Why peoples kill the animals to eat them?what they take from that?
Answers:
I think it all stemmed from our early ancestors who didn't know how to plant seeds and raise a crop or how to store food during the long winter months.
The 'cave men' were hungry and cold in those long months... the easiest and most available food (and clothing) to them was other animals... just to survive.
It's just unfortunate after so many thousands of years, that eating other animals is still considered a necessity to most people in this society.
I'm disgusted that I used to eat meat... excuse me while I puke.
Why do sharks eat fish?
Why do lions eat antelopes?
Humans tend to only eat herbivore creatures.
Man is not built as a carnivore. If we were carnivore/omnivore, we would have the physical tools built into us to hunt... i.e claws, large teeth (no, we don't have proper 'canines') etc. The fact is, we need machines and weapons to kill becayse we are incapable of doing it alone. We don't have the digestive systems to handle swallowing feathers, we don't pant to cool our bodies down, we are poor runners/hunters (being two-legged says it all, really). We are vegetarians.
At some point in the past, we would have been vegetarians, or scavengers (omnivorous, but not by design). At some point, our ancestors became hunters and so began our unnatural taste for meat and blood. Just because they decided to hunt, does not make us omnivores now. Luckily in the west, we have an abundance of food and can make the right decision to take our bodies back to nature.
Fruit, veg and grains are vital for human health. You can live without meat and dairy, but will die without fruit and veg.
People are greedy. They have a taste for meat and blood and have grown accustomed to it. That's why they get so panicky at the thought of not being able to eat fish again (because of over-fishing and pollution etc). That's why many show resentment towards vegetarians. Deep down, it's all about what's right... and having the local supermarket poison, torture and murder animals for flesh which rots in our body, is WRONG, WRONG WRONG.
Even I dont like the idea of killing animals and eating them. That doesn't sound like humanity. I eat meat but I am looking to discontinue it completely. Of course you dont get anything from eating meat..are vegeterians surviving
Because God made us omnivores.
They think that animals are yummy. That's about as far as they can think, because generally somebody with a brain would realise that clogging up your colon and arteries with the garbage of factory farming is not as healthy as enjoying the benefits of a balanced diet filled with colorful fruits, veggies and grains. Since they don't have brains, they keep on wanting what they find yummy.
PS. Sorry if I offended anyone, but if I did you shouldn't be in the vegetarian section anyway.
some people think they have the right to because they consider humans superior to animals. others simply do not care for the suffering of anyone besides themselves.
Cause it took a million years to climb to the top of the dang food chain and I aint coming down.
The elementary schools in your hood are probably offering tutoring. Try it out.
for good health!
It was the ancient time when people used to kill animal for their prime source of food.at that time there was lack of vegetation so, they were dependent on those animals. But now a days the amount af protein or fat that we get from animals can be compensated with vegetations.
Moreover people eat animals for taste what I perceive.
Because, my friend, humans are omnivores. A Tiger also kills other animals for food, so do cats, dogs, fish and amphibians.
Hunting was an inherent trait in prehistoric man, he used to enjoy both meat and vegetable.
Eating vegetarian or non-vegetarian food is a matter of personal beliefs, and such questions don't serve much purpose in the public domain, as most people shall continue eating what they are unless they feel the need to change. I might ask the same question in a different way: Why do people kill vegetables, leaves, roots, stems, fruits and trees to eat them? What do they get from that? I believe the answer is obvious. So is it in the case of meat.
No sensible vegans can contest that we were deigned to eat meat. Even most vegan scientists agree that human's are designed to eat meat, that is not in question.
That we do not have claws, talons, or incisors to hunt proves nothing. When early hominids ate meat they scavenged it, as vultures do, using their fingers to get the sinews and meat other animals couldn't. It was only after that that they began to hunt the meat themselves, and only much later they began to cook it. It is interesting that even now if someone was brought up eating raw meat he would have no problem with it.
The last few million years of human evolution have revolved completely around tools. We used advanced stone tools long before we began to hunt our own meat, and as such there was no need for evolution to bestow us with large claws or teeth to kill prey.
