This is about the lowest humanity can go. Unacceptable and horrific. This must stop now and people need to be held responsible. Makes me ashamed of my own species...
@C48813 Allow me to say it again, exactly as I said in the first place: "The fact here is that it doesn't matter if we humans are 'naturally' vegetarians. Why? Because we're not living in a natural world anymore."
Although you are correct, your point is irrelevant.
Just because we are capable of eating and digesting meat -- and have been doing so for a long time -- doesn't mean that continuing to do so is the best thing for ourselves or our planet.
Far too many of us americans make the conscious decision to remain ignorant of facts. The fact here is that it doesn't matter if we humans are 'naturally' vegetarians. Why? Because we're not living in a natural world anymore. Over the last 100 years, we have changed the world in extremely negative ways. Whether you care about the way companies treat animals doesn't matter, but you should care not only about your own health, but the condition that we're leaving the planet for future generations.
Here's one statement for vegetarians if humans shouldn't eat meat then why are our teeth designed to tear, slice and grind the fact is we are omnivores we need mixed diet of meat and plants to get our vitamins, minerals, protein, fibre and enzymes if we were purely vegetarians we would be as active as plant material takes longer to digest than meat.
@C48813 Good points, but if you do some research, humans are not natural omnivores (as most people think), we are actually vegetarians. Our intestines are long, we don't have teeth designed for ripping flesh, but to grind grains and chew plants. These are not pro-vegetarian points, but factual human anatomy.
@haydenvegan Your confusing taxonomy and diet our bodies are similar to the great apes and the only purely vegetarian great ape is the gorilla and they spend most of there time eating and resting to digest plant material as it takes a long time to digest because of cellulose which we cant digest fully. Our closest relatives chimpanzees are like us they are omnivores and are more active than gorillas as they eat meat and plants and can easily digest meat proteins.
@haydenvegan I beg your pardon? I usually have to deal with ambiguous comments but what you're saying is just basically false. Our guts and teeth both are unlike pure herbivore guts and teeth. Sure, humans can eat plants. But we can also eat and process meat. In fact, we process meat more efficiently than we process plants!
Humans are clear omnivores. Your lifestyle choice is your own, not based on human anatomy.
@haydenvegan (continued)... stop with trying to make everyone a Vegetarian. We are at the top of the food chain because we are the most cunning and smart, still that does not make us, in any way, good stewards of the less powerful creatures on our Earth. I think that they should make it so it's not as cruel to the animal when slaughtering them, then again, you ARE killing them, so.
@haydenvegan Not Natural? Oh so now, evolution and adaption are not natural... Okaaay. I get the points on fish and I don't like to eat it very often, but in the last few years, fishing regulations have change a lot. Anyway tho, PETA or any other group is not going to effect thousands of years of Human culture, very drastically. I understand not being cruel to animals, but they were put on Earth by God to be eaten, I think PETA should start focusing more on regulations on this and..
@StrainChain Yeah i see what u mean as the fish do go through more pain than other animals and it isn't fair but we still need to eat and eating both meat and plants is better than just purely meat or plants.
@C48813 But that still does not justify cruelty toward another living thing. In modern day we have the ability to not eat meat and be healthy. If everyone stopped eating meat for a few months to strike animal production factories then those factories would have to change their ways. Back when people needed to hunt for their food they were greatfull and understood the life of the animal. Now all people think meat magically show up on supermarket shelves and doont care where it came from.
@StrainChain Not all animals we eat are raised in factory farms (which i think is cruel). Some are still raised on proper farms and are well looked after and the way most animals are slaughtered now is by passing and electric current through its brain so they are unconscious and cant feel anything then there necks are slit killing them instantaneously. And to me that's more humane than shooting them. The only things i would say were cruel is factory farming or killing infant animals.
@C48813 And I agree. The only reason why I dont eat meat is because of the cruelty animals go through. I also only buy free ranged eggs. I dont know if I would still eat meat if I knew they were taken care of, but the problem is when I go out to eat it's just to hard to know where the meat came from. So I just dont eat it.
Wow, those are pretty good arguments. I don't eat meat, but I always figured fish was different. I guess I'll start eating less of it, although can't imagine quitting cold turkey.
You people do realize these facts only have a hint of truth to them.For example most fish aren't intelligent nor capable of complex thought.Some sea mammals and creatures similar to the octopus are capable of this.Sea life is a very broad term and the title mentioned fish.Neither a dolphin or an octopus is a fish.Also fish is actually very beneficial to health.It contains omega 3 fatty acids and other beneficial supplements that I'm not going to note.Feel free to look them up.I didn't realize i
Intelligence is a debated term, one thing we can agree on is these fish & sea-mammals are capable of pain & conscious. Which means the argument is still on for why it is morally right for harm to be caused to them when alternatives exist. As for the omegas, plenty of plant sources for that ranging from hemp to linseed to various seeds.
The reasons given in this video aren't so easily dismissed in the categories of ethics & environment, you've done nothing to combat that
@TheTvrulesthenation Implying plants cant feel to and also look at gorillas there great apes like us but the're purely vegetarian and don't move around as much as chimpanzees or us because plant material takes longer to digest than meat and they have to eat more to get the same amount of nutrients as carnivores get by eating meat. Chimps are like us they are omnivores we need both which gives us an advantage against pure carnivores or herbivores.
Firstly plants do not feel pain & im not even bothering to argue this if you believe so.
Secondly i care little for cross-species comparison of their physiology in different environments to gauge what A) our diet should be and B) what our morals should be.
And as pointed out by me this video does little to address environmental or ethical reasoning for not eating fish, it is highly damaging to the environment when fishing occurs commercially let alone the pain it puts on billions of fish
I sincerely hope you are taking the piss because it is quite disconcerting that somebody who clearly has a decent level of knowledge believes something a 13 year old highschool biology student could disprove easily.
@TheTvrulesthenation No i am not taking the piss there is an episode of mythbusters where they linked a polygraph to a plant and when they cut it there was readings on the polygraph so go watch it and you will see that they do have feelings.
