Humans Kill animals and birds to satisfy their taste buds?

Question

Who has given them the right to Kill other living beings .There are millions of them butchered daily throughout the world.Animals are reared for human consumption..
Why do we complain and take a moral stand when a Human being is killed by an Animal accidently .

Answer 1

"because god said we could"
Oh great, the second people are asked to take responsibility for their choices they always fall to that excuse.
"I eat animals because god said it was ok!"i just happen to like meat and grease and not want healthy food...
"I kill people in other cultures because god says theyre bad and we just happen to have a use for their land at the same time!"
Is it just me or are all these statements just a little too convenient when humans don't want to take action against social injustice???

Well guess what, I will continue to be a vegetarian, and if your god doesnt like it he can send me straight to the hell that I don't believe in, and if caring about the environment is a sin then you can call me evil.

Answer 2

Ok, I'm a strict vegetarian and agree with you that it is wrong, however, I actually disagree with what you are kind of saying. I personally don't like the whole killing something else and then eating it, but I'm not saying it's wrong. Look at the animal kingdom. a food chain is there because it's the way the world works, other animals eat other animals and humans are animals, we are entitled to eat other living things if we desire, we don't have too, we don't depend on animals as we can survive easily without meat, but it is our right ordained by God, even Jesus ate meat, if you follow that, but you get the point if not. Anyway, my choice for being vegetarian follows more under what you said about animals being reared for human consumption. THIS is wrong. the way we treat animals is horrendous, meat eater or not, you can't deny that. Animals are not here to serve us, they are here to live among us in peace and have just an equal right to this world as we do, we created money and buildings that take up space and build our ego, not God. The Human race ought to be ashamed of ourselves for what we are doing to this whole planet, not just the poor animals.
And, accident or not, you are absolutely right about humans being killed, this is a two way street and is just as much their right to feed as ours.

Answer 3

If you believe in the Christian, Jewish or Islamic God, then he did, in several places.

If not, then nature. Do you complain when you see a lion killing a gazelle? I'm guessing not, it's natural to them. So why then do you complain when a human, which is also a meat eater by nature, also kills an animal for food? It's not as if people get their kicks out of it, but they do if for food, which in my opinion is more than a good enough reason.
A lion kills food so its species can survive; and that is how humans have always been too. We've always needed meat to survive and while that may not be strictly true now, meat is still a great source of food and it is still needed for good nutrition. There aren't enough veggie alternatives to feed the whole world, when you consider the nutrients that they'll need.
Similarly, a man complains when an animal kills a human because we are still looking out for our own kind. Humans need to survive too and if a bear starts killing people humankind will want to kill it to protect themselves. If you went and shot a lioness I don't think the rest of the pride would be best pleased either.

"If no one were allowed to farm animals, farms would grow crops instead. The first thing to go would be all the animals. Once the rural landscape were rid of cattle, sheep, and the like, fields would get larger, for the convenience of the combine harvesters, and hedgerows would go. Wild animals like rabbits would now be a more major pest. No farmer would want animals eating the plants, and so the war on such animals would intensify. Grown in the fields would be domesticate species of food crops, and so the number of plant species would decline."

Vegetarianism definately doesn't save any animals.

"In the wild, a sheep would have to look for food, compete for it, jockey for position in the herd, look out for predators, guard its offspring, and it one day would die because of some accident, perhaps a fall, some nasty illness, or it would become weak and have its throat ripped out by the local predators. By striking contrast, the life of a farmed sheep is rather different. A farmed sheep has complete protection from predators; all the food of exactly its favourite kind at its feet all day every day, for which it does not have to compete; no competition for mates; no need to guard offspring; free health care; free haircuts; it is very unlikely to die in childbirth, and unlikely to die a nasty death. True, half a ewe’s offspring are taken away and killed. However, in the wild, a ewe would lose most of its offspring anyway, and in nastier circumstances. By the standards of the natural wild, a sheep’s life is about as cushy as a life could possibly be."

This is true, animals in the wild invariably die violent deaths. the closest an animal will get to dying of old age is being picked by a predator because it it old and therefore an easier to target. Farmed animals invariably lead happier, healthier, less stressful lives than those in the wild.

Answer 4

Does a lion have a right to kill animals? Does my cat? Then why don't I?

If you are seeking some sort of ban on eating meat I am afraid you are never going to see it.

We don't take a moral stand against animals killing humans. Animals do not have a sense of morals, so how could we hold them to any kind of moral standard?

Animals do not kill (normally) other animals (or people) for fun. They do so either for food or due to a threat (real or perceived). Humans should be the same way: go ahead and shoot an animal that is a threat to your safety or if you are going to eat it, but don't shoot it for fun.

As for that BBC story, I find it funny - 30% of people who call themselves vegetarians eat chicken or fish. Therefore, 30% of vegetarians do not seem to know that chicken and fish are meat.

Answer 5

human beings have distinctive perspectives on diverse issues. i don't think of this is authentic to kill animals for human beings to consume. Does it ensue any different way around?! Up until those days I used consume meat lots simply by fact I under no circumstances relatively theory approximately what i replaced into eating. Now that disgusts me and that i'm happy i'm a vegetarian. :D

Answer 6

We complain and take a moral stand because we are able, and because we are the dominant species. The human race has come to see that we are at the absolute top of the food chain. Whether this is correct or not does not matter. As of now we have the power to overcome whatever natural forces threaten us. Mother nature forces us to use that ability.

Answer 7

No. If animals a re killing humans today its because their habitats and hunting grounds are being destroyed by the humans.

I HATE it when vegeterians cite KILLING or TAKING LIVES as a reason for looking down on non vegeterians simply because the vegeterians are also a party to the same deed. PLANTS are also LIVING BEINGS so when you consume vegetables and fruits you are still eating something which has life.

Being Vegeterian is GOOD I advocate it too BUT only because it is a Healthy alternative to a meat diet certainly NOT because its immoral to "kill animals " for food.

Answer 8

Because people have wrong minds. Example: they watch rated R movies. Example: They drive cars that add to global warming. Example: They kill animals. Yet when they die, they don't think that they are getting paid back for what they did. They think that there is a psycho animal on the loose and- lol- it should be shot.

Answer 9

You foolish person, humans have a right to kill animals. When animals establish laws that are enshrined in a political process then I'm sure they will agree.

Answer 10

Firstly i respectyour soncern for the animals that live around us . however the issue is raised when a human is attacked is BECAUSE WE ARE HUMANS WHO WOULD LIKE TO LIVE SAFER LIVES!!!!!
Secondly , people killing animala for consumtion legally is righ to survive but killing them illegally is what need to b stopped . this happens because there is a demand .
so i guess you need to see how things are happening around and try and ignore some things that happen you should try not being so very sensitive about it .
