hold up when

Well, I don't really care if you eat meat from a dying animal or if you eat meat that you've already paid for because at that point there's no choice. I'm not even massively opposed to hunting since it's a tiny dent on the animal population. I don't eat or buy meat because of disgusting and cruel conditions that tens or even hundreds of billions of creatures are subjected to every year. Optimally we would pass serious regulation to require these animals to be given better rights before eventually shutting down processed slaughter altogether. If you wanted meat you could go hunt it or eat one of the many replacement foods with identical nutritional value--however I'm not sure if you could safely digest meat with a 99% vegetarian diet because as someone with 100% veggie I certainly can't. I honestly believe that meat processing today is worse than slavery was in the US in the early 1800s--there are hundreds of animals for every slave and while both are treated horribly the animals live shorter lives and endure what is basically torture until they are killed to be eaten. I'd recommend anyone watch 'Earthlings' or 'Meet Your Meat' to see just how bad the conditions are. The latter comes from PETA and while they are a terrible organization the documentary isn't compromised by a material vision. Anyone who believes in basic rights should really try to wean themselves off meat and try to exclusively buy humane dairy.

I don't understand that. You know animals don't give a forget about us, so why do you care about them so much?

[Dreams_Of_Cheese]

good morning everyone what's going on in here

[Nonnel]

honestly, i get it. animals are living, breathing things just like us. the only difference is they aren't as intelligent. it is pretty horrible that we pack them together, treat them like stuff, breed them to eat them, and whatever.

that being said i'm not gonna stop eating meat anytime soon lol

Because people humanize animals to the point of absurdity. It's why some people put clothes on their pets and say that the pets love it. The pets don't feel anything, hell they don't even know what clothes or collars or what being a pet is. We just think the animals can feel and think to the same level we can when outside a few exceptions they really can't.

I don't think "giving a forget" is the factor which earns an animal humane treatment, lol. It's more about saving sentient organisms a life in horrible conditions only to be slaughtered.

False. Most mammals and birds can feel pain and proto-emotions (sentience). They are not as complex as humans (sapient) but they're not mindless unfeeling balls of carbon.

In fact what you said is about as ridiculous as the people who dress up their animals. If you expect an anthropomorphic display of emotion from a non-human, you're not going to find it for obvious reasons. Body language varies from species to species, so you have to know what to look for to deduce how an animal is "feeling."

Most arthropods though are incapable of feeling pain so that's why nobody cares about Asian cultures roasting thousands of tarantulas and beetles.

McZealot's line of thinking is pretty extreme but he's right that the meat industry is rather inhumane.

Pretty much yeah.

That's the cruel reality of nature though. Animals slaughter each other too. Why is it only bad when we do it? You don't see anyone crying about carnivores murdering other animals because they need food.

And don't pull that 'but we're omnivores' bullstuff. Plants are living organisms too. The fact they can't feel pain is just a stupid thing I hear too often. So it's okay to kill things to eat if it doesn't have a sense of pain? That's handicapped.

Plants and animals can't be compared because plants kind of don't have brains