Yes and if you watched the rest of that episode you'd have seen it deemed unverified, similarly (bar the physicists of the show doing the test) it is totally unsupported by the biological community.
Alterations to an environment does not equal sentience or ability to feel pain no more than a sperm who shares the same characteristics being aware
I'm not even going to answer that question, rewatch the episode & do some casual reading on sentience & what is required for pain registration in an organisml.
@TheTvrulesthenation Plant Brain: Each root apex harbours a unit of nervous system of plants. The number of root apices in the plant body is high and all brain-units are interconnected via vascular strands (plant nerves) with their polarly-transported auxin (plant neurotransmitter), to form a serial (parallel) nervous system of plants.
@TheTvrulesthenation The computational and informational capacity of this nervous system based on interconnected parallel units is predicted to be higher than that of the diffuse nervous system of lower animals, or the central nervous system of higher animals/humans.
Whatever the hell you just copied and pasted was not referring to plants because they do not contain nervous systems as a brain is required, there are two types of nevous systems central & scattered (humans and say lobsters respectively).
There is also 0 reason for a plant to contain nerves as their evolutionary function is locomotion away from the source for survival, something plants cannot do due to their roots
@TheTvrulesthenation So even though it has been proved and i told u they do apparently you know better than the scientists that proved it yeah whatever.
@TheTvrulesthenation I have some philosophical questions to this scientific issue. How do we define pain? Is it a chemical response in general(based on evolutionary advantages of avoiding the cause, like tobacco plants have), or does it have to be including a nervous system that is like the human one?
I think it simply philosophically valid that just because we cannot associate with plants does not mean they have any less ability for pain, a similar leap to the vegan animal relationship.
Sensation to register pressure or other physical external stimulu is the umbrella branch, pain is merely one of the sub groups just like itch (an extremely mild irritant/pain) is another. If you are to accept plants can feel external stimuli you then have to accept that they experience a range of sensations from this & if you reject this notion you have to explain why.
Its clear in higher organisms how this works seek pleasureable sensation, avoid negative sensation (heat/pain)
You;d also have to argue for the link between reaction to external stimuli & cosncious ability to register what it feels. For eg sperm finds the egg by secreted hormones in a womans reproductive canal & they swim towards this, does this ability mean they are actually aware of what they are doing & can ''smell'' (for want of a better word) their way? Similarly is the hair standing up on your body when cold a conscious experience that you register occuring all over your body...no
Philosophy does not enter into this question at all, no more than it enters into can bacteria feel pain. We understand what is necessary for an organism to feel pain, whilst there may be a gray area plants are NOT the gray area. Rudimentary nervous systems appear in molluscs & shellfish which came long after plants & as i keep pointing out for a plant to feel pain would be a ridiculous evolutionary trait as they cannot move away
And of course there is a continuum in pain register
Are you going to try argue that various insects feel the EXACT amount of pain as say an elephant? Despite the ganglions of an insect being rudimentary in compariosn to an elephant?
Peter singer a bio-ethicist & strict vegetarian recognises this & virtually all of the scientific world.
Iv just noticed you are not C48113 but a new user who replied to me hence my angry tone in these replies as i felt i was repeating my argument
I actually think I'm going to drop the semi-joke that plants can feel pain in favour of this rather lengthy and extremely thoughtful comment on how nerves and evolution work.
I kinda want to assert philosophy has its place always as a hypothesis constructor but I think I will get it thrown back in my face with startling precision, haste and eloquence.
Again apologies if i came across rude on the offence. I mistook you for another user, i do believe philosohpy is important in science especially biological sciences where it mainly takes effect. However to classify plants under bio ethics would be ridiculous for the reasons i pointed out & i've yet to see people for the ethical treatment iof plants appear (though jains might disagree somewhat)
Every being in this galaxy has to be depend on other beings this is how is life cycle defined, In the same way Vegetarian is the intended diet for human beings based on their digestive system or their sense towards the other beings .. Well if you feel that eating plants and animals are same then eating animals and neighbor human beings is also same Plants do have life but their awareness/sense on their body is less when compared to that animals feel ..
@pradeepjuturu No it's not. Human beings, in addition to there being biological barriers for us not wanting to eat our own, are different to other animals. If you want to use the cognitive argument, we are self-aware, sentient, and capable of making tools.
The simple thing is, you draw the line at life forms that may be eaten after plants. I draw it before humans. Though I would allow cannibalism if both parties were willing, murder is wrong, killing animals in a humane manner is not.
That doesn't do anything to combat the arguments they have put forward and the facts they put forward. Regardless of what fish COULD be, Its not. Fact is the oceans are polluted and this passes to the fish & other species found in the sea, your hypothetical is irrelevant
I love duckcluck123's idea and it's mostly the damn republican their a bunch of ignorant asses the world would probably have flying cars and other futuristic stuff if it wasn't for the republicans
ok veggies and meat eaters: WE WILL NEVER GET ALONG! cant we both just keep our opinions about others to ourselves? I live on a farm. I eat meat. I dont really care if you dont.
@tylerisbig no, vegans cant stop crying because their goal is to end cruelty, and it doesnt stop with them not eating meat, if they had their way they would have genocides of meat eaters, those crazy vegans scare the living fuck out of me
OK if you don't like what the video is saying, DON'T WATCH IT!!!!! God, there is nothing more annoying than people bitching about other people's opinions! Yes, everybody has a right to their opinion, but no, they do NOT have the right to express it in a way that is directly offensive to others. You don't see me posting hateful comments on pro-meat videos, so stop posting your bitchery on pro-veg ones!
And you know what, GO EFF YOURSELVES, MEAT/FISH EATERS!!! (not so nice now, is it?)
@ChloeAmieLesFrancais Pro meat videos? Wow, sorry but we dont make those, unlike you veganliberalhippiedorks we dont need to try pushing our agenda and holier than thou attitude on everyone else.
You know whats not fair! Why the hell is it ok for animals to be carnivores, and its not ok for us to be? Damn...People put animals over another human beings life anyday! How about we feed the lions and tigers in the zoo salads and they will live a long healthy life! FUCK NOOO! They need meat to survive fuckers!
