Why vegetarians think that they are not cruel?
Vegetarians think that non-veg are cruel because they are killing animals. but vegetables are also live.
Answers:
This tired question is very typical of meat-eaters who are finally feeling some guilt. It is a way of distracting themselves from the fact that animals do experience suffering - real tangible suffering. Saying that "plants are alive too" is just a way to write off vegetarianism by complicating it and trying to convince yourself it's too hard to stop eating meat. It's not. Animals writhe and SCREAM in pain, just as humans do.
Many vegans/vegetarians have stopped using animal products because they've realized that the killing of an animal is often the least of its suffering. The conditions in which these animals are forced to live (never seeing sunlight, confined in spaces so small they can't turn around - for their entire lives) is so deplorable that we can't help but stop supporting those industries. Even people who love meat stop buying it for these reasons.
Please watch the short video Meet Your Meat and think about how these animals' entire lives, not just their deaths, are filled with very real pain. Here is a link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyqvdwehh... or look it up online.
Keep your mind open, friend! Start asking some REAL questions, like "Why do I feel guilty around vegetarians?".

By the way vegetarians take cow's milk but that is milk is for calf. Is it not cruelty to that calf.

That's why....eating and killing a vegetable doesn't require the inhumane slaughter of animals.
hi when some one eat non-veg than this person gait more anger from this food why i can not explain but what i can offer is one day try to meditate or make yoga with non veg food and than 2or 3 days eat veg food and try same thing again and you will feel it
"vegetables are also live"
Yes, but its rubbish to use that as a reason to sponsor cruelty, death, tourture and abuse.
This is just a cliched arguement used by meateaters to obsolve themselves from thier own guilt.
To be honest, its boring and lacks imagination.
Why not mention canine teeth, the bible says so, it tastes good, where would all the animals go......and get all the cliches done in one go.
Plants have no nervous system nor central processing system with which to process pain.
Are some meateaters really so daft that they cannot see the difference between a cow and a daffodil ???
for satisfying our hunger we need not kill animals when other forms of food available.There was a time when man also depended on animals for food.But times have passed.We know how to raise edible food.so vegetarians think they are not cruel
Good question. I'm a vegetarian and I don't eat meat because I think animals getting killed for meat is like a bambi film. Upsetting.
I don't hate people who eat meat because millons of years ago the human jaws were made to grind on flesh because if they didn't eat they would die. I don't hate people who eat flesh I just don't eat it. Thats the way I'am.
About the vegetables, It's just a plant and plants are not living things.
Vegetables and fruit are okay.
If some of you people are eating meat it's okay but don't eat veal. Thats a animal that suffers.
vegetarians think so as they r not aware of geographical climate of cold places where human have to eat non veg to survive ,as there is no plantation. But pple in tropicals can very well leave the animals, besides nature hav provided other means so in such conditions it is not necssary to kill animals.In fact it is not cruelty just mindset.
there are some people who won' t eat anything which involves killing a plant. They are called fruitarians. They only eat things like fruit which can be picked from the plant without killing it.
Well i am not satisfied with the answer
i am also a vegetarian but i am not cruel
actually non-vegetarians are also normal human beibgs
i dont find any difference
lie. my intimate friend is very very good vegetarian, but he beats his wife every day. i promise.
Firstly, Vegetarians dont think they are not cruel because they dont kill animals. There are cruel vegetarians too (though they dont kill animals). It is question of the need to kill that is the issue.
But the second part is right, Non-veg are cruel because they kill animals to satisfy their physical need (hunger) which can be easily met with many other means.
We need to understand that the vegetables that are consumed are not necessarily by taking out the life of the plants. Most of them are extracted and the plants continue to nourish further. In fact, it meets their requirement - it is worse for the plants if they are not harvested. It is the purpose of the plants to flower/fruit and then get harvested for their growth and multiplication. Most importantly, when the benefits of being a veggie is clear, it makes it even more cruel to kill animals.
Does blood splurt out of a piece of brocoli when you cut it?
Didnt think so.
Does a piece of brocoli have a heart? How about lungs?
Assume for one minute vegetables DO feel pain.
Oh no! Vegetables feel pain! Guess we better grow ten times more vegetables than we need and feed them to the animals. Then we'll eat the animals.
Because a human eating one vegetable is worse than an animal eating ten vegetables, right?
Why do stoopid meaties feel the need to ask this tired old question over and over and over and over.........!!?? You know that killing an animal and slicing it up covering the abatoir floor in blood, entrails, snot and faeces whilst trying not to barf as a fetid decaying meat smell like an unwashed kippers's * fills the air is not the same as picking fruits or veg and gently rinsing them !!!! Enjoy your rare rump steak, knowing that they may not have removed all the poop!!
in vegetables there is no blood.blood means cruality.
Mostly vegatables never stimulating sexy or cruel behaviour.Basically non-veg items are from dead animals .People are cruelly killing the animals and eat their flesh.In Stoneage period the people are under civilizised.They didnt know what to eat or leave.But now a days people are well educated and civilizised.Better to love the animals rather than eating.
Excellent question.
Plants are not killed when vegetables are plucked.
Plants are not killed when grain is picked from a dead plant.
Can you compare that with Killian one or more animals for a single meal?
Answer is obvious but a person who considers satisfaction of his/her own test buds more important than other creatures' lives will keep denying it.
Being Vegetarian is not easy. It requires discipline, strength and determination too besides passion and kindness.
Vegetarians think that they are great coz even the hindu gods don't eat non-veg and those who are vegetarians may be thinking that they are like hindu gods and following them..
There is no harm in eating non-veg coz they too have proteins and other nutritions which we need for our growth.
since non veg eat animals by slautering or killing and the people are considered ruff and tuff like animals and the veg eat only plants and vegetables which are soft , hence they are considered very soft and cruel
Of course vegetables are alive, but they do not feel, or suffer. How can you be cruel to a thing that does not experience? How can a being be the target of cruelty if that being does not feel pain or fear? "Cruelty" requires that the target of the cruelty can feel. "Cruel" is defined as "willfully or knowingly causing pain or distress to others." http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/c... By definition then you cannot be "cruel" to something that does not experience pain or distress.
By the way, a vegetarian would actually be less "cruel" to plants than a non-veg (if you could in fact be cruel to plants). The animals that the non-veg eats require many plants. If you count all the plants that are fed to the cow that you eat, the non-veg actually would be responsible for killing more plants than the vegetarian. (see PsychoCol...'s excellent answer) But like I said, speaking of "cruelty" to organisms that cannot feel is like speaking of the right to vote for organisms that cannot comprehend what it means to vote (babies, dogs, etc.)
literally, aniu,mals actual;ly have lives they need to be saved. plants may be alive , but no one know sthe hole thing behind it!!
