What do you think about animals being consumed as food?

Answer 1

As far as I am concerned, the taking of a life before it should end is murder. I do believe in euthanasia if something or someone is suffering, but I do not agree with eating animals, just because we can. I agree that most animals are only here to be eaten, but I do not agree with the way farmers make them live. I work on a farm, which is also a sanctuary. We have two pigs, up until a couple of weeks ago sheep, two donkeys, horses, rabbits, g-pigs, chickens and often have a couple of goats. These are all rescued animals and will never ever ever be eaten.

VEGGIE FOOD IS BETTER FOR YOU, AND TASTES LOADS BETTER TOO.

Answer 2

I don't have a problem with eating animals it is the way in which they are treated before they are killed for food that bothers me so much. It is also the fact that we use animals for totally unnecesary testing and I am not taking about disease research and the like I am talking about cosmetic testing and testing that does not actually save lives or prevent diseases. Why dont people have more respect for life? I just dont understand how they are able to cut off from the part of themselves that knows that it is wrong to mistreat living things in the same way that I dont understand how some people were able to treat black people as property and beat them and kill them. The techniques used in factory farming and mass production that are used to cut costs are just wrong. Cramming chickens in a very tiny cage and debeaking them so that they can live in close quarters without aggression? Baby pigs being taken from their mothers at less than 1 month old and having their tails are teeth and testicles (if they are male) cut off without pain meds? More than 170,000 pigs die in transport each year, and more than 420,000 are crippled by the time they arrive at the slaughterhouse. Many are still fully conscious when they are immersed in scalding water for hair removal. I could go on and on with the other animals we eat but I wont. Eat meat if you want. Know that you are eating an animal. But PLEASE eat meat from farms that you know practice safe and humane farming techniques. Not only is it better for your body, its better for your soul!

Answer 3

i've been a vegetarian since i was 4 (i'm 25 now), however, i'm not out to convert the world as to why they shouldn't eat certain things. if they want to adopt a meat-free lifestyle, fine, i'll give them tips on how to get started. the reason i stopped eating meat so young was because i never liked the idea of animals suffering when they were killed. due to cuban traditions, a pig is roasted every christmas eve, & i went w/ my parents to a farm at night & right in front of me, the farmer shot the pig in the back of its head w/ a shotgun. I WAS 4.

anyway, as i said before, i don't care what people eat. as long as they don't try to sway me to eat meat based on pointless arguments, then it's all good.

also, it's been so many years since i've consumed any meat, that i developed an allergy/intolerance to it. which means that i can't eat it now anyway. funny how things work out...

Answer 4

Well is ok because this is the Food Chain we eat animals like the Shark eats humans but some animals i think are not for consummation.

Answer 5

Once I am dead I don't care what happens to my body, so I am fine with my body being consumed as food.

I'm a meat eater, and I'm okay with eating meat. I know that it is more efficient to farm vegetation and serve it to people as compared to farming the vegetation, feeding it to animals, and then eating them. I'm in favor of doing it that way, but in practice I loves me my steak and chicken.

Answer 6

Its fine to me. The animals that are killed are over populating and are raised to be killed. I have nothing against people who think other but they dont need to bug people. If we give animals freedom then wont we have to give plants freedom too? I mean they are living breathing thing as well. Its a chain of life, we also are eaten, just not as much because we are some-what smarter then the food we eat yet we are food to some animals too yet you dont see a shark fighting to save the humans.

Answer 7

Have you ever watched "Lion King"? It's the circle of life. Got Beef? If we were not meant to eat it then our teeth would be flat, like a horse or a cow. God even gave the Egyptians bird to eat after they continued to complain about eating mana. No harm in eating meat. Should not abuse its abundance by wasting it though. Consume what you kill.

Answer 8

I'm going deer hunting tomorrow and I can't wait! I don't think theres anything wrong with it except for in some cases like elk. They can't even heep their "antlers" which is like the only thing they have left once their all contained. Its pretty sad. They don't even get to live their lives and thats one reason I refuse to eat elk. I hear it's great and I would eat it, if they treated them better or if it was game. It all depends what kind of meat your talkin.

Answer 9

Depends of what animals. For sure is not the cute furry poodle or the Himalayan cat, but pets (at least in certain countries) are not for food. We eat tuna, but we don't eat dolphins, we eat shark, but we should not eat hump backs or killer whales. Now, if you are a vegetarian or vegan, you made that choice, but no because it's wrong to eat certain species for surviving. It's wrong to kill for fun as hunting, and it's wrong to kill animals for fur, it's wrong to eat animals in extinction, just like having a bold eagle's egg for breakfast's scramble eggs. Do you see the difference?

Answer 10

I think it's unfortunate, but a fact of biology. As long as there has been a flicker of life on earth, consumption has existed, and one thing has eaten another. I think that treating animals ethically is important though. Being food doesn't mean you deserve unnecessary abuse.