@OoRaHDaWg21 You fucking retard.... they are carnivores. We are omnivores that are capable of digesting vegetation. They need meat to survive , we don't. Please don't be stupid.
@XxgamerdavexX lol.... veganism is just part of the anti nature illuminati conspiricy by the reptilian masters and the illuminati, stop buying into it before its too late and they control your minds.
@OoRaHDaWg21 THEY need meat to survive. We don't. Why kill something that won't benefit you at all. Just for the taste? You can't immagine how ignorant that is.
@duckcluck123 are you delusional? Meat "won't benefit you at all?" How in the world could you defend the logic (or lack thereof) behind that statement?
The memory loss is true, I once ate fish while I was drinking beer,,,, And I forgot how to drive. But the next day i didn't eat fish, And I remembered how to drive again.
@mrjerrick Haha I'm an anti human faggot now? I'm an environmentalist and a vegetarian. This is ridiculous. Fighting over the Internet is retarded so let's stop this.
@ordinaryweirdo Sure.Yeah.Let's stop eating animals and let them eat all our vegetables and overpopulate the already overpopulated earth.They have feelings too!
@mrjerrick I just think that the animals should die naturally, not be hunted. But I would probably support it if the deaths weren't so painful and whatnot. I understand that we have very different views. But I don't want to argue over it.
@ordinaryweirdo They actually die painlessly , they use a bolt pistol to stun/knock out the animal before killing them.Except halal factories of course , where they slit their throats and wait for them to die.
question: how the hell do the now fish feel like us. i think that have instincts but i hardly doubt that they feel love or anger or amusement. have they asked fish personally "do you have feelings?" no i don't think so they don't know if they have feelings.
@ChampionWallace96 1.) Learn to spell 2.) You can get protein elsewhere, GO look it up... 3.) Learn to write a sentence 4.) Stop being ignorant 5.) Animals like tigers and lions, which are full carnivores, only take what they need. Humans generally strip the land and yield an ungodly amount of waste.
@HedgehogsRule101 Just think about it. There are so many animals, like cows, because we artificially bread them to keep with the production that the current market demands. Lower the demand and you'll see this issue piratically disappear. So the bottom line is, eat meat, and we all lose.
seems rly wrong this vid, i mean the mercury part sure that may be true but did you hear only tuna screws you up :O what about non marine creatures like trout, crayfish and lots more, also i hate the fact vegitarians rub there facts in our faces about this stuff i mean sure eating ONLY meat/fish can be bad for you thats why u have a balencet diet of fish , meat and veg. also most Veg and fruit is grown by the aid of Futiliser oh and whats one of the MAIN ones used? cow poo . Deal with it.
@SnakerockUK What about dolphin? The Japanese eat dolphin and some people wind up with mercury poisoning (Some companies decide to put it in their products and label it shark...) I think that the fish term goes to eating the animals itself either ALIVE or eating predators like Sharks or Dolphins. It's not advised to eat those prediators cause they have high mercury. It's the way people kill things that have them all angry. use CAK beef, pork, bird eaters. There is a humane way for fish too.
i dont like the part when some people do things like frying live fish while its still alive...speed-cooking...that's horrible, but humans are on top of the food chain and are meat eaters. Bears kill salmon and bit it in half and all and PETA doesnt prosecute them...:-/
@CaneFu Funny thing about the eating less fish thing you pointed out. I did the exact opposite - I eat less red meat and more fish and poultry, and was a piscapollotarian for a while. I snapped out of that when I hit puberty and needed the iron in red meat to maintain a healthy body.
The best idea to feed yourself? Listen to your body, it will tell you what and how much of something you need.
I agree that mammals such as whales and dolphins should not be killed, at least for the sake of sport, but some people depend on such items for survival. As for fish, two good reasons to eat them: Fun to catch, and great to eat! Also, it is well documented that certain types of fish such as shark and swordfish are high in mercury. So, do not eat them, just all the other tasty fish.
@lukrativ0922 The more predatory the fish, the higher the level of mercury they might contain. I'm against eating mammalian sea creatures. Fish are *freaking fish*. And they're freaking delicious, so man up and let us eat our damn sushi already.
@ThePhantomSafetyPin Uhh, I eat all kinds of fish and do not really pay attention to mercury or PCBs or whatever else they say is bad. I was being sarcastic towards PETA. I fish, bowfish, and eat everything I catch.
I wanna point out that arguing and trying to make a point on Youtube is a COMPLETE waste of time. No matter how much you all try to say that "Oh gosh it is so cruel to eat a fish" you will not change anything. People will still eat fish, so get a life and do something else.
A girl forgot how to speak and tie her shoes because of one can of tuna? If so, she probably has some other issue with tuna. I don't eat enough meat as I can't stand the texture, have low iron levels and don't get enough protein. I thank god there is tuna for us to eat as it is one of the few meats I like. Whenever I feel sick, i make myself a tuna sandwhich and I always feel better :)
@Maplygloby Hey, does that mean if we can breed pain-sensing nerve endings out of all farming animals that PETA will no longer have an issue with factory farming, since it's only "cruelty to animals" if the animal can feel the pain of the cruel act being inflicted upon it?
We've evolved to eat meat. It's been so for thousands of years. Simply going veg is not going to change a thing. You wanna help animals, donate to the ASPCA - they do a lot more for animals than PETA does.
they do not have souls...animals are animals...unless they can be domesticated..example- Dogs n Cats....God put animals on the earth for a reason...get over your pussiness and eat meat mother fucker
Isn't it healthy? Doesn't it improve memory? Dude look at the Asian people. They eat a lot of sea food and look how smarter they are in education then USA
@McFurry343 I think this video was very biased and only emphasized the unhealthy part of the fish. The mercury thing. And even that is what humans did to the fish, so the fish itself is healthy... but eating big fish, like salmon or tuna is risky because of the biomagnified levels of mercury and other toxins in them. Check out lists of safe fish to eat(like the ones from heal the bay). Also, im asian and im pretty sure the sea food isnt the key.
@ProductionsMashton Methane ADN Carbon Monoxide. And more cows is a bad thing? They give off Carbon Dioxide, like all species, which plants take in to reproduce into Oxygen, which we breathe.
I kick puppies, and step on hummingbirds. I enjoy taking long walks on the beach while dumping toxic sludge on the beach to kill sea turtles. My favorite activity is my daily cat beating. Honestly Petafiles, would rather see a fucking fish survive than their own species. They must have a mental disorder, that allows them to spread false propaganda, and create one large mindless mob of hippies. I assume PETAfiles want all predators dead? Pfft, food chain? Who needs that, when we have PETA.
