Would you still eat the meat if you knew the animal suffered?

Question

Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet. ~Albert Einstein

Truely man is the king of beasts, for his brutality exceeds theirs. We live by the death of others: we are burial places! I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look on the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men. ~Leonardo da Vinci

To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being. I should be unwilling to take the life of a lamb for the sake of the human body. ~Mahatma Gandhi

A veteran USDA meat inspector from Texas describes what he has seen: "Cattle dragged and choked...Knocking ‘em four, five, ten times. Every now and then when they’re stunned they come back to life, and they’re up there agonizing. They’re supposed to be restunned but sometimes they aren’t and they’ll go through the skinning process alive."

A couple of you are cruel, many of you are funny, and a lot of you are compassionate.

Answer 1

Yes i still eat meat and if seen some pretty horrible videos but its all just jibberish because u can not live without meat its just not healthy to always eat salad and wateva vegans and vegetarians eat. So i will always eat meat in my life unless the news says not to or someone puts a gun to my head lol?

Answer 2

If I knew the animal suffered I wouldn't eat it. The thing is we won't really know how the animal died most of the time. I don't think anyone or anything should have to suffer. That is really sad if that is true that animals are suffering. You would think there would be some sort of humane way of doing it. If there is a so called humane way.

Answer 3

long as i had sauteed mushrooms and onions heck yea
that or some GOOD marsalia sauce, go eat all the lettuce you want, why don't you Google WHY humans are kings of the Beasts-cause we tamed FIRE and COOKED are meat-thus enabling out BRAINS to GROW. EVERY Vegan i know is always sick and looks it too.
and NO girl-i am 5-10 and thin and HEALTHY.
Pass the A-1 please

Answer 4

Humans are biologically intended to be omnivores ... eating plants and meat. You need look no further than our teeth (designed both for tearing meat and grinding plants and grain), our intenstines (length halfway between sole plant eaters (very long) and sole meat eaters (very short) to know that we were destined to eat meat. So ... yes ... I'd still eat meat, but it's nice to know that humane methods are used so this question is a moot point.

Answer 5

That's HORRIBLE!!! I'm working my may into a vegetarian lifestyle. I feel better when I eat fruits and vegetables, anyway. I'll NEVER stop eating things like dairy products and honey (those things cause no harm to animals, so I wouldn't be vegan). The thing I have a hard time giving up is seafood--I practically live on shrimp, scallops and salmon.

Answer 6

Yes, Suffering is part of existance. I prefer to not have animals suffer any more than necessary. Although, animals kill others and eat them, the prey often suffers terribly. Go figure

Answer 7

Answer 8

i would still eat meat just not that particular kind. i would go strike and get them to change the way that the animal died. what would you have done if a chicken was first sleep then killed. would you still eat chicken. i know you have been to Chick Fla La. email me and see how my anwser.

Answer 9

It is hard for me to type holding these ribs but yes, I would. I would also eat it if it did not suffer. I have incisor and canine teeth designed for tearing meat. If I were meant to only eat vegetables my teeth would be like other herbivore animals.

Answer 10

no. in the jewish religion, we have the butcher kill the animal in a specific spot, in order to minimize the suffering. if it is not done properly, with a trusted supervisor, we cannot eat the meat.
