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.

I can justify eating meat. It tastes good, I like it, and nobody can stop me.

What other justification could I possibly need?


Once again CIUTH is PWNED.


Please, I don't care if I've been pwned, you're not contributing to the debate anymore and it's time the thread dies tbh, so if you've got nothing worthwhile to actually say, can you just get out.


Ok. It's time to let it die. So STOP posting.


If people have an issue, they can either PM me, or post here, but I won't ignore it.

Hm. Do they? One moment, let me look on the Internet for that.

(Several minutes later...)

You are, in fact, correct. Yet, I do believe it's more important to have a supply of air instead of a lack of room because some cow needs to dwindle our air generators.

Not every plant is good for consumption. Tree leaves? It's not typical of people to run to the grocery store and pick up some leaves for whatever the hell they are making. But before you start using the "Vegetarians are killing our air supply" keep in mind that pollutants are far worse and deforestation of forests and rain forests destroy much more than a farmed crop for sale.


Very well said.

Here to end the borrowed time you've all been living on.

I wonder why people just don't think about animals' lives and are only concerned about their own enjoyment...

I can justify eating meat. It tastes good, I like it, and nobody can stop me.

What other justification could I possibly need?


Can you justify being greedy, selfish and an uncaring human being?


I don't think I'm being greedy, selfish, or uncaring. You obviously do. We all have opinions. I can't stop you from thinking the way you think; you can't stop me from thinking the way I think, and again, nobody can stop me from eating, and enjoying, meat.

My future father-in-law fried some turkey yesterday. It was amazing.

When we're talking about innocent animals lives, the fact that they are simply not always treated as they should be, how livestock release greenhouse gas, and how there would not be a single child starving today if most people were vegetarian, it's simply offensive and frankly annoying to say something as ignorant as 'what other justification could I possibly need for eating meat other than it tasting good and me enjoying it' to a vegetarian.

If most people were vegetarian the number of people starving would increase because they wouldn't be eating all the meat. Cutting food supply in half does not decrease starvation.

I can: Meat is good.
It's a good enough justification for me, but I respect your opinion.

I be trippin'.

On Christmas Eve there was an opossum scurrying around.

I got a 20 gauge and shot it? Why you ask? Because they poop on my grandparent's driveway and eat all their cat food.

And before most of you wonder, we did not eat it, because we shot it with a shotgun from ten feet away and opossums taste like crap.

May he rest in pieces.

I don't think this is a PETA thread, just a meat eating thread. Kill a bear if you need to, trap a mouse, etc.
