Do any plp belive that eating meat is wrong? Do sum of u that do still eat it?

Answer 1

I eat meat and I love it. It's my favourite food and I couldn't live without it. We were meant to eat meat, otherwise why have we been doing it for centuries?

Don't get me wrong, I love my animals, I'm a farmers daughter, and I have a pet Steer and Sheep, the best pets in the world. But I can use my common sense. In Australia it is done humanely and the animals don't suffer.They would just die an uncomfortable death in the paddocks if left to their own defices.

Answer 2

As a vast general there is a high road and a low road. The high road as you can guess is the one in which you do not eat animals. I only believe eating animals to be wrong in two instances, one in which you would not be willing to reincarnate some day and die as that animal died, and two, if you ate an animal you did not need to survive.

Sometimes there is waste and or social situations which warrant a possible compromise. Overall I would say yes, it is wrong to eat meat, with a few exceptions.

Do I still eat it. Well just tonight I went to my dads and he served me soup with chicken in it. I would have never bought this but felt it would have caused needless social suffering to refuse it and would have dishonored the animals sacrifice, so I gave thanks to God, the animal, and all associated in bringing me this food.

Theoretically the Buddha ate meat when it was offered to him. I can understand now why in some circumstances this could be appropriate. However I try as much as is reasonable to completely eliminate the demand for meat products as well as encouraging others to be more conscious on health, environmental, as well as ethical levels.

Answer 3

It depends on what you mean by "wrong"; that word is a bit too broad. It comes down to a very simple choice: buying meat, eggs, and dairy causes unnecessary suffering, and individual humans are are capable of choosing to not cause that suffering.

"Many say that humans deserve rights while other animals do not because humans have a greater level of certain characteristics: humans are more intelligent, creative, aware, technologically advanced, dominant, able to use language, able to enter into contracts, able to make moral choices, etc. Thus, humans deserve rights because they have a greater degree of these characteristics.

This argument has two problems:

* Rights are not relevant to a group (e.g., "humans"), but only to individuals. Individuals, not groups, are exploited and are capable of suffering and dying; individuals, not groups, are denied rights when there is a morally relevant reason (e.g., after committing a crime).
* Not all humans possess these characteristics to a greater degree than all other non-humans. There are non-humans who are more intelligent, creative, aware, dominant, technologically advanced (in reference to tool making), and able to use language, than some humans (such as infants or severely handicapped humans). Furthermore, many animals perform actions that, in humans, would be labeled moral behavior; oftentimes some animals act more ethically than many humans. If rights were granted at a certain threshold of intelligence, creativity, moral behavior, etc., some animals would have rights and some humans would not."

YESSSSSSS!!!
Besides the obvios ethical reasons there are also nutrisios reasons. Many people eat when the go on a diet. One problem I found is that it makes my metabolism faster. After I went vegeterian(and a bit vegan) I lost 45 lbs.

Albert Einstein said that as part of our evolution we would stop eating meat.

Answer 5

Yes I eat meat, as people have done since the beginning. What is wrong is taking meat for granted and not giving thanks for the sacrifice of life given . Also wasting meat is wrong.
I can respect a persons decision not to but they need'nt force their opinion on others.

Answer 6

I don't think that it is wrong. While I don't deny that some animals are very intelligent, I think humans are always more important. I think things like killing animals or food is justified because it benefits the humans who eat it, etc. Eating meat is natural for us humans, and as such I don't think it is wrong to do so.

Killing for no reason is different.

Answer 7

I sometimes think that eating meat is wrong but I still eat it.

Answer 8

i was a vegetarian for 2 years i just recently started eating meat again and i hate myself for it. but money has been really tight and if i don't eat meat i cant afford to eat the healthy stuff i need instead of meat

Answer 9

I know it is wrong, which is why I don't eat it. How can you slaughter all of God's creatures just to satify your taste buds? Read the Bible people! It's the key to life!

Answer 10

I don't think it is wrong, why else would there be hamburger joints on every corner? The voices in my head keep saying, "Must eat meat". I can't explain it either. I'll have another double cheeseburger, extra mayo, please!
