I personally belive there is an abundance of animales for a reason. To eat them!

So what do you people think on this subject?

our bodies are designed to consume animal protein (as well as vegetables and other foods) so yes, killing animals for food is good.

To some extent it is alright, over fishing can lead to some serious problems though. The Chesapeake Bay is in trouble if we keep over harvesting oysters, blue crabs, and other animals.

I'm vegetarian so I'm kinda agaiant it. I mean how would you feel I'f you were one of those animals that were being killed just so people can have an enjoyment that would last a few seconds? I understand about the food chain and how humans need to eat other animals in order to live, but I think tha McDonalds and other companies just simply overkill it. Most animals that are eaten are treated horribly so If they were free range I think that that would be better, but Im kinda against this.

If you kill it, you eat it. I hate people who fish and don't eat the fish. Toss it back in stupid, what do you have to lose?

Yes because 70% of it is what we eat.

Yes, I like meat. I love meat. But overeating meat isn't good, or having it too often.

Fine, I'll kick the arses of vegetarians through biology.

Alright, we have been biologically wired to eat both meat and vegetation. We are an omnivorous species. Humans are just extremely smart animals with instincts like any other. Wolves kill animals for food. Bears eat fish and berries for an example of another omnivorous species. We are more similar to the bear as to what we eat. I have heard the argument that animals are like humans. Well, no. It's technically the other way around. We have our survival instincts like animals. Animals don't use half the things humans use. Once I see a cow paying taxes, working for money and driving a car, I'll believe you. I've also heard that humans have self control, unlike animals (which contradicts the theory that animals are the same as humans).
I'm all for eating meat, so long as it's natural and no growth hormones were used to build the animal it came from.

I dont feel that killing animals for food is wrong. That is what us humans are supposed to do. Many other animals also kill for meat, but i feel it can sometimes be harder for us because we have many emotions and we are the smartest animals in the world, and some people feel bad for other animals so they wont kill them. ( I hope you guys understand what im trying to say lol )

I think it is fine to kill animals for food. As long as it is done in a humane way and not "killed for fun".

I'm for hunting, but I've seen people who just shoot an animal and leave it lay. Things like that, I am against, but as long as it's in moderation, it's a good thing. We need protein to survive, so we have to get it some way.

While the way we do it is not very natural, the very fact of eating other animals to survive is very natural. I'd find it stupid to do otherwise, and besides, the body needs it.
Morphologically, the human is an awful creature; we got intelligence over a well conceived body, so if that's our tool to reign over other species, then let's not bother ourselves with it. A tiger can easily rip ten men apart, yet we can produce firearms to overcome it; everything's fair, so why worry ourselves with the ethical part of eating meat. Of course I'm against animal cruelty, but once it's killed and wrapped in a grocery store, why let it waste huh?

It's alright to kill animals for food on 2 conditions. One you use all the animal or mostly all of it. Two there is an extreme abundance of it. XVERB uses a good example.

To some extent it is alright, over fishing can lead to some serious problems though. The Chesapeake Bay is in trouble if we keep over harvesting oysters, blue crabs, and other animals.

as long as its for food and not for fun, I think it's allright, and as long as they're not endangered
