Many years ago, I went over to my dad's friend's house. They had a little pen with three piggies in it. They said they were going to kill them to eat them. That same night they served hotdogs. I think that's when I stopped eating piggies. xD |
Not really, I don't usually hang around cows and chickens and pigs, and I don't usually eat cats and dogs.

In the animal world, wild animals eat people. At a time, we hunted just like they did (before civilizations of course) We're animals. We're as fierce and powerful as tigers. It's natural instinct to eat other animals. It's not like you see a grizzly bear eating carrots. It just doesn't work that way.

I'm of the opinion that if you can't think about where something came from while eating it, then you shouldn't be eating it. But then I guess that's why I'm a vegetarian.
The only experience I had like that was when my family would go crabbing when I was little. It upset me a lot and I refused to go with them, and I'd make myself a sandwich and stay in my room while they cooked them and ate them for dinner. It all seemed really barbaric to me. ^^; |

I'm vegetarian, so... not really. Plants don't have anything like a brain, so I'm pretty okay with it, myself. People tend to bug me about "WELL PLANTS ARE ALIVE" but let's face it: It's different.
|
Sometimes when I am eating meat, I remember that it was alive once and I almost decide not to eat it until I remember how good it tastes.
It died for my meal. An honorable death, indeed. |
Well, it is not so bad with me. I do not live next to a meat processing plant. But my sister feels your pain. She raises cows for show, and then she sells them and, guess what?, they get slaghtered. She does not like the last part, and she really bonds with the cows she raises, but she keeps doing it.

I live right next to a meat locker. So usually when I'm driving home, and turn the corner, they always have dead pigs hanging outside while they are washing them. And just recently I caught some guy bringing in a dead deer. >_<
I am an animal lover, and so these sorts of things bother me. I've attempted to not eat meat plenty of times, but I can't help it. I was raised with meat, and am unable to give it up. I literally become sick if I don't eat meat. |
I am chronically anemic. So becoming a vegetarian is an option for me, even if I wanted to become one.
And if I get really bothered by the fact that I am eating a creature that was slaughtered for my meal I think of two things; 1, If it wasn't for humans domesicating animals for food, we probably would have hunted them into extintion. 2, Would I really want to eat something that just dropped dead in the paddock. |
i luz cows

Animals in the wild eat other animals and even though we don't like to be associated with them, we, humans, are still animals by nature so I think it's normal for us to be eating meat. The only difference is that we cut our meat from the animal first (when compared to wild animals who just rip meat from the just killed prey) and cook it.
Also, if you eat too many vegetables, you can get stones. My grandfather eats mostly vegetables and he got diagnosed with a gall stone. In addition, I read in a news article that this can happen from eating too much vegetables. Not to offend any vegetarians, I have no problems with what they choose to eat. |
I eat most meat, except sheep. Though that is due to a silly little reason, because when I was a child my favorite stuff animal was a sheep and I thought I would betray my stuff animal if I ate lamb. I haven't intentionally eaten it since. As much as I like animals, I don't think I could be vegetarian.
|
That has happened to me before. I stopped eating red meat because I felt bad that the cows had gotten killed in demeaning way. I know killing is still killing but can't they find a more civilized way of killing animals? The slaughter sounds so degrading. Ugh. :?

Poor cows.