WHen did your parents allow you to use the computer unsupervised? You sure do know how to spell alot of big words like "disorder". Maybe that is what it says on the label of the meds you take sweetheart.. One day you will grow up and realize that your parents should have educated you a bit more.. Dont judge them.. Im sure they loved you while they fed you all the great food you know and love that is killing you and the planet.. Sleep well...
1) A large jump in human evolution occurred when humans started eating fish. Even now, fish is important in development of the brain. Omega-3 is found only in large amounts in salmon.
2) You take in a large quantity of mercury when you get a vaccine. Sorry but giving only 2 isolated cases is just fearmongering. That 'expert' quote sounds 'fishy.'
3) yes, octopie are extremely intelligent. I regreted the only time I ate one. Fish however are not. Also whales and dolphins are not fish.
@calladuz Omega-3 can be found in flaxseed oil. Its also built in many vegan products. You said "only in salmon" so I dont know where you got that from?
@1LSUredneck Really they are smarter then your dog. I hate fish..I hated fishing when I went the only thing I noticed when we caught a fish was the blood.
@CannibalsEatAnimals rly...rly... karma will repay OMG NOT KARMA o wait it DOST EXIST YOU FAGIT if we dont kill the fish other fish will kill em porbly just as painful have u ever seen what sharks do to fish its most of the time worse then what we do
first off peta is notorious for doctoring "facts". secondly the fish farm thing is a bit ridiculous. they are feed lots of food to fatten them up, sounds like they had a good run. a better run in life than anybody who supports peta would have.
Oh this is bull shit. Fish is food. I personally don't eat it myself, but it's totally safe, humane, and the environment isn't damaged the slightest bit! This is like government brainwashing. Bad reasons and they're pathetic trying to get followers... And we need meat... PROTEIN...
@SkinnyV7X and more importantly, we need the iron, which is essential for brain functions, once peta makes us vegan pu ssys, we lose our iron, we losr our brains, and we all become stupid and do what ever they tell us to do, FUCK PETA FUCK VEGETARIANS FUCK VEGANS FUCK ANIMALS ( except dogs, cats, and hamsters)
@SkinnyV7X I must be special I dont NEED protein from meat, I get it from beans, peanut butter and grains. Some of the top body builders are vegan so I dont know where you got that from? Most get too much protein which is bad and they crap it out too lol. Fish do not have to be food to us, that is about as disrespectful and saying humans are food because we have flesh on our bones too. Not damaging the environment the slightest bit, right.
@AnimalsNeedu I didn't mean that, sorry =/ To be completely honest, I was a bit high when I posted that. Besides, I don't eat fish xD Never have anyway. Though, I do like kalamari =d
@AnimalsNeedu LOOOL 'i get it from beans, peanut butter and grains' ahahaha
What about all the animals killed to stop them eating the crops? What about all the animals homes destroyed to grow your delicious beans? What about all the polution and destruction that goes along with the massive operation to transport and shelve your food? What about the fact u are using a computer? hypocrite
You've probably killed 10 000 animals today and thats only the ones u count as '2 cute to eat'
im not against eating animals as other animals eat other animals so why cant we and yes other animals eat other animals alive. the only thing that is in humane is the way they are prepared i.e cooked in way so they stay alive.
Its not about peta but what we are doing. You will die someday, so you should suffer now? Big and strong eating meat, the milk and meat commercials got you, some of the top body builders are veg. You will get big as in fat or a heart attack.
More ignorance amongst meat eaters. I lived it for 10 years thus know a bit more than most. I also fly airplanes do you want to guess and tell me how to do that too since you probably have been on a plane now know it all as well?
peta is a terrorist org, without all of the fish cows and pigs the price of meat and fish would skyrocket and many low income familys would go hungry. The bottom line is that peta cares more about animals then people, they believe that it was wrong to find vaccines to chickenpox, anthrax, the flu, influenza B, hepatitis A and B, Polio, small pox, and many others because animals were used to test them. I dont support animal abuse but neither will i praise peta for human abuse.
So they are saying that none of these animals would hurt us, and that they all want to be our friends. I think that hunting only for fun is wrong, but if it is for our food, who cares.
wow who gives a flying shit about how smart a God damn animal is its fucking meat or in this case fish and they are all clearly stupid a fucking frog can feel pain and so can a bug and if anything is scarred its gona fucking run away fuck petta and im goin eat some fish in a gravy and watch a cock fight that is supposed to be banned or what ever bye
@duraldehunter Asshole, why are you spamming all the vegetarian videos? And for your info animals are very smart and have feelings. You sound like a fucking idiot.
@duraldehunter You are completely wrong. I live on a farm, and have my whole life. I am around many types of animals everyday. And I know that they have feelings, and they ARE NOT retarded. You and many other people are just to stupid to see it. Think about this real good, and Put yourself in there position, think about what you would feel like?
@fastr1337 VeganBodyBuilding (dot) com some of the top body builders, athletes such as ufc fighters, football players, olympians and even mike tyson is vegan. More than one way to get everything we need
if it is immoral for people to eat fish, is it also immoral for sharks? or hawks? or bears? human beings are a part of nature, not above it. And nature can be ugly too, hippies. don't be so fuckin juvenile. if industrial meat production bothers you so much, go out into to the woods and hunt and fish like our forefathers did. except you won't, because you liberal nancy-boys are afraid of of getting dirty. so fuck you
@flythegadsden Humans WERE a part of Nature, when we had small numbers and were hunter-gatherers. You can't say a species that skins cats & dogs, gives horrific treatement to cattle, pigs & chickens, kills any predator that has the "gall' to kill a human, and has made thousands of species extinct in it's epoch part of Nature as NO other species has ever done anything even close to our attrocities. Hunting is fine if done in Native Indian manner (praying to the animal's soul). (continue)
@flythegadsden... And we don't bring other animals to extinction. Same with fishing. And farming with be a dandy business.... If we DIDN'T ENSLAVE AN ENTIRE SPECIES!!! Chickens, pigs, cows, all were meant to be free. It isn't immoral for them as they do it to SURVIVE! We do not have to as, being omnivores, have a choice. And it seems many always choose the worst choice. But then again, what can I expect from humanity? 90% of ALL people are damned RETARDS!
Why are they showing dolphins? They aren't fish. I don't eat fish, but only because I don't like the taste. Hey, we need to eat too. Humans are meant to be omnivores. Also, PETAs the one that kills animals.
@CrazyCritters7 I was suprised too, but then I saw they are talking about sea animals in general. Anyhow, people can live just fine (most of the times even better) without consuming animal products.
Good thing I don't like fish

