Will people ever stop eating animals?!
Will people ever stop eating animals?
Answers:
I hope to God we all stop. Maybe when the human race is finally sick of getting heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, cancer, Alzheimer's, then we'll finally FINALLY see the connection... "Oh wait, if I eat Fluffy, I'll get sick. Now I think I get it." DUHHHH!!!!! Or maybe we'll all die out before the animals do, die out from the illnesses we get by eating them.
To use the argument that we've always slaughtered animals for food is pure rubbish. We've always committed rape, murder, incest, and robbery. In all of human history, we've had slaves. In all of human history, we've had war and carnage. We've always had torture of prisoners of war. Does the fact that we've always done these things make it right? Of course not.
We are NOT anatomically designed for eating flesh. So many otherwise intelligent people say that since we have canines, our teeth are made for tearing flesh. OMG, who are we kidding??? Look at the canines of man, and look at the canines of meat eating animals, there's a HUGE difference. They have fangs, while our canines are puny. There's also a huge difference between the molars of carnivores, and the molars of herbivores (us!). Ours are designed to grind grain and vegetation, theirs are designed to continue tearing flesh. Meat eating animals have claws to tear flesh, we have delicate fingers to pick and peel vegetation. Their jaws only move up and down, while herbivores' jaws move side to side as well, so that we can grind grain and vegetation. Their digestive juices are SUPER STRONG, much more powerful than ours, so that they can digest raw and rotting flesh. Our digestive juices are not designed for that, they're not as strong. Their digestive tracts are much shorter than ours, that way they can eliminate rotting flesh much more quickly. Basically, their digestive tracts and juices and teeth and jaws are designed to eat entirely different things. Can we go out and gnash raw flesh and not wind up on the toilet all night? Try it.
NOW do you STILL think we're anatomically meant for eating flesh???
We are the planet's most powerful creatures, which does NOT give us the righ to slaughter those weaker than ourselves. Rather, it means we have the OBLIGATION TO TAKE CARE OF ALL OTHER CREATURES.
"When it comes to having a central nervous system, and the ability to feel pain, hunger, and thirst, a rat is a pig is a dog is a boy."
~Ingrid Newkirk, President of PETA
"But for the sake of some little mouthful of flesh, we deprive a soul of the sun and light and of that proportion of life and time it had been born into the world to enjoy.:
~Plutarch, on the eating of flesh

never!
No
I hope not.
No
I won't. So no, we won't stop eating animals. Not fair that they can eat each other, but we can't!
No. When you eat plants you kill them too. Why is that acceptable?
Right after animals stop eating people.
No. It is just the cycle of life.
Of course not,why??
Not likely. We've been doing it for millions of years.
But, I'd sure like to see us figure out some safer and more humane farming practices.
No, people will never stop eating animals.
never, it is the food chain and cycle of life
No.
nope we've done it from the beginning of time and will do it to the end of time
when they die.
nope,we have been eating them long before Jesus was born.why stop now?
I hope not
god put animals on this earth for humans to eat. we have been eating them sense the beginning of human life. what are we supposed to do, let them over populate and eat us?
Not as long as there are edible animals.
Nope. God put them here for us to eat. That is their whole existance. It's just one big food chain. That's like asking... will cougars ever stop eating rabbits.
I will stop eating animals when they stop eating eachother.
HA! and what would you have us eat? nothing but rabbit food?
Yes. When there are no more animals to eat.
Not as long as they are so darn tasty!
No. We are omnivores. We eat both veggies and meat. The way we do it insn't natural anymore, but the fact that we eat meat, is natural. Just like the many other animals out there that eat meat.
Only if compelled by moral or religious reasons.
Human beings have depended on meat supplements to their grain diet for thousands of years and it's a part of their genetic makeup.
People will never stop eating [a source] of animals,unless of course they become vegatarians.
Probably not, Humans are omnivores. Trying to deny nature just doesn't make sense. And yes, vegetarians are perfectly healthy, if having absolutely no strength is healthy.
Probably not. But if you have ever read the book "time machine" they talk about this world where they eat a bunch of different kinds of fruit.
Nope. Using guilt as motivation to decry the reality of human and animal physiology is doomed to decry itself as the reality of guilt is overwhelmingly obvious.
