They communicate, they have emotions, they care.

Humans are animals, you're not religious- so why do you think we're so much better than they are?

You're the delusional one. You're saying that they're non sentient, and that they're not even 'others' are they just items to you? Things to be used and abused?

Lions enjoy the kill. It's their fun- the chase, the excitement, et.c. I don't pretend to understand, but those lions in zoos really sulk.

So we are now intelligent enough to understand the suffering of others, and to lessen our impact on their pain. And I don't think lions would factory farm zebras- it would cause them to die of boredom, maybe the weak or old ones would, though... so they'd de-evolve, like us, into weak lemons, playing 'catch the zebra' computer games and painting their claws.

Lions do not factory farm zebras (for the x00th time), and that is the only way a lion can live- we have options.

And meat goes off so quickly, so so much is wasted. Alot of meat is chucked because of fear of bacterial diseases.

Evil bastard.

And that's the first time I've ever swore at someone online- thus demonstrating my opinions of your stupid ignorant viewpoint.

Not true, we breed the animals we kill. Only fish are killed wild.

I LOVE mushrooms, with herbs, or in a risotto...

There are so many alternatives to meat

Quinoa burgers

Soya mince burgers

Soya mince in soup

And they are all delicious

We've already disturbed the food cycle too much- we're barely part of nature any more.

I feel sick... how can anyone possibly think that fried corpse is a delicacy? It's weird- completely horrible.

It's disgusting! It's dead bodies! Wake up, people!

.......................................................................

Religions out of the equation, meat tastes horrible. It reeks of death and the residuals... I hated that my mother made me eat meat until I was fifteen, I still feel sick at the memory.

To factory farm and abuse, to render that what was once beautiful to a lifeless carcass. Nothing wrong with that idea?

I am an IB student, and love debating- wet noodle? I don't think so. Almost my entire IB German class is some kind of vegetarian, and they are all amazing and interesting people. Learn what you're talking about-really.

I've seen all of the following attributes in animals

Hate

Love

Friendship

Fear

Excitement

Care

Logic

Humour

Anger

Distaste

Protectiveness

And more...

Bears do not factory farm moose, and actually very rarely kill a moose- only eating unnatended young as an adult is fully capable of making micemeat of said bear.

I study animal communication, and I see sentience. I work with a mini-herd of horses- and I can understand their body language as I can speak english. It is wrong to presume they are stupid because they do not speak our language and do not look like us- that's the same morals that founded the slave trade.

Science without religion is lame

Ha, maybe science without ethics is cruel, would be better- but it wouldn't be lame- unstopable-definitely. Science and religion are independant from each other, and they always have been.

It's not only murder, it's mass murder. Opression, slaves, all on the same basis- we're more powerful than you, so we can kill/enslave you because there's nothing you can do about it.

Physically weakest. Look up de-evolution

Typo.....................................................................................................sorry.

Idiot. We're bullies because we're saying murder is unacceptable. Ha! Really get new ideas.

Our ways of killing animals are unnatural, and unfair. Does the lion hold a slaughterhouse for the zebra? No.

Yes, it is unfair to carry on killing for some twisted people's pleasure. I can't eat meat, being wicce, but I rally don't think I'd want to.
