Yes this is why I am not vegetarian / vegan.
Humans eating animals is just the same as animals eating animals.
That doesn't mean we can't be humane about the way we kill the animals though.
English
-
Straight shot arrow through the heart or lung, boom there you go. Nice clean kill. Eat the meat, use the hide for clothing and bones for arrows and knives then leave the rest that you can't use for the forest. Simple.

>humans kill animals quick and nearly painlessly >animals ripoff and eat the other animals junk, then shred the animal's anus and eat the prey while the animal is alive and in mindshatteringly horrific pain.
-
What's wrong with wanting to prevent mindshatteringly horrific pain when possible? As humans we have standards that we should hold ourselves up to. Animals r@pe each other, does that mean we should be ok with humans doing it?
-
literally wat? did you just say we should pass laws to regulate how wild animals act with other wild animals?
-
Um no... animals can do what they want. I meant although we should be able to kill animals because other animals do it, we shouldn't go around r@ping each other just because animals do it. As humans, we have made standards for ourselves and we should hold ourselves up to those.
-
But most animals don't r@pe each other. Many animals hold mating rituals in which the males compete with each other to win the females. For example, peacocks strut their feathers, and the most beautiful male of the group mates. A select few do force themselves on others, but most animals have actual rituals and practices. Not saying I'm against peacefully killing animals for food, but that is a hole in the argument.

My neighbors make dog tried to -blam!- my male dog at a picnic in front of both families. Neighbors felt intense shame[spoiler]no puppies yet[/spoiler]
-
Well my point is we can have moral standards as well as eating meat, so the specifics of which animal actions count as obscene when humans do it doesn't really matter all that much.
-
I understand that, and, like I said, I'd rather have the animal die painlessly than with the most pain possible. I just couldn't help but educate and fix a flawed example.
-
It's not really a flawed example though if, as you admitted, some animals do force themselves on others. I didn't say all or the majority of animals do it.
-
Humans have been eating meat for centuries. Get over it.
-
Fair enough, it is a select few oddballs and I can't even remember what they are at the moment. The argument, to me, made it sound like "all animals." Touche.
