Heard about a dog who's throat was cut, would you?

Question

Take the time to think of a lamb, a piglet or a baby calf being treated this way?
Would you happily eat it irregardless of how if was killed?
People who commit these heinous acts are really sick however meat eaters do not see the big picture.
All animals are tortured to put food on your table, if you are so outraged, can you not stop condoning the animal slaughter and look for vegetarian alternatives where no animal suffers?
Or do you just get outraged when it happens to a pet, seems like you are outraged because it was a dog, me too.
Think about it.......

Heartless people who endorse cruelty!

Does no-one see past their need to eat meat at whatever cost?

Silver, my question is how can people condone such cruelty to justify their need to eat meat?

Shaar, Muslims eat meat except for pig meat.

No-one can justify eating meat here...... not with the non-meat options we have now, you are just a bunch who sticks their heads under pillows.

Answer 1

I simply wanted to say I support you. A compassionate heart is something that everyone wishes everyone else had, but believe that they personally can do without.

Answer 2

Before I really answer your question I would like to point out something here for the benefits of all the people who have posted their answers and said that non vegetarian food is essential. I have been a vegetarian all my life and I am 39 and much healthier and younger looking then most of my meat eating friends. I look younger and fitter then my own younger brother.

The famous Indian wrestler and once world beater in free style wrestling, Dara Singh is not in his 80s and has been living a healthy and active life, he is total vegetarian, so do we really need meat? My answer is no we can get all the animal proteins through vegetable sources whether love value biological proteins or high value biological proteins.

One should see how these animals are being slaughtered, see how those are treated before they are killed, if anyone wants I can post a few pictures about this cruelty.

Answer 3

I used to be a vegitarian for 8 years. Then I got pregnant and began to feel sick. The only thing that made me feel better was eating meat. Then, I saw that it was due to eating meat that made our brains develop into how they are today. Plus, animals torture other animals and eat them all of the time. Therefore, I eat meat now. I support legislation for humane treatemt of farm animals, but I do enjoy the tasty burger.

Answer 4

Humans are omnivores. We need a diet of meat and vegetables to be healthy. Animals kill each other for food all the time. We do the same. Killing for fun or for sport is wrong. Killing for food is life. Get over it.

Answer 5

What about when a person's throat is cut and then beheaded, like the Muslims do to non-Muslims. I guess it is OK because they do not eat the meat...

Answer 6

Why aren't you outraged at all the animals you have killed?

The pollution you generate every day from your car and using electricity is just a part of it. Then there are all the animals that you have displaced, oh face it KILLED, by removing their habitat. Because of you the competition for scarce land and habitat for the animals has had to increase, then when you include the land lost to the freeway your drive everyday to work, or the streets you drive to get home, there is a huge displacement of animals and thanks to the destruction of their habitat many of them have died. Less can survive simply because the dwindling land available for them can only support so many creatures. There is the huge amount of land displacement made by the stores you shop at. Plus when you shop at Wal-Mart you are promoting child labor under harsh conditions in foreign countries. Then how responsible is the company that you work for. The building and parking lot alone have displaced animals and destroyed habitat. They also use huge amounts of power and that generated pollution. I am not even including what your company does and how it affects the environment. Nor am I including the land lost to build the library that you visit or the land that required to provide a field for your favorite sports team.

Why do Americans draw the line at the dog? In Korea it is perfectible acceptable to eat dog, there they aren’t just man’s best friend they are also a possible meal. Personally I couldn’t bring myself to eat dogs, because I like them so much, but if it was dog meat or death by starvation then I would eat the dog.

Even if you don't leave your house, don't drive a car, and use solar energy for your heating and cooling then the vegetable and fruits you eat have promoted an increase in agriculture that has displaced even more animals. You are also responsible for promoting the use of pesticides and massive use of harsh fertilizers. I am ignoring the Native Americans that you and your ancestors killed and displaced.

It is impossible to not have a footprint on this planet. Everything that we do, we do at the cost of others. But, that's life, it is a competition and the winner takes all. Yes, I eat meat, and yes animals have to die in order for me to do that. I know this, and I know how they are killed. Most of it is done in as human a fashion as possible, but any death will bring an instant of pain. I know, because I have had to personally kill a chicken to eat. I didn’t like it, most of my class didn’t either, but if we wanted lunch then it had to be killed, and if I had missed lunch then that chicken would have died to feed someone else; it was doomed. At least how we slaughter animals today is more humane than it was a few decades ago. But, there are other problems like the regulations that forbid putting down animals that are injured in transport to the slaughterhouse. Instead they are taken by earthmovers and dumped onto the slaughterhouse assembly line. After reading excerpts from Upton Sinclair’s the Jungle I can’t eat hotdogs and I have seriously cut down on the amount of read meat that I eat. I hate the idea of eating rat feces, but then you do too whenever you eat bread, or the food you eat is stored. Rats have been thriving on our agricultural harvests for as long as man has planted crops.

Don’t hate me just because I eat meat. I hate the idea of something having to die in order for me to survive, but it has to happen. And where do we put a limit on what we are killing; how about the millions of bacteria and viruses that you have killed with just your body’s immune system? Did you know that entire population of Small Pox has been removed from the wild? How do you know that bacteria don’t have thoughts, or don’t have souls? Has God whispered into your ear that it is all right to kill these creatures because they don’t matter much to you?

The fact that plants can feel pain is still in dispute. If so then you are responsible for uncounted amounts of herbivore induced plant agony. Do you think that being threshed, tossed, and cooked isn’t painful then you are wrong. What did these poor plants ever do to offend you that you have to have them killed?

You draw the line at animals and don’t want to eat them, but don’t delude yourself you are still responsible for the slaughter of hundreds of innocent animals, and billions of germs and plants. Why do people assume that fish are unintelligent so that eating them isn’t a bad thing to do? If you don’t eat meat because of a diet choice then that is fine, although your body wasn’t designed to survive on a pure plant matter diet; you aren’t a cow after all. If you don’t eat meat because you think that you are saving animals then you are wrong. You are already responsible for killing hundreds of animals simply by using the land that they use to live on. I hate hypocrites and some vegans and vegetarian are. I know what had to die for me to live, I don’t have to like it, but then life isn’t fair. If life were fair then Jesus wouldn’t have had to suffer the horrible agony of his death.

Now I understand your feelings you are trying to minimize your footprint on this planet. Yes fewer animals may die because you don’t eat meat, and no religion has ever said that plants have souls. (But, if dogs and cats can have souls what about goldfish or flounder? Where do we draw the line?) I am willing to put up with more death of animals than you are, but that doesn’t make me evil. Just like I don’t call you evil for displacing so many animals and Native Americans. I do hold you responsible for the pollution that you create, and I hold myself just as responsible. We both have an effect on our world and that can’t be avoided all we can do is try to minimize the harm that we do. I am willing to eat meat, because I was designed as an omnivore. It is as natural to man as it is for the lioness to kill her dinner so she can feed her family. Or do you also assume that all predators are evil monsters as well?
