Extinction

[undercovers]

If everyone in the world stopped eating meat, as it has been argued recently that we could, what exactly would we do with all the animals. There would be no need for chickens, pigs, turkeys etc. As these animals cannot look after themselves in the wild, do vegetarians then see us looking after these creatures forever with no return or all these animals slowly becoming extinct (or very rare zoo animals) and is wide spread extinction what vegetarins want (they won't be suffering then will they)

Nah, Vinny100, gimme about 10 mins to do so! Come on, of course I've read the comments, and just offered mine. Got a problem with that? Or does my comment offend you?

it is a difficult discussion because it bring up a lot of emotions on both sides, but I think I.R. makes a good point, these animals are part of a food chain - if we didn't eat them something else would, and i think its fair comment that death (and life) in the wild would be much more traumatic for the animals

C'mon vinny100 - surely you must have seen those gangs (sorry prides) of Lions roaming Northumbria terrorising cows? (Looks like someone's been eating a bit too much British Beef to me...)

[I.R.]

Perhaps I should put in a word for the plants too? I mean, they're living things too! Imagine the "trauma" they face when you so cruelly pluck their fruits, and use them for food! And then, you eat some raw! How traumatic!! Let's all stick to water, it doesn't "feel" anything! P.S: just joking, no offence meant!

for me personally, the issue is not the killing of the animals, but the barbaric methods used. I am not a veggie, I love my steaks and chops, but the thought of the animals suffering disturbs me.