Simple research into human biology reveals how we are meant to eat meat. For one thing, our body produces hydrochloric acid and meat splitting enzymes that herbivores don't produce and are solely used for the digestion of meat. There are adaptations to our teeth (not incisors, rather the size of the jaw), stomach and intestines which have made a human being very adept at meat digestion. There is nothing wrong with the way our body digests meat, and we are so adept at eating it no scientists are of any doubt we've evolved to eat it.
In contrast, there are many reasons we aren't naturally herbivores. We cannot naturally get all the nutrients we need without animal products naturally. Vitamin B12 cannot be got, even now, without animal products or supplements, and a lack of it can cause anaemia and impending death. 60% of vegans even now have some level of B12 deficiency, as opposed to no meat eaters, which says something about how well adapted we are to a vegan diet.
All other nutriets can be got natually. That owes to that vegtables can now be sold all year round, even out of season, and can be flown into the country from all over the world. In bygone times people could only eat the relatively small range of plants that grew in their ecosytem, and only when they were in season. Thus many more nutrients would have been unavailable and still more unavaillable for most of he year. Until very recently it would have been impossible for a vegan human to live naturally without dying very quickly.
Now, meat makes up for all these lost nutrients very nicely, and it really shows how we aren't naturally vegans, as until very recently it was impossible to live like that.

"We don't have the digestive systems to handle swallowing feathers, we don't pant to cool our bodies down, we are poor runners/hunters (being two-legged says it all, really). We are vegetarians."
Panting to cool our bodies down has nothing to do with vegetarianism. That most carnivores pant instead of sweat is that almost all mamalian carnivores come from the order 'carnivora' which contains bears, cats, dogs, stoats, weasles, badgers, wolverines, etc. They are very closely related to each other and we aren't, hence why they are all likely to all do similar things, like pant, but this has no bearing on diet.
That we have opposable thumbs, and almost every other species with thumbs is a tree dweller, doesn't mean we are meant to live in trees now, and we haven't been for the last few million years.
Why would we need to swallow feathers? We aren't like the cats and dogs of the world who just tear off flesh and swallow it down with their mouths alone (although I think you'll find cats do a reasonable job of plucking birds before they eat them), we have hands and can pick of feathers and other things like that which have no nutritional benefit, and this has always been the case.
We are poor runners, yes, we aren't poor hunters. Go to some of the primative societies still around today and you'll find that there are extremely skilled hunters who can likk large animals with just a spear. If we were poor hunters there wouldn't have been much hunting around in the days even before *stone* tipped spears came into fashion.
There are still communities today, notably some tribes of African Bushmen, who hunt by chasing down elands and giraffes to exaustion (and we're not talking slow animals here, and then finishing them off when they collapse.
Humans can be very skilled hunters and trackers and that you've never been exposed to those skills doesn't mean humans are intrinsically bad hunters.
The main feature of hunting in humans however was never weapons, but teamwork, and it is thought that the teamwork needed to hunt larger animals is one of the main factors contributing to the development of our society.

True, humans didn't always hunt, but as I said earlier they scavenged meat left by larger animals. You don't need a different digestive system to eat scavenged meat than hunted meat.
It is also worth noting humans began hunting meat several species back in evolution before we turned up, and several million years, we ate scavenged meat before that and it is though we would have eaten meat, like chimanzeesand many other primates, before we even left the trees.
If meat eating runs that far back, it cannot be described as unnatural.
@ Sam the Man
Again on evolution, it is thought humans could never have evolved their huge brains, which require 20% of the energy we consume, without meat. Plants are perfectly adequate to form the smaller brains of apes, but since leaving the trees the human brain has increased in size dramatically and without meat that wouldn't have been able to happen.
As such, you can attribute your intelligence to your ancestors meat eating.
And meat doesn't fill your arteries or colon with gunk. If that were so explain why the few carnivorous human tribes around, the Masai and Inuit, have the lowest rates of heart disease, and some of the best health.
Atherosclerosis can be attributed to many other factors than meat, and the explanation to why veggies are less likely to get it is that they are more likely to go out of their way to avoid them.
