Of course, a land of beefeaters needs butchers. Shrikes were practicing their own form of butchery – that is, their particular practice of impaling their kills from thorns and barbed wire for later eating – long before we began domesticating and slaughtering livestock on our own. Good birding and happy drinking!
Some go vegetarian first, then vegan. Then there's me, going vegetarian then vegan, and then eating filet mignon and salmon for a year before going vegan again, and my husband who went vegan overnight after being an omnivore for 38 years. You are choosing domination and enslavement and forced breeding and unnecessary slaughter.
Hal Herzog writes about how many people who say they are vegetarians will also say they ate meat within the last 24 hours. And of course, many self-identified vegetarians eat fishes and/or chickens. Of course the chicken is not recognizable from the one we just saw and loved. You say a prayer and Poof!
And the other is taking up vegetarianism. But what about the vegetarian alternative? And most of us, of course, just don't know about this. How do we know but what, once we got used to a vegetarian diet, we would find that our pleasure is scarcely diminished at all? by which animal diets exceed vegetable diets for us.
Of course, Lobo is missing the point entirely. "The Often confused with American Humane Association, they raise tens of millions, not to ‘save the animals’ as most people assume but to further the causes of vegetarianism and ending animal agriculture." And of course what we do is about the issues. We live our issues.
There are two approaches a vegetarian might take in arguing that rearing and killing animals for food is morally offensive. A vegetarian of the first sort has no grounds for objecting to the eating of animals—molluscs for example—too rudimentary in their development to feel pain. Or he could object to the killing itself.
The number of chickens, turkeys, pigs, cattle and other animals raised and slaughtered in the United States has been growing steadily for decades. This comes at an enormous cost to animal welfare, the environment and of course public health. A shift toward more vegetarian options would indeed benefit us all.
My husband has two friends (a male/female couple) who are transitioning from vegetarian to vegan and I also have two friends (both women) who are transitioning from omnivore and all are dreading Thanksgiving. And of course if you correct someone and say "Dead Turkey Day," you're "buzzkill," or imposing your beliefs or being judgmental.
God thinks vegetarians are evil, and we want to please god. Cain=farmer=evil murderer; Abel=slaughtered animals=victim/good son. Of course, she teaches Jake the prayer that makes killing the animal all better. Not to be confused with #1, this one comes directly from The Bible. Cain was a farmer, Abel was a herder. Net message?
He always refers to himself and his wife and his child as "vegetarian." But why does he say "vegetarian?" That bothers me, as there's a significant difference in motivation for vegans and vegetarians and he sounds like one, yet calls himself the other. Factory farming considers nature an obstacle to overcome" (34).
The meat industry will say yes, of course, all animals are treated and killed humanely. For some people, it is inhumane to eat meat in any situation, no matter how well the animal is treated prior to and during slaughter. In my opinion, and I am a vegetarian, the second definition of humane is the MINIMAL that we should expect.
The tiresome Hitler was a well-known vegetarian comment is included in this segment, but I found it irksome long before that. Of course, "That's not to say dogs didn't have their niche in biomedicine. Part III: Pepper Goes to Washington. It does not make them more or less a "tool."
In his fresh and candid first post (available here ), Jonathan admitted that he is struggling with the issue of ethical vegetarianism. And it certainly doesn't follow that it is permissible to eat meat that comes from animals who were forced to endure horribly inhumane factory farm conditions and who were then slaughtered inhumanely.
