NOPE, We are the top of the food chain!
Posted by Capmercury87Yes true. Funny how what started as our need for survival has turned to greed for materialism.
"funny how almost all my friends are against animal cruelty but still eat meat"
Yes.
If you can find a meat processing or meat farm in which the animals are taken care of and even killed with integrity let me know.
Posted by DreamyboySorry but that's not right. You should think from your conscience and answer. Saying someone else is doing something and so should you is the worst thing. You cannot condone killing of animals and then call yourself a victim when they attack you.
No way. Buddhist monks eat meat as well
Posted by saggurl88Are you willing to kill for your food then?

Posted by ufoThen why all the hue and cry over trophy hunting?
does it matter? let them be immoral
Posted by JuliietteAnd had a pet Grizzly
no. there's cruelty everywhere in every field, on humans too lol, so the only non hypocrites would be someone who lives in the woods, and made everything by their own hands.
I eat meat but those image of read meat look gross 😕

Those animals exist for human consumption. Their purpose is literally to be grown and slaughtered for our substanance.
If your a vegan your technically doing harm to animals still. Seeing as the crop lands growing your veggies had to be cleared and the homes of the animals that lived there destroyed.
Unless you grow your own food and it goes farm to table.
But like julliete pointed out, do you own clothes? Do you own a car? Home furnishings? Shoes?
Difficult to play the moral high ground when child labor made those Nike’s on your feet...

Posted by ShadowcatPrice of meat is cheaper than vegetables is mostly due to the economic policies being adopted to subsidize meat and due to the high demand. Not because of any production problem.
You do realize that a lot of people can't afford to be vegetarians, right?
Posted by LadyNeptuneDo you have such a high sense of entitlement to say that they just exist for our consumption? Yes we have made use of them for our consumption and have adopted unethical means to increase their supply to feed our demand for meat. But that does not mean they are there just for our consumption.

Do some research on the evolution of farm animals. Without human intervention and engineering of these animals, they wouldn’t exist. Fact.
Posted by Capricorn91No, unfortunately not 😢 I would have to do it caveman style and let the man go hunt and me stay in my cave. If I had to kill an animal, I'd probably just eat ants and eggs.

Posted by The_Mad_Hatterhttps://www.quora.com/in/Why-are-vegetables-in-the-U-S-more-expensive-than-meatPosted by Capricorn91Not true at all... crop farmers receive the most subsidies in all of agriculture. Crop farmers also suffer the most due to mother nature. Frost in Florida causes the oranges to die, driving up the cost to consumers due to lack of supply. An abundance of animals can influence crop production - most areas have what is called a crop deprevation tag for hunters to thin the population of crop destroying animals.Posted by ShadowcatPrice of meat is cheaper than vegetables is mostly due to the economic policies being adopted to subsidize meat and due to the high demand.

Posted by DreamyboyHey even am from there. But we worship cows and can't even think of killing them. But i wanted to know from the perspective of conscience. Maybe it's normal for you but idk why I feel it's not right.
Also, part of my culture is from Southeast Asia, Indo-China, or whatever you want to call it. We and my family have slaughtered our own cows, chicken, and pigs for consumption. I find it completely normal and we use almost every part of the animal.

Posted by DreamyboyYes I am from India. Yes I know most people from other Asian countries have meat as their main diet. And even here a lot of people are meat eaters I don't judge anyone on that. It's just when you think that a life is getting killed for your consumption and you won't be willing to do that yourself I feel it's morally wrong(not applied to you). But yeah everyone has their opinions and beliefs and no no one is less of a man since they eat meat. And i started thinking about these things since Saturn has been on me.Posted by Capricorn91If you worship cows, then I’m assuming you’re Indian descent. Part of my family’s cultural background is from Laos and the people of Lao, or most of Southeast Asia are not vegetarian. We slaughter our own animals, rear them for food, as well as use their blood for food. I’ve grown up this way as long as I can remember and see nothing wrong with it at all. I also don’t think I’m immoral at all. I grew up Buddhist when I was younger and probably am one of the nicest and friendliest guy you could meet.Posted by DreamyboyHey even am from there.

Those animals exist for human consumption. Their purpose is literally to be grown and slaughtered for our substanance.
If your a vegan your technically doing harm to animals still. Seeing as the crop lands growing your veggies had to be cleared and the homes of the animals that lived there destroyed.
Unless you grow your own food and it goes farm to table.
But like julliete pointed out, do you own clothes? Do you own a car? Home furnishings? Shoes?
Difficult to play the moral high ground when child labor made those Nike’s on your feet...
----
Being created with a purpose doesn't mean said purpose is acceptable.
Crops cause the death of animals, yes, and many of those lands are destined to feed cattle that is going to be slaughtered, causing the destruction of lands, habitats and therefore animals, and cattle itself. Many vegetarians/vegans don't support current industrialization of farms and crops and many grow their own veggetables as you say.
Vegan people I know try to not consume any product linked to animal suffering, child labour etc. they are pretty aware. Truth be told, these products are often pricey and it sucks. I personally don't condemn eating meat, but awareness is good.
