How long before we finally get an Emancipation Proclamation to free the animal beings?

Question

Prior to the Civil War in the United States, slavery was accepted as the norm by many. If you spoke out against it, you were considered an extremist.

However, slavery still exist. Animal beings are being enslaved just so they can be raised for meat. Just listen to how bad that sounds. They are raised for meat. Can you imagine if someone kidnapped you and raised you for meat? To view them as less than human beings is wrong. Animal beings are equal to human beings.

Just as slavery was abolished, I think meat eating will be abolished. My question is when and what will it take? When are animal beings going to experience the same freedom as human beings?

Answer 2

I have agreed with most everything you have said in the past. This, however, is extreme. Even though I feel that eating meat is wrong, I could never view animals as equal to human. When the animals can work for a living, earn a paycheck and purchase items it needs, as a human does, I might change my view. When an animal can go to church and comprehend what is being said and make a vociferous choice about what religion it wants to be, I might change my mind.
Until then, it is ideas like this that turn a lot of people off from even considering being a vegetarian or a vegan because we are labeled as nutcase extremist.

Answer 3

the way American heritage is taught in ordinary and severe college is to make human beings extra patriotic, to ensure our founding fathers and different large presidents as large heroes. If childrens are taught that a number of those human beings were inspired in part through greed, mothers and fathers get dissatisfied. in case you took American heritage in both severe college and faculty, you'd be very much taken aback at how diverse it became. Abe Lincoln extremely -became- a hero, yet he has develop right into a mythical figure contained in the way he's taught to American college childrens, he's larger than existence. the most well-known element about him is that he 'freed the slaves'. yet what he did is extra complicated than that. yet in case you could make a case that Lincoln 'freed the slaves', you in ordinary words ought to say he issued the Emancipation Proclamation and that is that. no favor to grant information, or both facet of the tale. 8^) in truth Lincoln waited till the Civil conflict all started. He waited till there have been one unmarried attack of the South hostile to the North, then issued the proclamation to -ensure- that there will be a conflict, that the South would not be in a position to secede, and that slavery will be abolished altogether contained in the right. you will locate this as pragmatic or on a similar time as cowardly. it is really very resembling GW Bush utilising 9/11 as a justification to invade Iraq, or Wm McKinley utilising the explosion of the Battleship Maine as a justification to occupy The Philippines.

Answer 4

I am totally against the inhumane treatment of animals too however I wouldn't equate them as equal to humans.
When I see footage of starving children and the horrors of war, that really breaks my heart.
Vegetarianism is becoming more popular as people realise meat is not a healthy option and gradually the facts about the meat and dairy industry will become well-known.
There is just too much money invested in these industries to make people aware of what they are really eating.
It won't happen overnight, but it will happen.

Answer 5

I'm sorry, my friend, but just as democracy cannot be dispensed from the barrel of a gun, eating behavior cannot be legislated with the stroke of a pen. As long as America is a free country, people will eat what they wish, when they wish, and/or according to their beliefs about the right things to eat.

You see, everyone agrees that exercising, eating the proper foods, and getting enough sleep are essential to being healthy. Even so, there are still going to be people who don't exercise often enough, eat junk food, and don't get enough sleep. We all agree that smoking cigarettes is not healthy, but people still smoke, even after 60 years of media messages saying how unhealthy it is. Is that a healthy lifestyle? No, but what people like you and the Food & Drug Administration don't understand is that human behavior doesn't change just because somebody passes a law. It's about something called free will.

Even if meat eating were outlawed tomorrow, people are still going to try to find some way to eat it if they like it. Not everyone considers animal life to be equal to human life. That's the way it is.

Answer 6

This is why i hate people who belong to peta which i suppose you do the way you sound since you cannot come up with your own argument but must borrow one from peta's website or some other stupid website thats for animal rights and what else should we do for the animals after that give them the right to vote.

Answer 7

i agree that it'll be abolished, but in a very, very long time. that's what really depresses me- to know that i will have been dead for thousands of years before animals are treated with respect.

Answer 8

I am a vegetarian working at becoming a vegan and I still label you an extremist.

Answer 9

Answer 10
