Do you think animals have feelings,If so why do we eat them !!!?
Answers:
yes, because they are delicious
I don't eat them. And I'm convinced they do have feelings. they at least know good and bad, and can sense that in a person.
Yes they have feelings too,But who cares it's food and food is food. Weirdo Vegans think it's cruel it's the food chain for godsake !
Because it's part of the natural food chain, designed by nature. If one can live healthily without meat products, more power to them, but like religion, it's wrong to impose your beliefs on others. Do all vegans and vegetarians who choose this path due to moral convictions all also believe that abortions are morally wrong? I highly doubt it.
yes animals have feelings
and i eat fish, chicken and beef
because they taste good
I don't think most animals have feelings and I don;t think they can suffer. Oh, they can feel pain, of that I am in no doubt, but I don't think they are conscious. That they aren't conscious means that they don't know they exist, and as such they can't comprehend pain.
Imagine someone in a coma. If you were to go and stick a pin in their arm, knowing they couldn't feel it, would it be mean? Of course not; their nerves would still carry the message of pain as before, and they might even pull away, but they, being unconscious, wouldn't be able to feel it or suffer. It's the same for many animals.
Any movement most animals makes is governed by instinct, albeit very complex instinct, but that alone. They react to a situation in much the same way as, were you to stick your hand over a flame, you're pull it back instantly. That they can react to situations doesn't mean they are conscious. They can't adapt to unfamiliar situations. They can't do anything other that what comes natural to them. Although they are very much alive, they don't know that they are, and as such they can't suffer. Therefore, why should you feel bad for animals, when they can't?
if enough people went veggie to actually affect the industry at all, and the demand for meat decreased, it would mean animals which were surplus to requirement. You're kidding yourself if you think that would mean they'd live happily ever after, as they couldn't be sold no one would want to keep them, and they'd still be slaughtered.
Think about it, the second farmers couldn't sell their livestock, the second they couldn't make a profit, they wouldn't keep them any more. Keeping animals isn't cheap, and to keep them, without profit, would be hugely expensive to any farmer. How many do you reckon would be prepared to make that kind of loss?
Now, what'd happen then? Maybe a few wild pigs or goats would stay alive, but for the most part it would be impossible to release them into the wild. The vast majority would have to be slaughtered.
I quote "If no one were allowed to farm animals, farms would grow crops instead. The first thing to go would be all the animals. Once the rural landscape were rid of cattle, sheep, and the like, fields would get larger, for the convenience of the combine harvesters, and hedgerows would go. Wild animals like rabbits would now be a more major pest. No farmer would want animals eating the plants, and so the war on such animals would intensify. Grown in the fields would be domesticate species of food crops, and so the number of plant species would decline."
Domestication is one of the best things that can happen to animals. If the golden eagle tasted any good you can bet your life it wouldn't be nearly extinct.
I quote "In the wild, a sheep would have to look for food, compete for it, jockey for position in the herd, look out for predators, guard its offspring, and it one day would die because of some accident, perhaps a fall, some nasty illness, or it would become weak and have its throat ripped out by the local predators. By striking contrast, the life of a farmed sheep is rather different. A farmed sheep has complete protection from predators; all the food of exactly its favourite kind at its feet all day every day, for which it does not have to compete; no competition for mates; no need to guard offspring; free health care; free haircuts; it is very unlikely to die in childbirth, and unlikely to die a nasty death. True, half a ewe’s offspring are taken away and killed. However, in the wild, a ewe would lose most of its offspring anyway, and in nastier circumstances. By the standards of the natural wild, a sheep’s life is about as cushy as a life could possibly be."
This is true, animals in the wild invariably die violent deaths. the closest an animal will get to dying of old age is being picked by a predator because it it old and therefore an easier to target, and never something so nice as a quick bolt through the brain. Farmed animals invariably lead happier, healthier, less stressful lives than those in the wild.
