Who cares? Just do what you want, as long as its within the law. This is such a trivial question.


Is it? Some of the things that they do to the food on your plate/cow on your jacket would def be considered animal abuse in Canadian law if they were housepets.

I believe:

aminals don't exist for me to eat.

animals don't exist for my entertainment (circuses etc)

animals don't exist for me to wear

In different times perhaps it would be acceptable to kill animals for their warm fur or leather but that's no longer needed. Furthermore, it's truly unfortunate that the animals who are killed for leather are not the same who are killed for their meat, it's really wasteful and cruel.


+ infinity. I completely agree.

You are extremely uneducated. You keep making statements that make no sense and are completely false


Actually, it appears that you have mistaken as well. There is more than enough food to feed the entire population. The problem isn't a grain shortage, but rather an even distribution of resources.

Contrary to your belief, I am extremely educated and continuously make factual statements.


Yes your statements that vegetarians are terrorists and are going to hell are extremely educated and factual

From a biological standpoint, you're supposed to eat animals and it's actually benefitial in maintaining a stable balance.
The limiting factor in a biome is the abundance of herbivores so they're meant to be eaten or else the population would rapidly grow, overshoot, have instant death and cycle back and forth between minimums and maximums. Of course this is an extreme case but the way I see it is that it's okay to eat any animal that isn't endangered or whose population is in check.

I don't much for animal abuse for the animals you eat but for domestic pets I do care.

Caesar F_uck off with your sig


That's a terrible attitude, I believe that a simple ideal like "everything deserves to live" is something you should strive for. I mean, you may kill a mosquito now and then, and not everyone can pull off the vegetarian diet. It's very relative what animals are for eating, and which are for pets, in some countries horse and dog can be eaten, and people have all kinds of pets these days.