Although you are correct, your point is irrelevant.
Just because we are capable of eating and digesting meat -- and have been doing so for a long time -- doesn't mean that continuing to do so is the best thing for ourselves or our planet.

Far too many of us americans make the conscious decision to remain ignorant of facts. The fact here is that it doesn't matter if we humans are 'naturally' vegetarians. Why? Because we're not living in a natural world anymore. Over the last 100 years, we have changed the world in extremely negative ways.

Here's one statement for vegetarians if humans shouldn't eat meat then why are our teeth designed to tear, slice and grind the fact is we are omnivores we need mixed diet of meat and plants to get our vitamins, minerals, protein, fibre and enzymes if we were purely vegetarians we would be as active as plant material takes longer to digest than meat.
C48813 4 months ago
@C48813 Good points, but if you do some research, humans are not natural omnivores (as most people think), we are actually vegetarians. Our intestines are long, we don't have teeth designed for ripping flesh, but to grind grains and chew plants. These are not pro-vegetarian points, but factual human anatomy.

@haydenvegan Not Natural? Oh so now, evolution and adaption are not natural... Okaaay. I get the points on fish and I don't like to eat it very often, but in the last few years, fishing regulations have change a lot. Anyway tho, PETA or any other group is not going to effect thousands of years of Human culture, very drastically. I understand not being cruel to animals, but they were put on Earth by God to be eaten, I think PETA should start focusing more on regulations on this and..

