If not why is it wrong for humans to do it? After all we are just animals (homo sapien).

This is not a forum to defend being vegan I just want an answer to the question.

No. It's a part of natural selection.
I have a problem when humans
do it because we use cowardly
methods. We manipulate the
world's resources to make
firearms for hunting, captive bolt
guns and automated slaughter
lines. If you can't kill an animal
in hand to hand combat you
should let and let live and feed
on something else.

If you live in the desert and hunt and kill lizards and eat them, there is nothing wrong with that. I also am not against people in cold snowy areas killing reindeer and using their furs and bones as a means to survive as well. It is part of the natural order of things and allows for the fittest to survive.
raising cattle and killing all of them, regardless of which is fittest or letting them live a normal life is different. it is destructive and causes harm to the environment (farming in south america... im not even getting into the rainforest issue).
I do not eat meat. I do not hunt. Personally I'd just rather not to, but I'm not going to frown upon some one, who doesn't have frozen veggie burgers around the corner.

Many vegans and vegetarians i be responsive to and consistent with statics do not consume meat simply by fact of how terrible meat & dairy is for human intake. yet one greater reason is the full unnatural production of animals and that they certainty they are murdered. of direction plenty do in comparison to every physique being abused or tortured animal or not.

We're fine with that. The animals need to do that to survive. Humans don't, and we do it brutally even though we don't. There are so many resources both on and off the Web that support what I'm saying. Don't listen to foxhunter and those other users that say it's perfectly natural to eat meat. It isn't.
Anyway, we find it fine (a little unsettling, but at least it's NATURAL), if one animal kills and eats another.

Vegans (the puppets of PETA) don't think humans even BELONG on earth. They speak of man as some sort of invading alien species that does not even have the right to crush a blade of grass. Humans are a major part of the food chain (and we also happen to be at the top) and the so-called circle of life. Our actions, good or bad, are part of the natural order of everything.

Vegans have many reasons for being vegetarian. One is to conserve nature. In nature it is natural for one animal to eat another, so vegans have no problems with that.
For humans, it may be a way to help nature find its balance again, since we have completely upset it. One look at the oceans, and you can see what we have wrought.

I don't particularly like it but Its the natural circle of life. Vegans choose not to eat animal products for many different reasons. First and foremost there are so many alternatives that its not necessary for survival as it was centuries ago. Secondly animal products are not healthy. However, the tiger living in the wild doesn't have the option to order some pita with sprouts and avocado lol...........

Generalizations are bad things, so no one person can fully answer your question for all vegans.
However, in the wild animal world, eating other animals is often needed for survival. A wolf cannot run to the Qwik-e mart and pick up some gardenburgers to supplement his protein intake.
Humans, however, do not need meat to survive and CAN run to the Quik-e mart and pick up gardenburgers. We choose to eat meat simply for pleasure.

Are animals raised in the wild raised in factory farms?No.Animals are programmed to know what food is,we're not,we choose what we eat.Other animals require meat to survive,humans do not.Animals in the wild aren't kept in cages and given hormones and anitbiotics.They have a delicate life cycle. Raising animals for food like this isn't natural...http://meat.org/

i think that's silly. some animals naturally have to kill each other to live. survival of the fittest. i don't think it's exactly possible to turn a leopard into a vegetarian. do you get what i mean? hopefully? =D
