Okay,
This might just be me, but I see plants and animals as two separate things.

(Here I am talking about the average plant, and the average animal)

Plants photosynthesize. Animals do not.
Plants do not feel love. Animals do.
Plants do not have a soul. Animals do.
Plants do not communicate. Animals do.
Plants do not have the ability to make a choice. Animals do.


So, Animals and plants are clearly two different 'objects'
Animals are living, just like humans are.
Plants are living, but nothing compared to what humans or plants are.

The reason why I feel that it is okay to eat plants is because plants provide all the goodness that human beings need. We can grow plants, and modify them just to our needs. All what humans need to survive is in the plants and water that surrounds us.

Animals are living beings, and by killing them you are committing an unnecessary murder. Why kill a pig, when a hand full of nuts and a pineapple will do?

I really don't know what else to say on this point. It was a stupid point you made there. So this point can end here.


I do have a very strong point of view on this matter. I think that it is horrid how people can find it okay to kill an animal for fun. I am 100% against this.


So I would say 'Oh, you have run out of decent arguments, so you are resulting in name calling' but then again, I don't think you have made a decent argument throughout this thread.

As for 'Pulling things out of [my] ass'
What do you mean by this?
Everything I have said is based upon proof, and /or common sense - which on both points, you fail to have.

Your comment 'why is it ok to grow veggies just for eating and not animals'. Now this sounds something that you would pluck out from your ass, on a very last resort.


Yes. I am being serious.
You said that animals don't eat their own kind.
This is the third example I have gave you, and every time you say 'that doesn't count' or 'are you serious'.
- What spiecies of animal would you like me to say to satisfy you?

Honestly, never.
I didn't specify a bird that did.
But as you are being silly about it, I will do: Pigeon Hawks.

I think they do yes.
I think all animals love each other, just like humans do.

Elephants cry when they loose a loved one, dogs cry when you shout at the loud enough. I think all animals are capable of loving one another.

BBC - Science & Nature - Articles - Do animals have feelings?
^
Above is an article talking about feelings animals have towards each other.

And I'm surprised that you have never seen a dog howl once the owner has left them, or go in the corer and sulk one their owner has shouted at them. I am actually surprised that you have never seen that documentary about the Elephant who lost their child Elephant, and they cried... its really old now.. and like one of the most famous documentaries...

So there you go.
If you believe that animals have no feelings,
that eating plants is the same as eating animals,
and that by stop supporting something bad, is actually a bad idea then God help you if the nut house ever comes for you.

As far as I'm concerned, you have ran out of arguments, and I have nothing else left to say.

The point in this thread was just to see how many vegetarians and vegans are out there, not for you to have a stab at what we believe in.

I think you owe the vegetarians on this site an apology for calling us 'Nut Jobs'.
And after that, we can drop this whole thing.

Having an opinion is fine but calling people who disagree with you names is not acceptable.

Humans are animals. Therefore, animals have feelings. (I should have a degree in outsmarting people)
I like animals just as much as anyone else would, but we need protein - and protein comes from meat.

Actually you would be surprised at how much vegetarian food contains protein.
Potatoes, oranges, beans & tofu all contain some. - And thats just a few from the top of my head.

I don't consider myself a vegetarian or vegan but I might as well be one. If I cook meat at home for dinner I won't end up eating it because it grosses me out to see it all raw and stuff.

Wow, what has this turned into.
