"I hope that animals one day understand that not all of us were responsible for the torture" "Anybody who doesn't believe in stopping animal abuse is a monster" "People who aren't members of PETA are either in denial, soulless, or lieing to themselves."
Yes, those are all actual quotes from animal rights activists. They're insane, and most are extremests. They tried to get the Pet Shop Boys to change their name to the Rescue Shelter Boys. They act like eating meat is the worst thing a man can do. Most are sxist against men if they're women. PETA is like the Westbro Baptist Church, except they actually believe in what they do. They treat animals like humans, and actually act like there's no distinguishing characteristic. |

Don't forget they tried to urge the town 'Turkey' to rename itself to 'Tofurkey'. If they did, they would get a tofu turkey celebration.
Totally worth it! |

"Anybody who doesn't believe in stopping animal abuse is a monster" That one isn't too bad. Animal abuse is a huge problem and is by no means a good thing. And just some info... PETA has actually done things, be they few, that have helped, while WBC has not. |

Ah yes toxic, good point. Forgot that.
Sonic, I know that PETA has, but they've done many more that are harmful. They're no different from the Animal Liberation Front in my eyes, except that they change more. Also, I know that it's not too bad, but it's still pretty extreme and biased. |

And their games.
I'm pretty sure they got no permission whatsoever for that. I'm guessing they got angry at super meat boy because everyone is supposed to make games out of tofu, OBVIOUSLY.
Anyways, I eat meat because it's natural. I don't support animal abuse, but think about it; Do animals in the wild show any mercy when hunting prey? I'm sure that kind of death is much more painful than what our chickens experience. I'm not saying we should all condemn our meals to having the slowest death possible, I'm saying humans are animals. We're at the top of the food chain. If Japanese fishermen kill dolphins because they eat the fish, the dolphins need to adapt to eating something else. The excuse we should be merciful because we have a conciseness is voided; animals do too. We take them for granted. They can feel, too. The animal abuse I dislike is the exotic pets, the overbreeding, and the overall neglect.
I don't like exotic pets as pets.
Anywho, if we kill animals, so be it. We're at the top. We can eat. Wiping out forest is one thing; eating a cheeseburger is another. One is a thing that couldn't normally be done; one is something natural (Predator eats prey.).
Just because we're intelligent and cook, process, and change up our meaty meals doesn't make it any different. It's nature. We've developed the skills to do it more efficiently, yes, but it's still us eating a animal that isn't on top like us. I don't believe in animal cruelty, however; everything deserves a humane death. If it can be made easier on the chickens/cows/etc, so be it. But we'll eat meat if it's our natural diet. PETA has done some good things, but they're going more and more overboard. Making sure that mega-food chains treat their animals humanely? Sure. Being rude, making terrible rumours and such about it to try and stop it is not.
My point is pretty much rambling. I just think PETA needs to get out of everyone's business and not be a nuisance about it if they're going to protest animal rights. Eating meat is natural; why change it? |

@Toxic
I agree. Humans are SUPPOSED to eat meat, and there are a lot of animal lovers that eat meat. There's a difference between killing a puppy and just eating a burger. :/ |

I honestly at first suspect that we weren't supposed to eat meat, then evolution came in. |

They actually could, it would just be hard since when they ate something strange it could kill them or the fishermen would make them endangered before they could get used to eating it. |

Years? It'd be a looot of years. The change in the situation is far too quick though. There's no way they could adapt to that. |

Hmmm... I wonder if there's any variable you could change in the process that would make it faster. |

| Maybe you could put some of the desired food to be eaten on the fish, and slowly increase that as the amount of fish decreases? |
