You complain about killing animals for food.You always say don't hurt an animal.What about plants they are living things.I would not want my finger picked off me for a side dish.
We can't hurt animals or plants.How do we survive?Do we just starve to death?

Dear MEnB,
wrong analogy...
are you talkin ab supporting not killing plants, or tryin' to use that as an excuse to justify your own belief? bcoz according to that logic, since killing animals is justified, then why not kill humans n eat em too?
well...I can't answer your question to perfection but, lets see....
we are not naturally biologically dependant on animals for life....we are capable of sustaining ourselves without the need to kill animals...
nature has made plants to sustain life forms....we as humans are naturally, biologically dependent on plants for survival .....
it might not be perfectly justified to be a vegetarian since you are killing a form of life...
but plants were born to serve, to sustain life form on earth....plants take in carbon di oxide n give out oxygen that we breathe...this interdependency is natural....
but to kill animals when it isn't needed isn't natural...
If you were really defending plants and tryin to justify that killing plants is unethical too....then i would have really appreciated that kinda spiritual affinity...
there is a level higher to even vegetarianism....its a pure state of spirit where the body learns to live just on air n water... to you it might seem ridiculous...but many saints have attained that level of existence....
but unfortunately, we are so stuck up with our desires of the flesh that we oversee the power of the spirit...
I know that my answer is not going to turn you into a vegetarian...
but to defend life in any way is more divine than to justify killing...

Agree with you 100%. There is a difference between animal rights and animal welfare. Sadly though, I think many people still lump them together. I've been called an 'animal rights activist' before for thinking the conditions certain animals were kept in, or for thinking only show/working quality dogs should be bred. Like you, and most people here, I was taken aback as for me...animal rights activists are crazy Peta nut-jobs who think owning a pet is a crime against nature. While I don't feel this way, I DO feel that they have a "right" to a loving caring home where they are treated properly. I will reword that and say that every dog DESERVES a good home and as the people domesticating them, it is our job to provide that for them. YOu would think a vet's office would know the difference and use the right terms. Legit: Last thing I bought for my dog was a bag of Orijen. No...wait...that was my free bag, so before that I bought a bag of freeze dried liver treats and a bottle of anti-itchy shampoo (Edward seems to have some seasonal grass allergies)

Dude....the plants are living...but they do not bleed....
I am for animal rights....but I also am not a vegitarian.
There are different ways at looking at animal rights.
I believe hurting animals are wrong, such as expiramenting
on rats, monkies, and rabbits, like putting makeup in rabbits eyes to see if it burns...(those bastards) to see if it is safe for humans. They can find a different way to test makeup without involving animals. or putting so much pressure on a chimp that its head explodes.
That is my version of animal rights, to find a way to not use animals in every single stupid expirament people do.
Sorry if I ranted, but what they do to animals is wrong, and karma will come to bite them in the *** one day.

I'm not exactly what you would call "animal rights" person, but I do have some views on eating meat and killing for food.
We are at the top af the food chain. Other animals kill for food so why can't we? I do not agree with killing for sport, but for food it shouldn't be a problem! If you can't eat it then don't kill it!!

eat salt. It is inorganic. Drink plenty of water. We were meant to be ominivorous. I do get upset when hear of animals such as geese(force fed to enlarge their livers) or a veal calf that have been tied up for days. Other than that, I think that eating meat is the natural order of things. Eating fish is supposed to be good for the heart.

Well, thats a very good point. Plants alone dont meet the requirements to survive, and animals either so... I just eat..

I think that the only people who truly understand animal rights were in Jeffery Dahmers freezer.

Animals don't hurt like humans. When you kill them right they don't feel anything. We got to eat. I eat salad too. I'm the worse kind of person. Nice big steak and a huge salad.....Gees I'm heartbroken now just thinking about leaf lettuce....

uhhh...plants are plants. But lighten up, all animals have rights.
Right next to the potato on my plate....medium rare.
Seriously, God said he gave us the plants and animals for our needs. We just should go around shooting and kicking animals for fun, but we have to eat. If he didn't want us to eat meat, he wouldn't have made us that way. He just didn't want us to abuse the gift of the animals He gave us is all.
