If aliens decided to factory farm humans?
How would you feel if aliens decided to factory farm humans for food? I am real curious to see how meat eaters reply to this question.
Answers:
Well, I once ate a census taker's liver and fava beans with a "nice Chianti", so yes I would.
I know its ironic isn't it.
If aliens were to take over the world and they treated us in the same way that we treat other less intelligent lifeforms, ie. hunt us, experiment on us, factory farm us, then we would consider them evil.
However, this is exactly how we behave to other species on this planet.
Meat eaters really are dumb and hypocritical!
then whats the point of being a veggie :) but i think if we are farmed, then they are farming us for spare parts. u should see the movie the island. but i dont think we are being farmed anyway :)
I like the question and i'm a meat eater. Nothing beats well done pork belly.
As for the aliens. ... good luck to them. Let's hope they use all the human fat for energy purposes and then they would truly be green men from outer space :-)
If I knew that aliens were doing this, I'd feel safer knowing that they'd be less likely to snatch my body for their picnic.Also, depending on what they fed the stock, it would probably be a better quality steak than the "wild" variety.
Good question! I've stopped eating chicken coz it's so disgusting how they're reared.
Humans taste like pork.So i have been told.And if they did could we do anything about it.And have you been watching .V.On tv.The aliens ate humans on it X Cindy
If aliens existed then I would have no problem with them getting food from us but why wouldn't they eat pigs and cows like the rest of us ????
Have you ever thought that all aliens could be veggies ?? They would be the right colour for it !!!!!
I'd expect a get out of "factory farm" card for not having done so to other creatures.
Sorry but assumed you knew that the Human Race is a brand name owned by the Cygnus Space Chow Corporation, specifically the division which deals with low quality, low price, nutritionally ambiguous, fat and salt enriched food replacements.
Also available is Human Lite (low salt), Human Lean (low fat) and the recently marketed Human Zero (100% Human Free!)
And yes, I am a meat eater... mainly because the Cygnus Corporation Genetic Manipulation Department streamed my ancestors that way... the advantage being that I can cannabalise other Corporate products when the veggies run out...
(Apologies to the vegan community, that was carnivore humour)
If they're an advanced technological species, then they would only cut choice filets of buttocks from my body while I'm in the Orgaz-Matron so I won't feel a thing, and then quickly re-grow the lost tissue (again, while in harmless stasis in the Orgaz-Matron...boy I've been spending a lot of time there...but hey! there's hungry aliens to feed)
And then they would feed me as much grilled Filet Mignon steak, deep-fried bacon, and lobster as I could possibly stand (throwing in some genetically altered babes to keep me docile in my planet-sized luxurious mansion, while they repeatedly placed me in the...you guessed it...the Orgaz-Matron to harvest my opulent human flesh...
Sounds good to me....!
well, certainly I wouldn't like it and would rebel against it and try to fight them off. I'm sure they think they are the top of the food chain and have earned the right. And maybe that was true on their planet.
Oh, chickens, cattle and pigs don't seem to do that do they? Must not bother them that much. I guess it would be the curse/blessing of having a sentient brain capable of understanding such a situation and being able to formulate a plan of action against it.
Not that given the chance, a lot of wild animals won't kill us if they can, for a nice tasty dinner. We just are generally smart enough to stay out of those situations. But I hold no grudge against any animal that kills a human. It's nature.
resist as a race understand as a part of their food chain
I guess you haven't heard of AETH?
Aliens for the Ethical Treatment of Humans?
Being a far advanced race, able to traverse the universe, they would obviously have a radical organization called AETH.
AETH has long lobbied the humane slaughter of humans, even though they themselves have killed tens of thousands of humans.
It is something to consider being on the top of the food chain, we are food and we can be eaten, so if Aliens come knocking on the door, not much we would be able to do, for then they would be on top of the food chain, not worried though, I am sure some of them are veggie Aliens and don't like the treatment of humans, and wont eat it, but it would be obvious that this would all be in vain...
Amazing the similarities...
?
I too was curious to see how meat-eaters respond to this question. I notice that the vegetarians who responded felt compassion for any creatures whose lives are being appropriated, while the meat-eaters who have responded for far, seem to be totally without feelings of mercy or compassion. This question is a good one as it leads to an informal survey of the differences in character between vegetarians and meat-eaters.
They are here already. Haven't you heard of the flesh eaters?
They could be small aliens. So small, we call them a "disease".
We all(including vegetarian) are factory fed and fattened anyways by the food corporations.
So in the "eyes"(if they have any) of an alien, they wouldn't want the vegans, or the athletic type either(too stringy)...or the drugged out type(on perscript meds., or alcohol or steroids-which is in meat,or DDT in vege foods) if they were purists
well i hope they are sick!! i am a meat eater.
Hi I am a meat eater.
