I am. I am a vegetarian and someday plan to be a vegan. Killing animals is wrong...especially for fur. You dont NEED fur to stay alive so why wear it? It's ugly and wayyy expensive. It's also sad to know how the animals are being killed...does anyone else feel the same way?

i think everyone should try to become a vegetarian. i used to love hamburgers and ribs and steak...but now i dont miss them at all!! they build up cholestrol and are fattening..yes they have protein but i get it from nuts and soy...veggie burgers are my obsession!

I don't have or wear fur although that doesn't bother me (what clothing did God provide Adam and Eve when they left the garden of Eden?), but I don't mind killing for food or research.
As a university student I was a research assistant helping to conduct research on Hypertension, a MAJOR factor in heart disease and death in humans. The research led to a new class of medications called ACE inhibitors and has improved the lives of millions of people with hypertension and heart disease. Without this research those people would be worse off and most of their lives shortened.....this is a medical fact. In addition to the research for hypertension, animal research has contributed great advances in the treatment of Diabetes another widespread killer of people from all walks of life.
These are merely two examples of the benefits of animal research......and the lives saved are worth it.
I would not kill an animal just to have it stuffed as a trophy, but I will kill for a purpose such as food or other uses.

Vegetarianism's not good for animals: for a start the meat industry is booming at the moment; secondly if enough people went veggie to actually affect the industry at all, and the demand for meat decreased, it would mean animals which were surplus to requirement. You're kidding yourself if you think that would mean they'd live happily ever after, as they couldn't be sold no one would want to keep them, and they'd still be slaughtered.
Think about it, the second farmers couldn't sell their livestock, the second they couldn't make a profit, they wouldn't keep them any more. Keeping animals isn't cheap, and to keep them, without profit, would be hugely expensive to any farmer. How many do you reckon would be prepared to make that kind of loss?
Now, what'd happen then? Maybe a few wild pigs or goats would stay alive, but for the most part it would be impossible to release them into the wild. The vast majority would have to be slaughtered.

I quote "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."

Domestication is one of the best things that can happen to animals. If the golden eagle tasted any good you can bet your life it wouldn't be nearly extinct.

I'm not a vegitarian but I don't think it's right to kill. Sounds wrong I guess because a hamburger is one of my favourite foods. I don't wear fur because that's just wrong. I can do just as good with another material for winter. I could very easily become a vegitarian though.

Killing animals is wrong, no matter what the circumstances. There are plenty of foods we can eat and get everything we need nutritionally, it just has to be planned out. Humans do not need fur to survive or we would have our own. Would you like it if someone liked your hair and wanted to scalp you? I didn't think so.

i'm a animal lover such as you I even have seen canines and different animals get hit via autos via out my life and it freaks me out! to appreciate they're in such God undesirable soreness! 30 million canines and cats are positioned to sleep each and every 12 months in shelters around the country right here in the US. The animal abuse is undesirable around the globe he worst place is China then Korea, Philipines and Japan. The SICKEST element I observed on t.v some years in the past replaced right into a guy in China slaughtering a damaging dogs whilst the dogs replaced into alive! They make fur coats out of dogs and cat fur and dermis them alive then hold close hm on a mea hook as howdy slowly die! Then the chinese language sell the canines and cats fur to Russia! his has been happening for YEARS and he chinese language won't stop it! The chinese language alongside with the Philipine and Korean human beings consume canines and cats! the eastern slaughter the damaging dolphins primary in the sea it relatively is a terrible blood tub! Paul McCartneys previous due spouse Linda tried to help shop the animals from being abused and examined on in labratories. Paul remains a vegatarian. I infrequently consume meat if I do i've got self belief responsible understanding the animal replaced into as quickly as alive and now's someones lunch or dinner. the main abused animal is the chicken and cow thousands and thousands are killed each and every 12 months to feed human beings, I consume Soy Veggie burgers and soy chicken like Paul does and that they style like actual meat! I even have rescued 3 canines that have been homeless and abused ,a million homeless cat a million abused parrot in the process the previous 25 years. My animals are like my kinfolk to me. i won't understand how human beings can basically kill animals?! I swear if I ever get a large type of money i'm beginning a animal santuary to absorb all sorts of ignored and abused animals and enable them to rome unfastened and be happy, I donot like cages.

ROCK ON! I too was a meat eater, but after learning how the animals are treated, I simply could not do it. I have been veg for to years now, and the thought of eating a dead animal turns my stomach. There is a very disturbing video of how badly they are treated at peta.org. Not for the faint of heart. Congrats to you on being a veggie. We rule, dont we? Nothing screamed or bled or died for me to eat.

i am a meat eater, but that doesnt mean that it really pains me to know what is going on in slaughterhouses
and then when people waste meat like the way they do!
but personally i cant think that going veg is helping as much as what people want to believe it does, there is just way to many people eating meat, and the only way to make them stop is to completely ban the eating of meat, and i can see a lot of nasty protests comming out then.
there must be something else we can do?!

good grief, good thing you didn't live 50 years back in time. killing animals for their pelts was just a part of life. People today have way to much time on there hand. Idea for you... Grow up and go to your local supermarket and buy a nice T-bone steak and cook it rare with a little bit of blood still visible.... Eat it and STFU

Save a animal... eat a PETA supporter
