Question to my fellow vegs?

Question

to make both parties happy(omnivores and herbivories) what do u think would b the best way to kill an animal? Humanely?
i think that they should sufficate them or something painless....

Answer 1

In a meat packing house a bolt or sledgehammer to the brain is quick and relatively painless. In the field a bullet or an arrow work quite well.

Answer 2

Sufficating them is not painless, the best way to do it is to let them die naturally. This is the wrong section to ask how to kill an animal, the hunting section would have people who know how to do that.

Answer 3

There is no such thing as killing an animal humanely if you are doing it for the sake of your taste buds.

Suffocation? Are you serious? I'm afraid that suffocation is one of the most painful and traumatic ways to die.

The fastest way to kill them would to rapidly fire three bullets into their brain to make sure that they lose consciousness.

Answer 4

Humanely either by oxygen reduction methods or my putting them to sleep.

Oxygen reduction methods is the slaughter methods PETA wants KFC to kill its chickens. This is done by replacing the oxygen with an inert gas, before the chicken die they pass out peacefully. Some studies involving this method have been done and it was found that the chickens showed no signs of struggle in death.

Answer 5

When herbivores are unable to find enough food (pasture) and are in jeapordy of both starving and damaging teh pasture on a permanent basis, kindness has to take into consideration the pain in starving, the prolonged damage to the ecosystem, and at the same time the food needs of omnivores.

My ancestors, the Delaware, felt that as mankind interferes with the lands available for herbivores to feed on so that we can grow our own food, it becomes incumbent on us to watch for evidence that pastures are not being overbrowsed. Now if carnivores remain at large pasture failure happens mostly when a drought cuts production. Then it becomes an act of kindness to harvest excess herbivores for the protection of all.

Should the slaughter be humane? at least as humane as when a wolf slaughters, at least as humane as when starvation kills. But we can do better.

Our tools for hunting were not as good as we would have wanted. Yet we were driven to spare the animals a worse death, and to feed our own families, who would often also be hungry if there were a drought. There did not appear to be an ethical alternative.

Answer 6

The best way, is to wait the animal die by himself after a fullfill happy life of freedom.
Kill humanely is a non-sense. How can you kill someone and said it was "humanely done"? Except if the term "human" mean "barbarian"?
More seriously, for me, kill "humanely" mean "kill without any pains someone who was suffering so much that he wanted to die, and only if have no way to stop the pain and to save him". So this definition cant be use when you talk about killing animals for your own-food. ;-)

Answer 7

How about not killing an animal and make all vegetarian foods, they can be really good you know. I don't think there is a real way to kill them painlessly, especially large animals.

Answer 8

There is no ehical way to do that. If there is any, who is going to monitor that? You? Me?

Vegetarianism is about dealing with physical-moral-intellectual balance...working towards the root of all cause!

Answer 9

You think suffocation is painless??

Answer 10

The most humane way is the method defined by the laws of Halal and Kashrut. Essentially by exsanguination. Both of these codes of religious dietary laws are quite careful . . . after centuries of us . . . to make sure the most humane method of slaughter is used.
