According to some people the animals do it because they have no choice. What does this mean? Don't they have feelings? Don't they feel bad about the animals they eat?
Yes they do do it because they have no choice. They don't feel bad because they aren't raised with the idea of morals like we are, they don't even have the intelligence to comprehend what morals are. They simply act upon impulse.
If they don't have the same kind of feelings as humans, then automatically killing them shouldn't be as big of a deal as killing a human being with human feelings (which vegetarians compare it to).
Just because they aren't as smart/civilised as us we should kill them and eat them?
Vegetarians act like animals are equal to humans, but at the same they want to give them more rights than us.
Who wants to give animals more rights than us? No one's asking for animals to get paid or the right to vote
Also, if everyone stops eating meat, there will be people complaining about how people eat plants
No one's going to complain about people eating plants because plants don't have brains or the capability to think or suffer. This argument is the dumbest thing
Oh and one last thing, I think there would be big problems with the stability in nature if everyone suddently stopped eating meat, it's a natural thing after all.
No there wouldn't because animals wouldn't have to be bred and raised for torture and death like they are now.

I don't understand this no morals argument.
Just because you aren't intelligent, doesn't mean you can simply MURDER innocent other animals (which is so horrible). If you force people to stop eating meat, you should also force all other animals to stop eating meat. I mean, humans usually don't murder other humans, so murderers (humans with less morals) are put into jail. Or do you think we should let them do their thing because they have no choice (mental issues)?
No there wouldn't because animals wouldn't have to be bred and raised for torture and death like they are now.
What would you do with the animals we have though? Just kill them? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose?