@C48813 That may be true but why do we need to torture living things in order to eat them?
StrainChain 2 weeks ago
@StrainChain Yeah i see what u mean as the fish do go through more pain than other animals and it isn't fair but we still need to eat and eating both meat and plants is better than just purely meat or plants.
C48813 2 weeks ago
@C48813 But that still does not justify cruelty toward another living thing. In modern day we have the ability to not eat meat and be healthy. If everyone stopped eating meat for a few months to strike animal production factories then those factories would have to change their ways. Back when people needed to hunt for their food they were greatfull and understood the life of the animal. Now all people think meat magically show up on supermarket shelves and doont care where it came from.
StrainChain 2 weeks ago
@StrainChain Not all animals we eat are raised in factory farms (which i think is cruel). Some are still raised on proper farms and are well looked after and the way most animals are slaughtered now is by passing and electric current through its brain so they are unconscious and cant feel anything then there necks are slit killing them instantaneously. And to me that's more humane than shooting them. The only things i would say were cruel is factory farming or killing infant animals.
C48813 2 weeks ago
@C48813 And I agree. The only reason why I dont eat meat is because of the cruelty animals go through. I also only buy free ranged eggs. I dont know if I would still eat meat if I knew they were taken care of, but the problem is when I go out to eat it's just to hard to know where the meat came from. So I just dont eat it.

