Forums - General - Do we really need to kill animals??

And it should also be noted that any honest vegetarian or vegan will tell you that they would kill and eat an animal with their bare hands, raw, if they were starving to death. But you'll be very lucky to find many that would admit to it. I know a fair few vegetarians and only one of them has openly admitted that they'd do this to save their lives.

We don't need meat at all. People, including me, just like the taste.

Actually, there are necessary protiens, fatty acids, and vitamins that we get from meat naturally (some of which are particularly important for developing children). This is why vegetarians and vegans need to take supplements to stay healthy. By the same token, there are many vitamins and minerals we can only get from vegetables, which is why people who eat too much meat (or too much of one kind of meat) & not enough veggies are not healthy either. We're omnivores, so our system requires a balanced diet to be healthy.

True dat.

But since the supplements exist, we technically don't need the meat.

Since artificial insemination exists, we technically don't need sex, but where's the fun in that? This thread is making me hungry for a good pulled pork BBQ sammich.

The fact that some vegitarians will argue that humans eating meat is not natural, in spite of the fact that they have to take unnatural supplements if they don't eat meat (which naturally contains those essential nutrients) makes me laugh.

I like how the description is all like "stress again the cruelty of hyenas" when I was all like "this shit is awesome and that's smart as hell!"

If you where watching that video and replace the animal that gets its baby ripped out from its insides with someone you care about or your own pet if you have one? (Cant really see you being a pet owner anyways but id like to know?) would you still think it was so cool?.

If you was walking down the street with your pregnant gf and a bunch of men came over and cut her open started to eat at her and then cut her baby out of her womb and carried it away would you think it was so cool?.



there you go with those fallacies again...

You said this twice without explaining why this time id like you to explain..

I'm alarmed that you don't know what a fallacy is. You're abusing them in your 'argument'.

Due to the way those supplements are made, they are not very effective unless you eat the real thing too, they are mostly for back up and not a replacement. Drinking a protein shake doesn't do shit unless you also intake a good amount of meat, and you have to mix up the meat as well so you can intake different species and types of animal fat(just like veggies), supplemtents does exactly what it's made to do which is to help but can't replace the real thing.

How exactly would you expect them to escape or get out?. You ever see cows and that when being lead to their death. Trust me if you did you would know they kick and screem the whole way down cos they know their time is up.


You really make bold unsubstantiated claims. You sound like the extreamist in the video. He really brainwashed you and planted those buzz words deep in your head

This is a fact. Show me a video of 1 cow being lead to its death and going willingly..

Provide me with a video of every cow who gets killed by the hands of a human

i asked you for 1 video. if i am lying it shouldnt be hard for you to find a video. Fact is every video you look at will show you the same thing the cow trying its best to get away..

I'm sorry but I don't go to slaughter houses and take videos of the process... the people who do that are called PETA and they let you see what they want you to see
