@maltavmalta Animals attack, kill and eat other animals to survive. The majority of human beings, present company excepted obviously, have the intellect to make a choice. Try and talk like a Human Being.

> As Morrisey said once "Nobody can come up with a good arguement for eating animals- nobody ." And the risk of developing heart disease among meaters is 50% higher than among vegetarians, enjoy your pound of flesh for it comes at a very high price for you and the earth and future generations to come. It simply can not carry on the way its going.

The "all life is sacred" argument is bullshit. It's the same argument used against abortion. Nothing about life is magical. If the life of a human fetus is not as important as the life of a mother, than the life of a human child is more valuable than a veal calf. We make decisions on what is worth protecting based on a number of factors, and a cow doesn't cut it for me. If the meat industry is excessively cruel, vegetarianism is an ineffective tactic anyway.

I don't think the worst thing is eating animals, but rather keeping them in tiny cages and make them have crappy lives. I don't think veganism is so easy for everybody, as he makes out to be. Not the best example myself, but I think it's more important if people just start by eating less and better, non-mass-produced meat. but Idk, could be wrong..

Denis Leary, I'm afraid you're not the world's biggest asshole, anymore. This dipshit stole your title.

I love how some will be the first to cite "human nature" when defending their personal practices, yet will ignore that "human nature" is also rape, war, greed, and the psychological capacity to evolve past those things.

@pollubis go and fuck yourself

@broom2000 you said "we had different opinions on meat eating..... perhaps this is something you should try!!". Most people are against killing and eating other people. But maybe there are some people that like eating human meat and obviously there are people in the world that kill other people. Do you also think I should tolerate this because we just have different opinions? There are some things I can't accept because killing any animals (including humans) will always be wrong

@infrabuse Well said :)

Eating meat is destroying our Earth, in a 2006 UN report scientists said the meat industry creates more greenhouse gases than all the cars,trucks and planes in the the world combined.And shockingly, one single hamburger uses enough fossil fuel to drive a small car 20 miles and enough water to for 17 showers.And the meat industry is a major cause of pollution in the UK, while consuming huge amounts of grain, water ,drugs and pesticides ( which the meater consumes). >

I think meat eaters and vegetarians forget one thing. We breed animals to eat.

It's not like if we stop eating meat, we will be run over by animals. At the same time while eating meat, we're not really reducing the numbers of said animal. It's not like we go out and kill random animals, reducing their population.

If anything, us consuming meat is what helps the species to survive. I'm not arguing for one specific side, just wanted to make that point. Correct me if I'm wrong please.