Intelligence is a debated term, one thing we can agree on is these fish & sea-mammals are capable of pain & conscious. Which means the argument is still on for why it is morally right for harm to be caused to them when alternatives exist. As for the omegas, plenty of plant sources for that ranging from hemp to linseed to various seeds.
The reasons given in this video aren't so easily dismissed in the categories of ethics & environment, you've done nothing to combat that

@TheTvrulesthenation Implying plants cant feel to and also look at gorillas there great apes like us but the're purely vegetarian and don't move around as much as chimpanzees or us because plant material takes longer to digest than meat and they have to eat more to get the same amount of nutrients as carnivores get by eating meat. Chimps are like us they are omnivores we need both which gives us an advantage against pure carnivores or herbivores.

Firstly plants do not feel pain & im not even bothering to argue this if you believe so.
Secondly i care little for cross-species comparison of their physiology in different environments to gauge what A) our diet should be and B) what our morals should be.
And as pointed out by me this video does little to address environmental or ethical reasoning for not eating fish, it is highly damaging to the environment when fishing occurs commercially let alone the pain it puts on billions of fish

@TheTvrulesthenation Plant Brain: Each root apex harbours a unit of nervous system of plants. The number of root apices in the plant body is high and all brain-units are interconnected via vascular strands (plant nerves) with their polarly-transported auxin (plant neurotransmitter), to form a serial (parallel) nervous system of plants.
C48813 3 months ago
@TheTvrulesthenation The computational and informational capacity of this nervous system based on interconnected parallel units is predicted to be higher than that of the diffuse nervous system of lower animals, or the central nervous system of higher animals/humans.

C48813
Whatever the hell you just copied and pasted was not referring to plants because they do not contain nervous systems as a brain is required, there are two types of nevous systems central & scattered (humans and say lobsters respectively).
There is also 0 reason for a plant to contain nerves as their evolutionary function is locomotion away from the source for survival, something plants cannot do due to their roots

@TheTvrulesthenation I have some philosophical questions to this scientific issue. How do we define pain? Is it a chemical response in general(based on evolutionary advantages of avoiding the cause, like tobacco plants have), or does it have to be including a nervous system that is like the human one?
I think it simply philosophically valid that just because we cannot associate with plants does not mean they have any less ability for pain, a similar leap to the vegan animal relationship.

Sensation to register pressure or other physical external stimulu is the umbrella branch, pain is merely one of the sub groups just like itch (an extremely mild irritant/pain) is another. If you are to accept plants can feel external stimuli you then have to accept that they experience a range of sensations from this & if you reject this notion you have to explain why.
Its clear in higher organisms how this works seek pleasureable sensation, avoid negative sensation (heat/pain)
TheTvrulesthenation 3 months ago
TheAtheologian
You;d also have to argue for the link between reaction to external stimuli & cosncious ability to register what it feels. For eg sperm finds the egg by secreted hormones in a womans reproductive canal & they swim towards this, does this ability mean they are actually aware of what they are doing & can ''smell'' (for want of a better word) their way? Similarly is the hair standing up on your body when cold a conscious experience that you register occuring all over your body...no

Philosophy does not enter into this question at all, no more than it enters into can bacteria feel pain. We understand what is necessary for an organism to feel pain, whilst there may be a gray area plants are NOT the gray area. Rudimentary nervous systems appear in molluscs & shellfish which came long after plants & as i keep pointing out for a plant to feel pain would be a ridiculous evolutionary trait as they cannot move away
And of course there is a continuum in pain register

Hi Friend,
Every being in this galaxy has to be depend on other beings this is how is life cycle defined, In the same way Vegetarian is the intended diet for human beings based on their digestive system or their sense towards the other beings .. Well if you feel that eating plants and animals are same then eating animals and neighbor human beings is also same Plants do have life but their awareness/sense on their body is less when compared to that animals feel ..
pradeepjuturu 3 months ago
@pradeepjuturu No it's not. Human beings, in addition to there being biological barriers for us not wanting to eat our own, are different to other animals. If you want to use the cognitive argument, we are self-aware, sentient, and capable of making tools.
The simple thing is, you draw the line at life forms that may be eaten after plants. I draw it before humans. Though I would allow cannibalism if both parties were willing, murder is wrong, killing animals in a humane manner is not.

