Vegetarians Are Against Killing Animals For Food

[gollob]

I wonder what their thoughts are about the animal kingdom. Nearly all meat eating animals kill and eat other animals. Do vegans have a view on this or do they just pretend in does not happen

[hereIam]

I think they probably accept that that is nature in the wild, but they themselves can eat other things.

[Maydup]

Animals eat anumials, but they don't farm them.

[Maydup]

Oops typo! ^^^

Maydup - ants farm aphids.

[EDDIE51]

Yes ,it is growing animals specifically to kill them for meat that they object to.

[bainbrig]

I’m a vegetarian, and I never knew that animals ate other animals.

I thought they were vegans.

[gollob]

Not quite sure where they farm wild boar,shark,swordfish, nearly all fish, horse, loads of shellfish, then there are many birds etc etc

[bainbrig]

No, not many birds. One or two pigeons, maybe.

[bhg481]

New Forest ponies have been sold for food via France.

i have a friend who's a vegan. I never realised. until he screamed it at me from a range of 6 inches......

Cruel animals, not giving other animals a decent life by farming them and so protecting them from the perils in the wild. Ought not be allowed, that's abuse that is.

[NellieMay]

Whilst I am not a vegetarian, I must admit that I think that we eat far too much meat. I don't believe that it's wrong to kill animals to eat, because that's what animals do to each other. I think we should eat less meat and be prepared to pay more for it and that all animals should at least be allowed to live a natural life before being eaten instead of being 'grown' in factory conditions. This would increase the price of meat, but if we ate only a small amount and less often it wouldn't affect our household budgets too much. Tough on some meat producers, I agree.

[woofgang]

are you asking about vegans or vegetarians?

[RATTER15]

I think we should only eat meat that has been reared in the UK.

[david small]

It’s one thing to farm animals. But, quite another to treat them inhumanly. For instance, free range chickens rather than cage breeding then slaughtered.

[NellieMay]

Agree Ratter!

[Old_Geezer]

That might cause problems when getting trade agreements. Maybe better to insist on equal or better animal farming standards from those exporting to the UK than we practice here.

[bainbrig]

They enjoy it (being slaughtered that is). Keeps ‘em on their toes.

[david small]

You could always give it a try bainbrig.
