That's all I have to say on the "ethics" of this subject.

Proving my point that people value their taste buds over the life of another and our environment. We don't have to paint you as a horrible person - you already did that for us.



(To be fair, I'm sure you're not actually a horrible person, but you're extremely wrong in this aspect of life and the facts prove it. If all you've got to lean back on is "it tastes good" or something so obviously ******** in any argument, it should be glaringly clear that you're on the wrong side of the argument.)

Is that supposed to bother us?

What a weak attempt.

Why are we still talking about evolution and whether we can or cannot actually meat though? The fact is that we don't need to yet continue to do so collectively as a society because we're letting our taste buds decide for us. That's much more troubling in my opinion.

Um no. We humans are designed to eat meat.

Except we aren't.

our least problem tho

People in the future might stop eating meat by themselves for economic reasons, but not because grass-eaters tell them to.

So edgy.

ddd; yes if you read my whole paragraph, all animals are actually prone to disease and parasites.

I'm still not convinced that other omnivores get as sick as humans from eating non-cooked meat.

Non-Meat Eaters vs. Meat Eaters will always be a argument just like Gay vs. Anti-Gay so....it's not gonna change

I like the fact that the majority of the people saying we need meat didn't read the thread.

I'm not justifying animal cruelty, and I'm not saying the well being of these animals isn't important - of course it is. But human life is far more valuable than the the existence of that fly lurking on your bedroom wall.

I have a dog, and I love her dearly. But let me give you a hypothetical, burning building... there's a strangers baby and my dog trapped inside and I only have time to save one or the other; I'd save the strangers baby every single time... I'd like to think any other decent human being would do the same.

Human life is obviously more valuable; but don't assume that I meant the lives of other animals aren't at all.

The fact that you even had to explain this

Like clearly animal abuse is arguably inherently wrong, but killing it for food is just not.

I've provided my scientific arguments, and they are solid. I'm now telling you that I do not ethically equate an animal's life to yours or mine, and particularly not when it allows us to stay alive to eat said animal. The fact that it tastes good? Added bonus. The only thing that's clear is that everyone here wants to be right, but not everyone really can.

The principles on which most people would deem bestiality unacceptable also make eating meat unacceptable - both are carnal pleasures gained at the expense of an animal. Sure, the activity itself is different, but if you were able to ask a cow if they'd rather be raped or murdered how do you suppose it would answer?

A cow doesn't have the mental capacity to interpret anything like that.

Let's not act like the dairy and meat industry care about the norms. Animals still get tortured before they're slaughtered, sometimes even just for fun, and they are held under unbelievably cruel conditions in order to maximise profit.

This is something I do care about and think something should be done about....abiding by norms and raising/treating the animals well.

Ddd this is about as weak and cringe worthy as entering a Gaga thread just to write "nose" or "hermaphrodite". C'mon sis, I know you can do better.

Oh wait, no, you can't, because you're argument is absolutely baseless and will always fall back on the ******** logic that "it tastes good".

I'm done with this thread.

At the end of the day most of the facts agree that humans eating meat is not natural , I can sleep well at night knowing that a defenceless animal hasn't died for me because it tastes good.

Exactly. The same argument could have been made in 1500 that the lives and happiness of straight people is worth much more than the lives of gay people and purported witches.
