why is it that most people think eating fish and cutting out all other animals are OK??

Question

it doesn't matter if it walks or swims, animals are not our meat to consume.

Answer 1

Just remember that more people voted for their "American Idol" than voted for president! As a matter of fact most people also think that Benjamin Franklin was a president! Most people still think Saddam Hussein carried out the 9/11 attacks and most people still think the best way to support troops is to put a Chinese made magnetic sticker on their SUV. Most people are morons.

Answer 2

Some people eat 1 type of meat, when they become"vegetarians" because they feel like they don't get enough nutrients without it.

Most people choose fish as they feel that fish are less intellegent and have less feelings. They do not suffer as much as other animals.

Some people also have the idea that fish is not meat because in the catholic tradition of not eating meat in fridays, they we still permitted to eat fish on fridays and it was not considered meat.

I personally think eating fish is the worst thing a "vegetarian" and choose to eat because it is the most environmentally dodgy meat to eat. When animals are farmed for meat, they might be treated cruelly and die painfully and knowingly... BUT they are farmed for this purpose.

When they fish they just go and rip fish of many species out of the sea without concern for how this effects the eco-systems where they are removed from. we don't know anything about the sea really, and we are distroying it without even knowing that we are doing it - and fishing is the cause.

Answer 3

1. Because fish grow on trees.
2. Fish don't scream when being slaughtered
3. Fish are not as cute as a playful calf

IIDX Chem,

Plant sap is not blood. Animals have nervous systems and feel pain. Plants don't. Besides, animal production kills way more plants than direct plant production.

It's not true that "certain amino acids" are found only in meat. If you're referring to taurine, humans don't need taurine. Cats do. All amino acids that we need are in plants. And I think a bag of rice and a bag of beans are cheaper than a cow of the same weight.

Answer 4

Look at the nature why lions are eating antelopes?

We know that meat is necessary for brain ,and development of children .You cant break the nature's rule

Answer 5

Fish is the healthiest compared to other meats.
Do you mean to ask why these people still claim they practice a vegetarian diet?

Answer 6

Since most people eat many mammals without any problem, you're
already assuming things that aren't true.

In any case, "not our meat to consume" is a matter of opinion. Clearly
we know where you fall on this issue, but (as I said before), you are
easily in the minority.

Personally, I think needlessly killing anything is morally bad, but
eating an animal as food, using its skin as leather, etc, just puts
us somewhere in the food chain.

Believe me, when that lion finally drops out of the tree on you
and has dragged you off to its den, you're not going to be able
to convince it that morally it shouldn't be eating meat.

Answer 7

basically because they are part of the food chain..animals are provided for other animals to consume, and they in turn are provided for you to consume.

what do you think if one of them is gone? extinct? exactly, the whole food chain is affected..that is why natural habitats are being preserved, even artificial reefs and forests are created so animals will continue to exist and co-exist with one another.

people have their own beliefs and point of views..other nationalities don't eat pork, others don't eat beef (even get down on their knees and worship them), and others prefer the vegetarian type.

whichever you prefer, you are still part of the food chain, and will always stay that way.

Answer 8

The Bible mentions Fish in several Books as a supplement to Life.
I do not know if other animals are mentioned as Food but Fish are not only in the Bible they are known to be "Brain Food" because of the vitamins and enzymes in their meat! I Love Fish and all Seafood!
They are ours to consume in order to Live.

Answer 9

Good point, but they are having a go at doing what they think is right.

Answer 10

Oh yes they are!!

If you wanna talk about living organism. Vegetables are living organism too, with cells in them.
The cells proliferate and grows.

Why are plants different from animals then? Talk abt blood in the animal, you have plant sap.

The human race requires certain amino acids that is only found by taking meat. Substitutes are available, but it usually cost more than a slab of beef/ fish.

I love vegs a lot too dun get me wrong, but don't mix MORALITY with diet necessity together. That is wrong
