Are your tastebuds worth more than an animals life?

And that’s how you should not sell your point and you wonder why people shun veganism.

People shun veganism because they don't care about the suffering animals go through when you buy meat or any animal product. It has nothing to do with what I say or do.

Anyway what is wrong with what I said? I think its very likely that all religious books will turn out to be fiction.

Yours are just evil scum. I hate all of you.

Do you not think its very likely that all religion is fiction? When people use a fictional book to try and support their argument is that not ignorant?

At least two of the religions you have mentioned is fiction (They can't all be true) and I can say that with 100% certainty.

I can say that all religions are fictional with 99.999% certainty.

You better crawl away stinky before I say something that makes you cry.

This Wise Fool is actually open to the idea of vegetarianism and veganism. If someone could convince me otherwise, I might reconsider my meat eating ways. For example, meat is important for many areas of our body not just including muscles. Some of these benefits from meat are;

Creatine (Only found in animal food) which is for the brain and for the muscles. Lack of Creatine means a lower performance in test and lower mental capacity.

Vitamin B12 Only found in meat again (though I could be wrong on this one) causes abnormalities in the blood if not taken in at a high enough rate.

A lack of Vitamin D3 appears to lead to an increase of; cancer, heart disease and depression.

Clearly, meat is very, very beneficial and that's just a few examples. It's very hard to live a healthy life without some supplements to replace meat. However, I'm not saying it's impossible.

A better question would be in this wise fools own opinion, Are we worth more than an animal's life? And the answer... Obviously! Now this Wise Fool wants to remind everyone, we're omnivores! Not carnivores or herbivores but omnivores.

I understand if someone doesn't like the idea of killing animals or animals being in pain. This fools agrees that animals being in pointless pain is well... pointless. However, I do think giving an animal purpose for being in our meals is fair. We are more important that animals.

Us eating animals can also help with the food chain. If some animals with no natural predators were no suddenly not longer livestock (they'd probably struggle) their population would sky-rocket until it collapses because of the food. Us eating animals keeps control of this.

Isn't stupid at all. If animals were to be set free, life would be harder for them their populations would boom then collapse and the food supply e.g. grass would be ravaged. The reason why this can't be applied to humans is because we've adapted to control such things.

If we lived with other animals more closely we would be killed and eaten by them such as hippos, alligators, tigers etc. It's natural for animals to eat each other and humans are no different. If we let cows etc live freely they would get killed by other animals and eaten by other animals.

Also I'm not making an argument I'm stating my opinion. I'm not trying to convince anybody to eat meat.

That's just too long to respond to in its entirety.

But your repeated attempts to conflate the morality of killing animals with the morality of killing humans is where the problem lies, I think. Humans are highly intelligent and have a consciousness above that of other living things.

Empathy is our mind putting itself in others' shoes. Our morality structures itself around this sense of empathy and mutual understanding, particularly towards those closest to us, for safety and structural stability. That's the function of morality. But animals simply do not have the same complex lives, thoughts and feelings as we do. They aren't capable of it. When you feel bad for a chicken being killed for food you are habitually envisioning them experiencing your own feelings about life, loss, and death. But chickens simply do not think as a human would. They aren't capable. Their lives aren't like ours. Hence the empathy you feel for them dying for food is missplaced here. That empathy evolved for your kin; not them. They're just animals. They live, they die, they get eaten, as has been the way of things for millions of years. And by eating them too, as we also evolved to do, we are only partaking in normality and the natural order of things which will continue with or without you.

Therefore human empathy for the life of a chicken, for example, is rather pointless. It serves no function and you aren't saving anything that would even be capable of appreciating it. Your higher human empathy is completely lost on a lower life form over this. You haven't made the world a better place by not eating a bird. You haven't even made things better for the birds that will die and be consumed and recycled regardless.

Do you have evidence or is it something you just read off some random site? No one and I mean, No One has proof so I know you know **** about religion.
Until you have definite proof about what you say, I can’t and no one else will believe you.

Honestly I can see a vegetarians point. But one person stopping isn’t going to stop the animals being killed so you may as well enjoy it. There will always be demand for meat. Always.

One person won't. But the more people that do refrain from eating meat, the less the demand will be for it and the fewer the amount of animals that will be killed.

Just as one person voting won't make a difference, but millions voting will.