I think that the fish term goes to eating the animals itself either ALIVE or eating predators like Sharks or Dolphins. It's not advised to eat those prediators cause they have high mercury. It's the way people kill things that have them all angry. use CAK beef, pork, bird eaters. There is a humane way for fish too.

I agree that mammals such as whales and dolphins should not be killed, at least for the sake of sport, but some people depend on such items for survival. As for fish, two good reasons to eat them: Fun to catch, and great to eat! Also, it is well documented that certain types of fish such as shark and swordfish are high in mercury. So, do not eat them, just all the other tasty fish.

What about all the animals killed to stop them eating the crops? What about all the animals homes destroyed to grow your delicious beans? What about all the polution and destruction that goes along with the massive operation to transport and shelve your food? What about the fact u are using a computer? hypocrite
You've probably killed 10 000 animals today and thats only the ones u count as '2 cute to eat'

1. FISH ARE DUMB! THEY CAN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR!
2. That is our fault it we did not pollute, the fish would not be poisonous.

im not against eating animals as other animals eat other animals so why cant we and yes other animals eat other animals alive. the only thing that is in humane is the way they are prepared i.e cooked in way so they stay alive.

3 reasons u shouldnt give a fuck about PETA
1- wat does it matter the animals suffer before they die its like giving a inmate on death-row 5 star service.
2- I piss on plants all the time, and u eat them
3- u get big and strong eating meat

@MrBuddyisreal
Its not about peta but what we are doing. You will die someday, so you should suffer now? Big and strong eating meat, the milk and meat commercials got you, some of the top body builders are veg. You will get big as in fat or a heart attack.
More ignorance amongst meat eaters. I lived it for 10 years thus know a bit more than most. I also fly airplanes do you want to guess and tell me how to do that too since you probably have been on a plane now know it all as well?

peta is a terrorist org, without all of the fish cows and pigs the price of meat and fish would skyrocket and many low income familys would go hungry. The bottom line is that peta cares more about animals then people, they believe that it was wrong to find vaccines to chickenpox, anthrax, the flu, influenza B, hepatitis A and B, Polio, small pox, and many others because animals were used to test them. I dont support animal abuse but neither will i praise peta for human abuse.

So they are saying that none of these animals would hurt us, and that they all want to be our friends. I think that hunting only for fun is wrong, but if it is for our food, who cares.

@duraldehunter You are completely wrong. I live on a farm, and have my whole life. I am around many types of animals everyday. And I know that they have feelings, and they ARE NOT retarded. You and many other people are just to stupid to see it. Think about this real good, and Put yourself in there position, think about what you would feel like?

Peta have been known to back terrorist operations. And besides, our bodies are built to eat meat + plants. Ignore these peta faggots.

if it is immoral for people to eat fish, is it also immoral for sharks? or hawks? or bears? human beings are a part of nature, not above it. And nature can be ugly too, hippies. don't be so fuckin juvenile. if industrial meat production bothers you so much, go out into to the woods and hunt and fish like our forefathers did. except you won't, because you liberal nancy-boys are afraid of of getting dirty. so fuck you

@flythegadsden Humans WERE a part of Nature, when we had small numbers and were hunter-gatherers. You can't say a species that skins cats & dogs, gives horrific treatement to cattle, pigs & chickens, kills any predator that has the "gall' to kill a human, and has made thousands of species extinct in it's epoch part of Nature as NO other species has ever done anything even close to our attrocities. Hunting is fine if done in Native Indian manner (praying to the animal's soul). (continue)

@flythegadsden... And we don't bring other animals to extinction. Same with fishing. And farming with be a dandy business.... If we DIDN'T ENSLAVE AN ENTIRE SPECIES!!! Chickens, pigs, cows, all were meant to be free. It isn't immoral for them as they do it to SURVIVE! We do not have to as, being omnivores, have a choice. And it seems many always choose the worst choice. But then again, what can I expect from humanity? 90% of ALL people are damned RETARDS!
vgman94 1 year ago
Why are they showing dolphins? They aren't fish. I don't eat fish, but only because I don't like the taste. Hey, we need to eat too. Humans are meant to be omnivores. Also, PETAs the one that kills animals.

@CrazyCritters7 I was suprised too, but then I saw they are talking about sea animals in general. Anyhow, people can live just fine (most of the times even better) without consuming animal products.