Lets face it, If Aliens took over the earth and decided to factory farm us, then they would have a jolly good fight on their hands. They would have no choice but to produce and kill us in secrecy. Otherwise they would probably have to kill us all or at least reduce our numbers, so that they could claim the Earth, and become the animal at the top of our food chain.
If chickens were able to run around with guns and bombs with the ability to plan how to kill us, then yes we probably wouldn't choose to mass produce them, as it would be too much hassle and the risk of human death would be too high. Our only choice would be to try to reduce their numbers to an extent that they were no longer a threat to humans or come to a mutual understanding. If humans and chickens had to neogotiate, it would denote that they were at the same level of the food chain as us.... but they can't neogotiate and are not at the same level as us.
We don't mass produce birds of prey or other such animals but as well thinking humans we have banned the killing of this type of bird as we realised that they are essential to the whole wild eco system as a whole. This ability to control and develop the food chain gives us our status at the top.
So back to your question of aliens mass producing us...... If they managed to get to our world then they obviously have technology that would be far, far, far, far in advance of us. They would be far superior to humans, to the point that if they did want to eat us we wouldn't know about it, so don't worry about it.... I mean how do you know that we aren't being mass produced anyway....
Think about it... with reference to what i said earlier, logically if they can get hear and back to their own planet safely then why would they live here. We don't live in our supermarkets do we... They can fly down, choose a human of choice, stun us, and take us home for tea, no fighting, no threats and we would be non the wiser. Just like the cows, sheep and chickens are non the wiser.
Where do you think all these missing people go to? Lets just hope that they keep thinking that we are an essential part of their eco system, yes?
how do you know ALL meat eaters on here have factory farmed meat?
That's like me saying you're a treee hugging smelly hippy with dirty hair, draining government resources and not contributing a whole lot to society...
Generalisations aren't nice are they?
I am against factory farms in all ways and means. I lament the destruction of the family farm.
But if we were treated humanely and killed as painless as possible...no problem with it at all. Of course I insist upon the same treatment for my feeder animals.
Good question. As a matter of fact for some time now as science has progressed and we are seeing more parts of animals used for human valve replacement etc. I find myself musing whether the day will come when the wife can just pop the husband in the oven.?
I'm a vegetarian and if aliens did this then I would use weapons to fight them. If I suceeded I would free the humans, if I failed I would have been killed in the fighting.
Anyway that is what I would do.
US MEAT EATERS WOULD EAT THEM 1ST
Ask also,how they would feel if aliens put them in zoos,like prisons,experimented on them til they died,left them in little crates,made them do shitty little ticks for all the other aliens to see,skinned them alive...wouldn't feel too good!
Good question.
For me it would depend on the condition they kept us in, if they kept us in the conditions like humans keep broiler chickens, battery farm hens, intensive farmed ducks, ostriches, and pigs, it would be horrible.
If I couldn't escape, I would try to make my body as poisonous to them as I could, eating filth if I thouight it would harm them.
Much like intensive farms poultry become diseased where free ranged do not.
It would be as bad for us vegetarians as it would for meat-eaters, but if we were farmed we would probably all be fed a vegetarian diet, most meat eaters eat vegetarian animals, including most large animals.
Not all meat-eaters eat meat from intensively farmed animals, if we were farmed like organic farms, and there was no where to escape to, I would just try to enjoy my life as long as I lived, with the knowledge that I wouldn't suffer the diseases of old age.
They would take one look at my body and immediately throw up so I'm safe.
i eat meat, but i do not agree with treating animals cruely. i think what you are asking is more a philosophical question. personally i do not think that humans and animals are equal. while i feel that all life should be treated respectfully, i also feel that killing a human and killing an animal are totally differant things. humans could never be farmed as we would speak out and demand to excersise our rights, animals cant, and they never will because they do not have the same intellectual capacity as we do. animals do not have a government, they can't write poetry to express how they feel, they cannot think about what might happen in the future because they cannot comprehend what it is. if you reduce humans to the same intellecutal level as animals, we might as well start pooping wherever we want and washing each other with our tongues. would you really be willing to do that?
it would be like eating vegetables that was grown in your back yard. sweet and fresh.
YYYAYYYY let the party start i think i would join the aliens and celibrate woooohhhhoooo anybody want gravy with that..?
As a meat eater, and already condemned by the veggies for slaughtering innocent animals, I would have no problem with standing up and defending myself against the offending hoards.
You see, having been trained in the art of humane ( and in some cases no so humane) slaughter, I would be able to ascertain the weak points of these invaders and use that knowledge to ensure survival.
That or run away!!
Veggies on the other hand would consider the invader to be an intelligent lifeform ( like plants) and refuse to use any form of force other than to try to pick them from the rich fertile loam in which they stand.
I bet I would be able to guess which dietary prone human would have the best chances of survival.
