vegetarianism... veganism... should you be able to kill IT, if you are able to eat IT?
by Justina86 @ 2008-01-13 - 19:51:46

Jamie, Simon and I were having a conversation on vegetarianism/veganism. Is it absolutely necessary that meat-eating people should at least try killing a chicken or a pig themselves? Is it not enough that they accept the fact that animals are killed by humans and know more less what the procedure looks like... I myself definetely would not be able to kill a chicken or anything else, there is absolutely no way I'd do that! however... I do enjoy crispy chicken wings or burgers and I do know how this food gets to shops and on my plate... yet still my over-sensitivity wouldn't let me kill a pig or a cow. Is this something wrong? - that I enjoy eating it, but wouldn't kill it with my own hands. Simon and Jamie gave me a lot to think about last night...

Isn't it the way world works? food chain...

Yes it is! IT IS! Just because you ENJOY crispy chicken wings or burgers it is not a justification to harm a poor helpless creature who has done you no harm. The world is so full of delicious vegetarian food that you do not need to kill an animal to survive. Try to prick yourself with a needle. If that is painful, imagine what suffering must a poor creature be going through when it is being slaughtered. Just because it cannot fight back, people think it is not feeling the pain. Who is to say it isn't? Please resolve to stop eating meat. If enough people do that, you will have given some helpless creature a chance to carry on living for some more time.
