"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?0 -
Sorry dear, all animals are part of the food chain. Some less likely to be eaten than others.
Every animal is edible. Even I'm edible. But that my dear friend is called cannibalism. And it is frowned upon in most societies...
Awesome. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory reference. Yes.
OH SWEET LAWD THANK YOU!! I was worried it was going to go over EVERYONE'S head...0 -
I miss the Sundays where after church, Granny would open the back door and pick up the .22 and say "what chicken do you want tonight?" and blow its head off.
those were the days. best. chicken. ever.
Jealous... I want that fresh of meat. I am thinking I need to find a way to raise my own meat.
I've got fresh gator meat in the freezer. you coming?0 -
BTW, if the killing of animals for eats is keeping you awake, then maybe you should take a walk outside and see other atrocities happening. Poverty, child hunger, drug abuse, uncureable diseases. There are alot of problems really one can lose sleep over. Not saying animal love isn't a noble cause but considering this is something that has been going on since the cave men time and something that a lot of other animals participate over too, maybe you should focus on real issues rather than telling others what to eat0

Why stress yourself because of others? If I let people get to me, I probably would have gone postal somewhere along the line, as I am sure many others would. Focus on yourself, do what you believe is right , and f@ck all the rest.0

Who cares? They're food!:laugh: :laugh:We treat animals a lot like animals treat each other.
Earth creatures eat one another.
Welcome to reality.
If somebody does not want to eat animal flesh, fine. Just don't snivel over the fact that most humans do.
Life at the top of the food chain has its benefits.
Buon Appetito
I'm sure you would love being mistreated, underfed, farmed and then killed for your flesh to be eaten by creatures bigger than you. I have been vegetarian all my life have no problems with omnivornes. Just because you're a human doesnt mean you have to be ignorant. I do too believe animals were ment to be eaten, but to the extent.. Now they are farmed soley for meat.
I always find such sniveling delicious but not as much as the turkey I ate an hour ago....:drinker:0 -

Find it funny because she never mentioned eating animals and denied the comment. Everyone took into account that animal lovers means vegetarians... Not the case.0 -
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!"0 -
If this is what keeps you up at night, I hope you know that there are millions of people on this Earth that would switch places with you in a heartbeat.....

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:0 -

Prime example of ignorance right here. Cool story bro.0 -
Okay first off didn't read all the other posts, but I am an animal lover and we have a ton of rescue pets. We have 3 cats (black ones and older ones that had to go together because apparently black cats get adopted last) a dog, a lizard and we even had milipedes (don't even get me started on that one they are creepy little things). But they all get to live out their natural lives in my house!0

I have to say, even when I ate meat, I never thought lololmeatjokes were funny. It's the equivalent of spaghetti monster jokes in front of Christians, or sammich jokes in front a feminist, dead baby jokes in front of an amnesty volunteer or any other tasteless joke that laughs at the moral choices of others.
LOLOLOLHARHARHAREATMEAT.

Hmm, I don't really care that much. As for uncurable diseases, I watched and held my father's hand a few months ago as he died of cancer. I have a lot of other problems that I lose sleep over, but they mostly don't have to do with random people I don't care about. And if you could read, you'd see I said that this had nothing to do with vegetarianism.0 -
the only thing my animals serve is being my best friends and companions.....i love them to death and work at a vets office i would never say we are superior0

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.0

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.0 -

Haha. You my dear, are correct.0 -
I am just the opposite.BTW, if the killing of animals for eats is keeping you awake, then maybe you should take a walk outside and see other atrocities happening.

Eating meat and the availability of meat helps me sleep.
Just knowing there is a chicken in a cage somewhere right now, being fed, getting fat and plump.....:yawn:0 -

So she doesn't care about children she doesn't know who starve to death yet cares about animals of other species?

Ahh, if you only knew anything about me.0 -
There's a big difference between "caveman times" and now. We are mass producing animals in factories, giving them steroids and inadequate nutrition. Putting them on antibiotics because they can't survive the conditions they live in by themselves. These animals don't see daylight until they're on the truck enroute to the slaughter house. They have tendons cut so they can't run away. Mother cows are force bred (raped) to put out milk while their calves are given inadequate nutrition. This is a factory system that was made to satisfy the billions who view eating animals as the normal and don't think twice. It is NOT a system where the animals are roaming free and hunters bring the meat back. The animals are put on a conveyer belt and their throats are systematically slit, letting their blood drain to the floor while they are still alive and struggling to get away. It's completely inhumane treatment and the jokes are actually extremely offensive, especially to people new to the animal rights community. I'm used to it, others can get seriously depressed over it. Please grow up.0

For what it's worth, I agree with you. Humans suck. The sooner you accept this the better. I try not to have any expectations and am rarely disappointed.0

We all live and we all die.
two2getready: I wish my cat would do that.0 -
An animal lover? That would be me. Chicken, beef, pork, venison, elk, moose, bison, dove, duck goose, quail, turkey, hare, fish, gator, rattlesnake, even bear and armadillo (once) - Properly prepared, I love 'em all.0

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.
I wonder what you would say if you WERE bashing people of religion...
I'm not even christian and this hurt knowing people are so self-righteous they can't even leave anyone else of different belief alone0 -
