I asked the question before and I 'll ask it again in here.
I just want to know one thing. A number of vegetarians claim that eating meat is cruel and henious to animals. When you think about it, isn't eating veggie the same as killing?? Plants such as vegetable are also living beings. They have billions of cells going through them. So, is that not double standard?

For people who answer the question about the feeling of pain. What does pain gotta do with it?
If we kill animals painlessly and quick, would vegetarians change their mind?? The point is the result is the same, the living thing is dead.

I agree with it being the same, but the argument is that theoretically, plants are just cells that reporduce, and the item as a whole does not have a choice in how it grows or what it becomes. It also does not have a nervous system or consciousness, making "pain" not really possible in a plant.
The people who cry cruelty should register with their religion before throwing stones. According to Christianity for example, most of the animals were put here by God for us to eat, but in Hinduism, animals are sacred and should not be consumed.
Religion aside, why are we selective about the animals we eat? If we can eat a cow without a thought, why can't we do the same with a lion, or a monkey?
Moreover, would people be so worried about the pain of animals that we kill for food if they were the ones being killed by a bear, lion, or other carnivorous hunter-type animal? I can tell you that the lion isn't going to care about the pain it's causing you, just that you will be feeding it and it's young for their next meal.

I get so sick of hearing stupid questions like that one. A breathing animal is different than a plant having billions of cells.
