(Just for fun) Vegetarian diet or Carnivorous diet?

[MadduckUK]

I'm sure you would be happy if you were put in a home, not allowed to leave your home, forced to eat what they give you, unable to travel anywhere else... and then in the end someone comes in and kills you and then eats you. Real happy life.

Now who is distorting the facts?

Or, are you suggesting that if someone murders their children kindly that they not goto prison for it, since they gave the kids shelter and food?

moo?

There is also the idea (perhaps a slightly less than serious idea) that animals that are breat for their meat and other products would be near enough extinct if we didn't farm them. After all, what wouldbe the point in the, they would just be getting in our way and eating our crops.

So you would want all those lovely animals to be extinct would you?

(tongue firmly in cheek while writing this post)

So murdering them and eating them is the solution?

Oh come on!

They. are. not. poeple.

That doesn't matter.

They are creatures that have a heart, brain, flesh, bones, they bleed, they cry, they feel pain, and express it very well.

As an intelligent human, with any sense of morality, you cannot kill something without feeling remorse, pity, and sadness.

ah - your one of those "meat is murder" people

remind me to wear one of my Threadless shirts to the next meet

I dissagree.

[Robscure]

I dissagree.

Would you kill a cat or dog and eat it?

yep - hugh furnley whittingstall can cook with just about all of them

Your morale compass is clearly more heavily magnetised than the rest of us - one assumes you are equally morale in all other respects ?

Your last sentence is true but those sentiments would not stop me killing and eating animals. A healthy respect for the animal and its life can be reconsiled with killing and eating the animals. Your arguements are based on your own morality and are skewed because of it. You will never be able to have a constructive arguement because of that.

Not sure where this argument goes with intelligence, sense of morality there if you saw one creature killing another, would you intervene?

[Moby-Dick]

Would you kill a cat or dog and eat it?

Nope - it would only do a couple of meals, its not a very big cat and I've not seen any suitable recepies for it. My collegues chickens , however have already been earmarked.

[tiggerai]

I wouldn't call a vegetarian diet "fun" tbh.

I know, lets all stop eating meat. then we'd have to burn all the poor fluffy animals that have been grown for a purpose for hundreds of years, as they are useless to us - see "Foot and Mouth" for reference to pyres.

And pig on bread is a bit boring without the pig, as is steak on chips.

Nope, I'm not perfect, nobody is. And the purpose of this thread isn't to judge anyone, but to hopefully open an avenue they haven't thought about yet.

If I run around in public screaming and cussing all of the time, I would hope someone would point out that it's not polite to do so.

Just like if people don't see what is wrong about killing an animal, then someone should explain it to them.

If animal's lives weren't an issue or morality, then why do people goto jail for senselessly killing an animal?

If you take a knife and cut your cats throat and throw it in the garbage can, for example...

I guess you think this is an okay thing to do.

[Funkstar]

Would you kill a cat or dog and eat it?

No. But then I hear they aren't actually that nice.

I was offeed dog meat in Nigeria, but the dish wasn't that appealing, and the dog was probably a stray, so no idea where it had come from.

So why are you ignoring the other threads where people have already thought about it?

Sorry, I'm vegetarian too, but your arguements are silly and you just seem to want to rant rather than actually take part in reasonable debate.
