See? They still need to take them. Thanks for proving me right.

Human intestines may not be as short as strictly meat eaters as he quite clearly said, but its equal not a vegetarian build, its something called middle ground you know like omnivores. Humans like other meat eaters are scavengers rather than hunters, not all meat eaters eat everything from a carcass, Even saying that there’s not many parts of an animal humans don’t eat. We were once  vegetarians but we evolved, we are “homo sapiens” we do it meat, our teeth the position of our eyes are the indicators of a predator.  Let’s get more to the bottom of it he tries to humanize everything, morality my dear friend is a human concept other animals do not apply this. I’ll ask you a question if a species was born to feed of human meat are the wrong/evil to exist? There’s a clear cut difference between animal abuse and eating meat, he claims the world evil steams from this, so it’s impossible for a vegetarian kill murder and to do bad, to be racist?   He also used religion “a belief” to back up his opinion which is also another “belief” funny that. “I SHALL NOT KILL” would imply we’re no better than animals if you want to use animals to fit in with that line, however he also says we’re in the 21 century “we’re above that” ( referring to cruelty).. how can that be either we’re above animals or we’re equal, if we’re above then killing an animal’s isn’t the same as taken a human life or if we’re equal then there should be a problem.

Fuck this guy. A great way to invalidate your point is to compare anything to the holocaust. Its as bad as comparing someone to Hitler. I only watched 30 minutes of the video but he seems to pull many of the same PETA arguments you have heard 1000 times before. This guy seems like he hit the jackpot getting paid to travel the country and spout typical vegan talk while banging naive college chicks.

Personally I dont give a shit about how animals bred for food are being processed into food. Im all for eating any animal that in in abundance including dogs, cats, rats, possum or any other unorthodox meat if it tastes good. Vegan food is shit and cheese is one of the greatest things ever.

He was actually in massive debt at one point (30k in credit cards). He also talks in high schools. And you lasted far longer than i did. I got to the part where he said meat was an addiction.

Back in high school when I did track, I saw this underclass man kid whose mom forced him to be a vegan, I felt really sorry for him because we were both distance runners but he was never able to keep up with the rest of the team and was pretty much a stick figure for a couple of years until I graduated, I went back to visit teachers and friends when I went home from college and that shit did not improve. He was really very weak compared to the kids who had more balanced and healthy diets that didn't require supplements. My conclusion so far is that not everybody can be a vegan, it might work out for some people but not others and definitely not that kid. You won't be healthy by just being a vegan, you need to pay attention to how your body reacts to different foods. I can never be a vegan because I have a natural slim build, and if I don't eat meat, my muscles will go away no matter how much supplement I take in.

As far as animal cruelty goes, I personally don't like it, but they are properties, they are not free if they are owned, and I doubt we'll see a cow holding a cow gun to shoot at people any time soon.

Using the Holocaust as a comparison to animals is a massive insult to the actual human beings who lived through those atrocites.

In answer to the original question, I don't 'need' to kill animals, because they're already dead and sitting on store shelves. I feel that it is my moral duty to make sure they didn't die in vain, so I eat them.

And how about the fact that the majority of monkeys and apes are omnivores..? If I remember correctly there are only a couple of primates that are herbivores. Most primates (including us) naturally eat meat and vegetable matter. Most of them eat fish, insects and sometimes each other.

The man is a fool.

Go look at a sluaghterhouse and see if the animals are trying to get out. They are just sitting their awaiting their fate. 

As an Animal Scientist I find this topic to be bewildering. Humans are the only species to decline willingly their place in the food chain. I have "harvested" many animals for food and find that humans (at least in the US) are the only ones who do it in the most humane ways possible. Not only is it good for the animal, but also helps with the meat's quality.

Proteins in animal fat has been proven to be a key part of young people's brain development which is necessary for healty development.
