Oh wait, pardon me. They're small aside from when they're produced to be so big that their legs can't hold them. Just so you can eat them. Nevermind, I guess they AREN'T small. Just in pain. Normally I won't make people feel bad about eating meat, but your reasoning is so incredibly illogical. I don't even know why anyone tries, to be honest.

It's ok, I don't feel bad about it. Some animals are pets, some animals are used for food, many are neither.

But I personally wouldn't eat cat and I don't see a reason anyone else would if they had delicious beef and other meats around.

You do realise that most meat on the market comes from animals kept in attrocious conditions right? They live in their own ****, have no room to move or be animals and their young often lay their dying. Do you condone this? Yes or No? Because the meat we eat from the supermarket is from these animals. So are the eggs.

For your education:

It's not about that they are used for food, no ones arguing with that, it's how they live to be used as our food which is the problem.

I don't support terrible conditions, but at the same time I feel like people confuse animal living conditions with human living conditions. A lot of animals will roll around in their own **** and sniff each others asses. What is gross to us isn't as gross to them. I'm not going to stop eating meat because of it.

So will a lot of humans.

Situations are different, but generally if an animal is being used for it's meat, I don't care if they die.

Why would you care if animals died when they're not being used for meat? It certainly can't have anything to do with how the animal feels.

Because I don't see a point in just randomly beating a opossum or setting a kitten ablaze.

Nor do I.
But what if the people doing that sort of thing see a point in it? Maybe that's how they have fun?

You don't think they're a little sick for that?

~~Dirty~~ · 11-21-2010, 05:33 PM

I think they are a lot sick for that
