Question

Why do people slaughter animals just because they are different

Answer 1

Animals kill animals all the time, why don't you complain about that?

Humans are animals too, you know.  

Answer 2

Because they are ignorant and uneducated.  

Answer 3

Because we need to eat them!  We don't slaughter them because they are different but we kill them because they are our food!

Answer 4

Are you saying that the people are different or that the animals are?  Most of the animals which are hunted are either edible or pests.  Sport hunting is responsible for the return of the wild turkey, pronghorn, elk, and white-tailed deer, of course, but state wildlife agencies get ZERO funding from the general tax fund.  Instead, they recieve money from the sale of licences and excise taxes on sporting equipment.  The biggest danger to animals, however, is loss of habitat.  Thus, when habitat is preserved for game species, nongame species also benefit.

Answer 5

Usually people slaughter animals for food.  Many animals also kill other animals for food.  Sometimes they even kill and eat people.

Answer 6

we are animals to. but im refering here to animals that arnt humans.  

animals kill other animals for food. we also kill animals for food. i find this to be ok just as long as we farm the animal specifically for food, as we kill an extencive amount of animals for food and killing them from the wild would put them as extinction fast.

now what i dont like is hunters and poachers. sometimes hunting is needed to keep animal populations at a controlled level of coarse this wouldnt be neccasary if we never started killing extensivly in the first place.

i ******* hate hunters and poachers who kill animals simply as a trophy or money, its ******* discusting, and it makes humans look like evil savages, and yet we say some animals are out to kill us.
