You didn't answer my question... As someone mentioned to you earlier. Many cherish the cow and forbid the killing and eating of it. Because you eating it goes against their beliefs, does that make you a murderous, satanic, evil, nasty monster? |
Well Cows are eaten everywhere, how many people can say they've eaten seal. I stick by my opinion that eating a seal is the same as eating shit and piss. |
Cows are not eaten everywhere, another lie (or sad, sad ignorance). And how does the amount of people eating something justify it's 'murder'.
By that same logic, we should have stopped eating cow when it first started to become our food, as very little ate it at that time. Those barbarians!! |
Well most places eat cow. Where don't people eat cow? |
Devout Muslims don't eat beef, vegans don't eat beef, Hindu don't eat beef, people typically in the arctic do not eat beef.
...That's equates to a lot of people. But you've dodged the more important point. Why does it matter how many people do it? Because it is more popular?
Also: "I just think people are protecting it cause they like the taste of seal meat"
Two things: 1. I've never had seal meat before, I've never even had moose meat before (which is hugely popular in Newfoundland). Like you, I can't bring myself to eat something that I'm not used to and didn't grow up with. 2. So what if they like it? You like beef, so you eat it.
Not everyone is muslim and hindu though. It's really cool that they stick to their beliefs and don't eat cow and pork, my hat is off to them for that cause thats what they believe in. |
But I just think eating cows it way differrent than eating a seal. Only like 2 places eat seal, I've never met anyone that eats seal, and I've never been to a resturaunt where seal was on the menu.
1. Moose meat is fucked up too. 2. I don't snack on it constantly and I don't cheer on animal killers for it though. |
Your argument here is that since it's not a popular world food source, it's disgusting and wrong to eat. This is OK for an opinion on personal preference (that is, what you would find disgusting and not want to eat) but it's totally wrong to take your personal tastes (or global popularity of a given food) and claim it constitutes some kind of moral imperative.
'It's not wrong because lots of people do it' 'It is wrong because few people do it' 'I do it so it must be OK' Your argument disgusts me. (Therefore, by your logic, you are sick and wrong.)
