I have no real side to this argument but I'll list some of the facts and fallacies that surround it.
Animals are dominant in this world because they are mobile, but without plants there would be no life in the first place. The world is held in an intricate web of co-existence between species. Plants nourish animals, and, through excrements, seed dispersal, and nutrient spreading, animals give back to plants, fungi, ect. Why does this matter? This entire argument of one kingdom is better than the other is ****ing bull****. Stop trying to pull it.
Next up, becoming a vegetarian will help improve your overall health because you no longer have to constantly sweat out excess grease coming from meat that your body absorbs and can't digest. Your colon will be cleaner because fiber will continuously run through your system and clean it out. Having the runs may occur (hehe Raw diet).
However, meat has loads more protein than plants. You can get your recommended dose of protein or whatever by taking pills and seeds n ****, but it won't match how much you get from eating meat, especially from poultry and fish.
Humans are omnivores, when times were hard, they relied on plants to get them through and they got a withered look because protein is necessary for building muscles. They're not malnourished because there are other means of getting protein, but they're just not as efficient.
As for the animal emotion ****, certainly you can tell they feel something because of your empathy, but there is no way to tell if they can think because, just like people, you can't read people's minds nor theirs. You can only tell how people or animals feel because of your ability to relate and understand certain emotions. (As a fun little aside, scientist grew two potted plants next to each other and attached electrode to one. They then attacked the other in front of the electrode one, tearing off leaves snapping the stem, ect and found that the device measuring the other plant went crazy when the other plant was attacked.)
If I posted anything wrong or repetitive, you'll have to forgive me, no sleep and hunger are causing me to be be a little spacey right now.
