Should we eat them?

I feel that animals are made to be eaten by man, if yo believe otherwise please let me know.

I dont mind any vetatables or fruit, Human's are predators unfortunatly, and to eat meat is normal for us. If people don't want to eat meat, that's up to them, but I'm not stopping.

I believe the same way. Animals are here for our benefit, which certainly includes eating. That's the way the whole living world is set up - the animals that can catch other animals and eat them, catch other animals and eat them..

Sure, eat animals.  But I adopt a rather Native-American approach to animal usage.  If you're going to kill a cow, then use it's meat for eating, it's skin for leather, and it's bones for weapons.  Our society is way too damn wasteful.

I love meat, but stark is rite. We do waste aloy of parts, but some parts are ment to be wasted. Like cow tounge and pig holves. Who the hell wants to eat tounge and holves?

I agree with Aorn and Syle 'cept I think that it would be better to be vegitarians. It's healthier and you don't have to kill anything. Not like that's gonna happen anytime soon.

Strictly vegetarian has way more of a healthier reputation than it deserves.
You cannot get the same protiens and nutrients from nuts and grain.
It's close, but not the same.
Our diet depends on some meat!

All the rest do it! Why shouldn't we?

the strong and the smart eats the weak and the dumb, that's the way of live, has always been that way and it always will...

Even if people think they shouldn't eat animals, Who's going to listen?
About 90 % of all people eat meat. (meat as in any kind of meat, included moslim and jews etc.)
I think it would be good if people would stop eating meat, the average person in our environment is too fat anyway.
It would be a good idea, I'm not saying its possible however. You might find this a hard term but I like to think that people are addicted to meat.
I am and you are probably just as much. Just eating salad's won't keep you alive and those soja-beans stuff isn't really <SPAN class=txtterm>esculent to me.
anyway, keep on the conversation ;-)
</SPAN>

about the "getting fat" issue, people should just go out more, they sits on there asses in front of the TV or the computer (like I do right now ;)).      people should definiatly (think it's spelled that way) go out more, to get a job there you HAVE to go out and do things, like an electrician or a construction worker and not installing computers...

oh yeah, like jinxz said...    you can never get people to stop eating meat, won't happen

The reason people get fat by eating meat is by the way they cook it, for example Hambugers are full of fat but if you were to cook it home made and drain most of the fat its not that bad. As for every one not eating meat, think of the problems that might occur, over population of animal, millions of jobs go away, and people will have cravings and go crazy!

I agree with Alexander. We prepare our meat in a way that maes us fat. What could have possesed people to stop eating meat altogether. I see no sense in doing such, besides giving up a healthy body. I believe animals should have no rights whatsoever. They can't talk, or engage in the productive activities a human can. They are only productive when they are killed and thier bodies used for meats, furs, glues, etc. Sure they have feelings, but they can't sue us. Not yet at least, as ridiculous as these animal rights people are getting, you could expect something like that soon.

We as humans were created to be vegetarians, genetically and spiritually.

What exactly do you mean by Genetically and Spiritually?

are you sure about that Sipher? I mean look back at the stone age, they did eat vegetables but they hunted a lot and fested on meat (so spiritual :))

genetically, yes I agree.  for example: our teeths are made as vegetarians...  dogs' are not

humans are omnivores. In order to survive we need to eat VEGETABLES AND MEAT. If you want to load yourself with vitamins and minerals it aint my problem but that shouldn't be too healthy.

Animals should have the right to not be hunted to extinction other than that no

I must agree with chaos on this topic. Our bodies need all the goodies that both meat and vegies give us. :GRIN:

All I can say is steak is freakin good. =)

Animals are yummy. :D

Sipher: Uh, no we weren't.

Look Aytros! we actaully agree on somthing.  im a meat lover all the way!

and sipher, sorry pal, but, with our preasent bodys, we couldnt have been created  to be vegitarians, we wouldnt live very long as people group, in that we need  certain proteins to be healthy that only animals have.  and you can go out and eat soy beans and other nonmeat proteins, but, it really doesnt help your body the same way.

Hey vegys look at it this way. If we didnt kill dear they would over populate and die out of desease.

<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Ha good point! Look meat isn't so bad, hell I would rather eat steak then corn (ah my arteries are killing me), and to add on to Patella comment, we're just killing them with are pollution, why not end the suffering and have a meal at the same time eh?</SPAN><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

Here's a better point.
If we didn't kill cows by knocking them out, they would get completely ripped apart and mauled by wild animals.. soo...

Yeah most farm animals are far to attuned to the serving life that they living, and could not survive in the Nature anyway.

no we still eat em we were ment to eat them

What?

What do you mean waht?
If you missed something then read up.

*confused*

The what was meant for dragonblades post. I don't understand what hes trying to say.

OOOOOOO

yah, poor kids got some issues..
He means were made to eat them, so eat em!!!

Oh thanks for clearing that up.
