What do you think is more cruel, Hunting or Farming?

Question

Now Hunting, an animal has a chance ( may never see a human or be shot at)

Farmed Meats (meats you find in the grosery store like beef, pork, or chicken.) That animal is raised for slaughter, 100% going to die

For the record
I'm a hunter not a vegetarian

I and I know kids need to eat you retard, its just a question

Answer 1

farming is like the holocost in the modern factory farms & far more unhealthy with all the hormone & antiboitics & steroids they are fed its digusting & now they want to use cloning?

Answer 2

More cruel? maybe you think "farming" is a bunch of hicks running around all day kicking or beating animals. Perhaps you should visit a real farm. And no, the huge hog confinements and feed lots are not 'farms', they are factories. Farmers raise livestock, crops to feed the livestock, and their own families. Maybe you don't get it still. If the farmer abuses his animals, they cease to provide income for him. They become diseased, unable to produce milk, wool, or meat, and thus are useless.
What are you going to eat? Whatever it is, be it plant or animal, it is "100% going to die". You are also "100% going to die"... EVERYTHING is "100% going to die". Why don't you get a job and adopt a starving child, make a real difference to a feeling being. or at least adopt a cat or dog, they can at least mimic human feelings.


For the record, I don't think hunting is 'cruel'.To a deer, Whats the difference between being shot by a gun or ripped apart(while still alive) by a coyote? Nature is cruel(thus, the 100% everything is going to die), so grow up. Life sucks for human and non human animals, and I'm sure the plants don't like being eaten either.

Oh, and one more thing... let's say everyone in the world stopped eating any animal product... guess what(who?) just became your biggest competitor for our new food source- plants? The animals... so do we wrestle them for it, or just kill ourselves to save them from starving?

Answer 3

I'd say farming - especially farming where animals are in pens rather than in wide open paddocks and fields.

ie battery hens and high populated pens - now that is being mean.

As for hunting - at least the animal has a chance of getting away, and may not even be found. They are usully slaughted before they even know what is going on - with farmed slaughters they are usually stuffed in transporters and driven hundreds of miles before being forced into a non natural surrounding ie meat works where they are then killed. I bet the animals are a lot more stressed in that situation than in the pervious.

Answer 4

Neither.

What is cruel is to perpetrate the misguided philosophy that humans are "bad" and nature is "good". Nature is far, far more cruel than any human.

We are part of nature, omnivores, that are extremely adaptable in what we eat.

Answer 5

neither are cruel. if animals are not hunted the number will grow out of control. when this happens disease will take hold.the y will also start interbreeding and this will cause much deformity. as long as one eats what is killed then god says it is ok

Answer 6

i'd say that hunting is more cruel because the animals are wild and free and then it is all taken from them so suddenly, a lot of times for no reason than pure pleasure.

farming is cruel in a way, but most farm animals are domesticated and couldn't really live in the wild anyway. at least there is a method to the madness. and people need to eat. it's sorta a necessary evil.

Answer 7

Neither one of them, They both serve a useful purpose..No matter what you eat, whether its plant or animal has to be killed first before you can eat it.. I rest my case...

Answer 8

neither is cruel as long as you are not wasteful and consume all you kill or purchase.

Answer 9

lol. Go back to the VAGitarian section.

Answer 10

Cruel is letting kids starve.................
