Logically, animals have about the same odds as plants when it comes to having feelings. The only difference is the brain, but tell me, when was it proven that an animal brain operates the same way a human brain does.

And don't take all of this the wrong way. I don't hate vegans or anything. I just don't understand why the limiting of your diet to plants does anything to help this earth.

Hunting and the meat we actually eat are two pretty different scenarios. Which is why I'm so tired of meat-eaters pulling this argument, its just as bad as some of the crap vegetarians try and pull. The most bought meats are stuff like chickens, cows, turkeys, pigs etc, farm animals not deer and the other stuff people typically hunt.

I understand. Again, though I don't understand how we can disregard plants like they are nothing, but act like animals are equal to humans. Plus these animals are not innocent, by your standards. All kinds of animals we eat, eat all kinds of innocent organisms.
