yeah it is fine to kill animals for food cuz:

1. they taste good
2. they r a source of food
3. vvegies suck!

I think that it is fine to kill animals as a source of food. Considering that they are rich in fat, you get more energy from them. also, as long as we don't cause entire species to go extinct due to ever hunting/fishing, we won't ruin the earth. it is a natural cycle.

Sucks. Animals should learn to run faster. Cheetahs did, and we don't eat them now do we?

Proud PETA member, or People Eating Tasty Animals, for those of you who don't know.

Well, think about it this way. Cells are cells, whether you're eating bread or steak. I'm pretty sure the cow and the wheat had the same goal: to survive. However, that is also our goal as humans. We possess superior intellect and power, and use that power to survive. Besides, we don't go out into the wild slaughtering like there's no tomorrow.

Well, we do need meat for protein as part of our diet, besides other animals eat other animals as well. It's simply that...we don't kill animals just for food.

I'd say our technology puts us at the top of the food chain. That might seem unfair, but that's one of the things that set us apart from the rest of the Earth's creatures in my opinion.

And imagine if everyone was vegitarian. The animal population would be over populated.

It's all in the natural process. We are the predators, the other animals are the prey. Animals do it in the wild as well, but usually not as gruesome sometimes. Killing off animals can balance population, but killing off too much is something that you have to worry about.

Second, sure, animals may have feelings like us, but they mostly rely on instinct as far as we know. Again, as I said, it's a natural process and it's been going on for millions of years. So why should we all stop it now?

I'm pretty sure that animals aren't treated "horribly" because we feed the animals so they can grow bigger, and we also keep them alive. I'm pretty sure when they kill the animals that they do it as quickly and as painlessly as possible too, because I'm sure the people at slaughter-houses have some respect for the animals and wouldn't want to be in their places having their throat cut but still alive. And we don't just eat animals for enjoyment, we eat animals to survive. Sure, it might be nice to have a good steak once in awhile but we're still eating it to survive.

We are only at the top of the food chain on OUR turf, and it isn't completely true even then.
Once you step out in the wild, you are NOT at the top of the food chain.

yes, because if we didnt kill or farm animals for meat, think of what happens, the populations would go out of whack, increasing predator-prey issues. i dont think we could grow enough vegetables to feed the world now. that stuff takes time, meat takes a bullet
