Answer 2

I personally wish all the people who are overly concerned with the 'horrid slaughter of animals' would go ahead and donate all of their money to rescue efforts for these 'poor livestock' that is so 'heartlessly' slaughtered and while your at it make sure you send enough money to support the farmers you just put out of work because you read some ridiculous regurgated article on peta telling you that animal slaughter is wrong. And when you put the beef, pork and chicken farmers out of business you should start growing your own veggies, cause without the need to raise livestock most grain farmers aren't gonna be able to make a profit and will go under.

And further more these animals are raised for slaughter, it's not like we go hunting on the streets of your town at night for your lost peekapoo to slaughter for the local mcdonalds. These animals are better taken care of from a nutritional and healthcare stand point than the majority of children living beneath the poverty level in the United States.

Feel free to be a vegetarian if you like, but until I'm eating your cow or pig, chicken or lamb, don't worry about what I put on my family's table or as a rancher what I'm putting on anybody else's family dinner table.

Think about it this way! What would happen if our hunters stopped hunting the deer. If we stopped taking the cows, pigs, etc to the slaughter house? The population of animals would grow out of control. And I know were i am there is not a predator big enough to take down a full size bull, or even some of our larger deer. Do you really wanna see more dead deer along side the road cuz we stopped hunting for meat? Do you really want cows, sheep and chickens running across the road for you to hit when you are driving. Hummm.. If you hit a larger size bull, that wouldn't be a pretty site!

Answer 4

We are all told that murder is wrong. When asked the general question, what is murder?: Most people would answer, Murder is the taking of a life before it should end. Then you say well what is meat. The only way to put it is MEAT IS MURDER. If meat eaters look at British Pig Farms, what you will see is disgusting. You just have to look at Viva!'s website to see this.

I agree with the fact that a lot of animals are put on this earth to be eaten. However firstly, I may eat meat if they were not treated with such diregard and didn't have all their natural instincts shattered. Also, while there are plenty of other, much healthier things to eat on this earth, I certainly would not eat meat. Animal fats are the main cause of high cholesterol.

Answer 5

Why is this under the "Pets" category? If you want to make social commentary, put it under "Society and Culture" or some other appropriate heading. The people who come here LIKE animals, so why talk about slaughter here?

Answer 6

PETA
People Eating Tasty Animals!

Answer 7

Humans are omnivores. As such we require certain kinds of nutrition available only from animals. Protein derived from animal flesh is much different than protein derived from vegetable matter (ie: soy or tofu). Our bodies run more efficiently using animal protein.

Animal slaughter is only wrong if done inhumanely.

Answer 8

mass slaughter is wrong, but then again, whare else are you going to those vitamins and nutrienst that only come from meat? i had a friend who didnt eat anything meat or anything from animals, like milk and stuff, the end result was pale skin and lack of musscle because she didnt get her protien, you need to eat animals, its not saving the animals of you dont, because there are millions of people who would gladly take home a carton of steak, i never saw how stopping from eating meat was gonna save the slaughter animals, what would happen if you were succesful? the cows are just going to get slaughtered, and then wasted, because the demand just dropped, so the extra meat goes stale, and the extra cows? killed and then cleaned up for leather, its like i said, eating meat isnt wrong, its healthy and safe, not eating it it unhealthy, you are depriving your body of vital niturents and vitamins, unless you are going to take pills, but who wants to rember to take thier meat pill in the morning andn afternoon? eating animals isnt wrong in any way, killing the animal just for fun is, unless you plan to eat it, and the farms so that, they raise the cows, if they were so evil, would they wait untill they git big and then kill them, or would they just shoot the pregnant cow? like i said before, humans used to eat animals thousands of years ago nautrally, but its now, do you want to raise a cow, kill it and process it for your meat? no, thats the farms job, they do it do you dont have to, also, someone tell me a substitute for meat that doesnt come from an animal?

Answer 9

Well it would be a lot more cruel to cut off a piece of meat from an animal BEFORE you slaughter it.

Answer 10
