Do animals feel pain when they were killed for meat?

Question

Can you bare pain? do the real god's allow such acts?

Answer 1

Definitely.
Do Humans feel pain when they were killed for no reason?

Answer 2

The one who says animals feel pain to some degree but not like humans is full of it. Animals feel pain every bit as much as other life forms, i.e. humans. How much pain an animal feels as it's being slaughtered depends on the method of execution. It's supposed to be humane but we're really only guessing, aren't we? I don't think it's a matter of God "allowing such acts" as God doesn't interfere. You might as well ask why God allows a cheetah to kill a gazelle to feed her cubs. That's a brutal, violent act, isn't it? And it's part of nature. Well, we slaughter and go to the supermarket and that's how we hunt.

And I sure as heck don't believe for one minute that God put animals on this earth for us. We are ALL animals and are all part of nature (although humans have become very UNnatural) and if things hadn't turned out the way they did, we ourselves would be food and fodder for something else!

And what's this tripe about an "undeveloped fetus"? That can only be an embryo and an embryo has a primitive nervous system at week 3.

Answer 3

Yes they do. I am a animal lover and I watch animal planet often. The vets always state that the animal must have been in a lot of pain. Also When a animal is hurt unexpectally they yell and cry out. I feel yes they hurt just like we do but they can't express it in the same way.

Answer 4

of course animals feel any type of sensation whether good or bad. Women have no choice but to bare the pain of childbirth which was bestowed upon us due to the act of eve's stupidity. I don't feel like the god's "allow", these acts its the way of life. If we don't kill them for meat some thing else will.

Answer 5

Yes, just as my cat feels pain if I step on his tail. God is very aware of the pain which humans are inflicting on animals, but he never asked us to do it for any pleasure reasons.

God knew that it would be hard for us (well, should be if we listen to our concious) and this is why He chose animal sacrifices for a way to redeem yourself from sin. It was a way to show people how awful sin really was, because it resulted in the pain of an innocent being who does not deserve it. Makes you rethink doing things when it will cause that kind of effect. ;)

Answer 6

I think so. The meat packing companies don't put them to sleep before they slaughter them. I've heard that pigs are shot in the forehead to kill them quickly but I would think that for a split second they feel some pain. Cows are killed in different ways depending on the slaughter house.

I can bare a lot of pain. I have many times throughout my life. After feeling some of it, I wished I had died just to end the pain. But I wasn't being killed for food. Human suffering and animal suffering is done for different means (usually).

I know nothing about 'the real god' you are talking about. THE ONE AND ONLY GOD allows humans to kill animals for food because He told Moses and his family after the flood that they are allowed to eat meat. Before the flood, all people were vegetarians. Think about Moses and the others killing animals for food compared to nowadays. They had to trap them, hunt them, cut their necks open and let them bleed to death, skinned them... the animals back them greatly suffered and felt pain for a longer time than the animals today do. I think our methods for killing animals for food today is less painful and some is probably painfree. Yet there are still people over the world that hunt for their own food. Tribes in Africa and other areas. My father and I fish. The fish bites on a hook, is taken from the water, can't breath and live for a long time out of water before dying. Do they suffer? For a while because they are out of their element. But millions of people fish. Early people fished, the disciples fished. God put animals on this planet for His human creation to eat and survive. Meat has protein and other nutritions that aren't in fruits and veges. God created the earth in a special way so that His creation of humans can sustain live and enjoy His fruit, vege, animal creations.

If humans didn't eat animals, they would over populate the planet. Then we would have to kill them to defend ourselves. Like a bear attacking a family that is walking thru the woods. Why would a person just let the bear kill them? Doesn't he have the right to defend his family from a bear attack? Then after he kills the bear, is he just to let the bear decay and move one or can't he take the meat for food and the skin & fur for clothing? This is exactly what cavemen did. I truly believe that God put animals here for many reasons and food and clothing is one of them.

Answer 7

I don't think God (if he exist) would allowed such thing or create such thing,. This made me doubt that Allah is real. I think you are already atheist or in your way to be one.

Answer 8

Sorry my friend but an UNDEVELOPED FETUS most certainly feels pain.

Yes animals to some degree feel pain but unlike the pain you as a human being would feel.

Nature has it's way with animals and not every animal is designed for human consumption.

Answer 10

Yes, but an undeveloped fetus can not feel anything, funny how most pro lifers are not vegetarians.

EDIT: It is scientifically proven that a fetus does not develop sense recognition until the 3rd trimestor, when less than 1% of abortions take place. Research please.

EDIT: No, study biology, plants do not feel anything.
