When eating meat do you apologise to the animal before you eat it's flesh?!
Answers: I actually do , I just feel the need to acknowledge the fact that death creates life-nothing more complicated to it than that .
NO. Why apologize to something that has aleady been cooked? Even if were alive, I don't think it'll understand you. LOL!
The meat i eat is not typically eaten raw, so no..........but whatever suits you is fine too i guess.
hell no! did the animal apologize to the grass it ate?
No, I don't apologise to the meat, but I pray for the animals that were killed for their meat to go to heaven for their sacrificed just to let us lived.
I do think about me eating this poor animal. I thought about being a vegan but I'm not ready just yet.
No. It's dead. It doesn't care anymore.
Seriously, I am aware of the ethical questions about killing animals for food when we can feed ourselves perfectly adequately on non-animal produce (soy derivatives etc). My own personal shortcoming is that I don't care that much. I like the taste of most kinds of meat (although I'm not mad about ham) and I will go on eating it.
What I do approve of are initiatives that seek to use as much of the animal as possible, so that as little as possible is wasted. Cows, for example, yield little meat that most people would wanna buy - the bits that end up as steaks and roasts form very little of the actual carcass. Most of the cow gets thrown away or used in pet food, etc. Likewise sheep. Whereas nearly every part of a pig is potentially delicious, if you know how to cook it. If an animal is going to die for no more elevated reason than my own personal pleasure (because I don't need an animal to die in order to get my essential nutrition), then I owe it the compliment of personally consuming as much of it as possible. Then I feel a real connection to the unfortunate pig.
Would I personally kill animals to feed my family, if for some weird reason I had to? Hell yeah.
might as well apologize to the vegetables, too.
