    For every animal you save, I'm eating FIFTEEN.

    I hate vegetarians who either call meat eaters hypocrites for eating meat by saying that they like and care for animals and vegans that spout lies like "Oh, if you eat an egg, you kill a chicken." If they don't fall into those two categories, I have no problems with them. I eat meat, but I love animals.

    I eat beef from cows that were raised for eating, I'm not going to care for animals that were raised specifically for eating. Cows do not make fantastic pets.

    Same way I'm not going to eat for the cute little bunny rabbits that I care for.

    Though rabbit is damned tasty in red wine sauce.

    Eating anything means you kill it. If you eat something that is produced 'naturally' (ie waiting until the cow dies of old age or when fruits fall off the tree, or hand picking corn), then you have no moral problems, as long as the way you raised the lifeform was morally right.

    Otherwise vegetarians are just as bad as me.

    But I don't really bother to judge, seeing as I'm also supporting murder. What vegetarians seem to do is justify their actions because plants don't have 'feelings' or are not 'sentient', while we respond to stimuli not because we have no choice, but because we choose to.

    See the flippant attitude I'm starting to manifest? I'll move on.

    I don't mind vegitarians at all (bar the fascists), it's certainly a perfectly healthy way to live, and certainly one I look up to. All these "it ain't a balanced diet" arguments don't hold too much water - yes, there are some amino acids humans require that cannot be obtained by a plant-based diet alone, and plants aren't exactly B-vitamin powerhouses, but I'm sure there's a simple enough way around that. Plenty of benefits to be had i.e. not consuming dodgy antibiotics and hormones in animal tissue (unless you like, have your own cow or something).

    What gets on my nerves hardcore are the people who are like, blatantly crying out for meat, and make excuses like "ooh well fish doesn't count as meat" and other silly things like that.

    And I'm a non-smoker, apart from cigarettes etc. etc.

    Yes. Vegans are against eating anything that exploits an animal. That includes milk and anything made from it, along with eggs and honey (think of the bees, man).

    Eggs pop out regardless of human interference.

    and when people eat meat the animal dies. i have a solution to this grand problem, lets all just stop eating and enfuse our dna with that of plant organisms and then we can just photosynthasize, then we can all live happily ever after, how's that sound?

    Being wise comes in two parts: 1) having a lot to say and 2) not saying it.

    Sounds dandy...bar the sitting around all day with our feet in the soil. I also get sunburn very easily to boot

    Ah, but then we're murdering the photons that generate the energy necessary to start the whole damned process in the firstplace. If animals and plants get all the special treatment, how dare we say that sub-molecular particles deserve any less?

    I don't drink milk or eat eggs. I do eat cheesecake but that's cos I have no will power. I also eat no red meat or chicken.

    Tôi đói.
