Answer 5

Or course they don't deserve it, they don't deserve to be made suffer and die for any food (including milk and eggs), entertainment, lab experiment, hunting pleasure or clothing.

What did the animals do to deserve anything? They just want to live their lives how they see fit and not die, just like us humans.

Please go vegan and stop exploiting animals, it's better for the environment and your health as well. It's so easy to be vegan now, millions are and there are alternatives to almost everything, so why not?

Answer 6

I think a personal choice should be respected - regardless if one disagrees with the reasons behind the choice.

Vegetarians do have very different reasons for choosing that lifestyle. Health-reasons, political views, religious beliefs ..

And in my view they are all valid reasons - even if I disagree with some of them.

I have been a vegetarian for 5 years in the past .. it started out as a bet (really!), after a Holiday meal with a lot of meat.

A friend of my mother's, who has herself been a vegetarian for some years, to save the life of one of her children (successfully!), said to me, that I just love meat too much to ever be a vegetarian.

So I said that starting the next day, I'd be a vegetarian. Within the first month, I had meat twice.

The second time it was a pepper steak - the first bite was good, plenty of pepper, and a wonderful sauce. The second bite was more meat than pepper, and I simply had to give up. The taste of the meat was completely revolting in my mouth.

After that I lived as a vegetarian for 5 years. Unfortunately my metabolism didn't agree with that lifestyle. I started gaining weight for no apparent reason, my eyesight got worse and I lost my breath from less and less activity. It turned out I had destroyed the hormone balance of my metabolism, so I now have a permanent metabolic disorder. I went back to meat - slowly at first, starting with fish, then adding chicken etc. That has helped keeping the metabolic disorder under control.  

Answer 7

Not only is eating meat wrong and discusting in my eyes, I also beleive supporting the fur industry, drinking milk, eating eggs and using any animal product is wrong. It's exploitation, it's torture in almost every case. It's discusting and it's all to fill a person wallet who is probably already very wealthy. That's why I'm vegan.

And to who ever says we are ment to eat meat, the human body strives on a vegan diet, ask a dietitian, most will confirm that. We have only 4 teeth that work well for eating meat, the rest are similair to a cows teeth. Greet for eating vegetables and stuff.

Answer 8

If we didn't eat any,another wild animals would eat them ...And alive.. In addition there are so valueable mineral in it..

Answer 9

I don't think its cruel to eat them, I think its cruel to kill them before you eat them.  Personally, I find industrial agriculture particularly repulsive.  It does not respect the animals' lives and they die in miserable conditions after leading miserable lives.  Peta's website explain that well enough, so I'll spare you the details.  While I still think its silly for anyone with the choice to continue eating meat, I do respect people who do it out of tradition and in a way that allows the animals to live somewhat normal lives up until their deaths.  I still don't agree with it, but it's better than buying something in a big shop.  Sorta like comparing hand-to-hand combat with nuclear war.  

Vegetarianism is a healthy, sustainable diet.  Westerners need to adopt this diet to reduce our carbon footprints - its a simple way to stop taking so much more than our share of the planet's resources.

Answer 10

I do think it is cruel to eat animals, but if we stop eating animals then they are going to be killed and put in shops anyway, and they provide us with essential vitamins and minerals, so I eat them. It's all part of the food chain.
