kind of comment is completely unnecessary..

My brain is scrambled? Um. I dont think so. Humans are made out of flesh and organs just like the animals you just said. They may be animals but are still alive, this is not about eating animals. Read the original post.

Bolded again since you clearly don't bash people of religion.

People are making snide comments because of you and the OP's self-righteousness. And yes, people like me DO think animals are tasty. Hence why we eat them. Thats not stupidity. Thats my taste buds.

I was a vegetarian since 1993. This thread just convinced me to start eating meat.
I never cared what anyone else put in there bodies.

I'm a total animal lover, but I realize, as a human, I'm naturally an omnivore. But I try to buy free-range and cruelty-free whenever possible. All my eggs come from my sister-in-law's chickens - and they're so much better tasting than the mass market chicken farms! I also regularly purchase locally hunted deer meat.

But I think the whole point of this thread is not whether you eat meat, but whether we have a right to treat animals only as slaves. Personally, I don't. Animals are beautiful and intelligent in their own ways. They have souls and can show affection and kindness just like any human. I definitely plan to have chickens and sheep/goats (and maybe a pig!) in the future - but they will not be for eating, they will be loving.

Actually brains ARE scrambled. I used to eat goat brains. They kinda taste like scrambled eggs except yummier

Nah, they only shut down fun threads. They let the ones with mean spirited comments roll on.

Bobby_Clerici

For what it's worth, I agree with you. Humans suck.

that's why I don't eat them....I mean as food....

Yep! That's exactly what this was about! Nothing to do with vegetarianism. I like your post.
