I do not fear death, in view of the fact that I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it. ~ Mark Twain

Ooh. I saw someone say plants didn't breathe. Quite wrong, quite wrong.
They breathe through the cycle of photosynthesis, which is the opposite of our method of breathing. Plants take in carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to form it into glucose. They then expel oxygen as the result of their respiration, which we breathe.
What vegetarians are doing, you see, is slowly killing off our supply of air. The scoundrels.
But plants don't have a nervous system that animals do.
Exactly, there is no moral issue with killing a plant, because it doesn't actually feel.
Yet, we kill animals so fast they don't feel anything either. Yes, we might slit the throat of an animal in a slaughterhouse, but it is done professionally and properly to end the animal's life in a fashion that doesn't give it enough time to feel anything, whether it be pain or an emotion.
Firstly, I linked a video a number of pages back, it disproves this. Although ideally people assume that they don't suffer, this is not in fact the case.
Whether it is legal or not, animal execution is not always painless (Watch the video)
Also, animals are not treating correctly during their lives. They are in captivity and often inhuman spaces (the average mass produced chicken lives in a square foot which it will never move from, amongst a pen full of thousands of chickens, filling virtually all space. It's extremely inhumane.
And it may be done more professionally in countries like America and the UK (on average) but this standard degrades in other countries.
Animals in the meat market ARE subject to mass cruelty.
