If you do eat animals, you should at least make sure it wasn't raised inhumanely and made to suffer in order to save money. Also, if you choose to eat them, eat sparingly. Meat isn't healthy in quantitly, veggies and fruits will keep you healthy.

Nothing was "put" on this Earth for another to eat.
Evolution also created the "food chain" which had natural predators who were there to maintain balance by eating the creatures that could overpopulate the Earth and create an imbalance.
Man is today's Predator.

No animal (including humans) was "put" here for any reason. We all evolved from earlier, simpler life forms, and we're all related. Many large mammals, especially those with large brains, got that way because they ate other animals -- that ready supply of protein was necessary to support a large brain, which needs a lot of energy. Our bodies are very well adapted to eating meat from other animals, and that meat in fact provides proteins and nutrients that are hard to get from just vegetable sources. There are vegetable alternatives, but none of them contain the concentrated protein that flesh does -- so animal flesh is a very efficient food source.
You can decide to eat animal flesh or not -- that's up to you. If you decide not to, be sure to get LOTS of high-protein vegetables like legumes, soy, etc. to make up for what you're missing and to stay healthy. But there's no "put here for us" anything argument to go by, we're all animals. :)

It's hard to say precisely why animals were put here, since we don't even know for sure why we are here. Maybe we are here for them to eat and we've got it all backward. After all, some of them have the correct type of teeth for eating meat, while we were given the omnivorous type. My vote is no. Be a veggie. Vegetarians fart better after all. (You know it's true!)

Well, it depends on how you take it. Animals eat other animals. It's the circle of life. There's consumers, producers, and decomposers. They all play a role in life. We humans are considered consumers.

Absolutely not.
The simple way to tell is by tooth structure.
Creatures that have sharp and pointed teeth are meat eaters.
Those that have flat teeth such as cow, elephant, panda, gorilla, monkey, sheep, bison, goat, giraffe, hippo, deer, humans, etc., were not meant to eat meat.

Perhaps not for the sole purpose - but they are part of the food chain - just as we part of it too after death.
And before the religious folks get all tetchy with us, please remember that is was not "loaves and pot noodles" that were apparently used to feed the 5,000 :)

If we are in need of food, yes. In my religion, shooting animals for no real purpose is a sin.
