It’s an extremely logical comparison. Just because we were lucky enough to have been born humans, on the top of the food chain, does not give us the right to determine who we can slaughter for something as petty as culinary advantage. As the most intelligent species, we should also be capable of the highest form of compassion, should we not?

Not only do the animals know their inevitable fate and are in extreme fear and distress because of it, many do not die after their throats are slit and are left to bleed out. Many are still alive when they reach the “tail cutter”, “belly ripper” and skinning process… they are skinned alive. If that doesn’t sound like pure torture, I don’t know what does. I do not mean to be insensitive by any means- but meeting death by gas and not having your remains eaten sounds more humane than what I described above. Were you in a concentration camp? I hope not. Have you visited a slaughterhouse? I’m going to guess not. So shut up.

For the people that believe humans are so high and mighty that they can abuse and destroy anything in their paths… then maybe you should know that 3/4 of grain and corn produced is fed to animals raised for slaughter. If this food was fed to humans instead, it would FEED THE ENTIRE WORLD. Pretty simple solution to world hunger huh?

And those of you denying that livestock emissions contribute more GHG (main cause of global warming) than all the cars, trucks, planes, ships, trains in the world COMBINED- then you should know it is a proven fact found in the OFFICIAL global warming handbook by LiveEarth…. know your **** before you speak.

Vegetarians live ten years longer than meat eaters. Vegans, on average, fifteen years longer. We are 40% less likely to die of cancer and far less likely to develop diabetes, obesity and heart disease to name a few.

J- your mom, though she had good intentions, obviously did not do any research into being a vegetarian. There is plenty of sufficient protein in beans, nuts, soy products, legumes…. so many things. Eating bean and rice together is a complete protein, tons of iron in spinach… and daily multi-vitamins formulated just for vegetarians to make sure you didn’t miss anything!

I could go on and on, but point is… do your research. I’m a vegetarian because I love animals and think that eating the decomposing flesh of a carcass that was once a living, breathing creature is barbaric. But over my eighteen years of vegetarianism (I’m 21) I have discovered so many more reasons that enforce my choices. Even if you don’t give a flying **** about animals, you’ve got to care about the planet, starving children or at least your OWN health, right? I am yet to find a negative reason to being vegetarian. If someone on here thinks they have one, please attempt to state your argument with some form of logic instead of spewing random words that help you sleep at night. Thanks for comin out.

PS- I apologize if I’ve repeated something stated in the video, I don’t torture myself with watching those anymore.

Sounds like you have been desensitized, that you are the product of your environment, therefore you see nothing wrong with it. And to say that what is next is to criminalize predators is simply ridiculous because animals either kill because they are hungry or because they feel threatened, including humans. At least they are equipped to do so, while humans have to hack animals away, piece by piece with tools that we were not born with.
