How will becoming a vegetarian save animals?
Well, i was reading this one thing on goveg.com and i read that by becoming a vegetarian you can save more than one hundred animals a year, and i dont understand how. So thats where i got the question. Because its not like they know how many people to provide food for, and the animals are already killed and packaged so how would not eating the food help wouldn't it just go to waste?
Answers:
Its basic supply and demand, the less we eat, the less they will produce. Don't ever think one can't make a difference. If everyone thought that way imagine how much worse the world could be now? 1+1+1+1+1 etc..... Your giving up meat absolutely makes a difference!!
Don't let anyone make you think its hard. Its all about maintaining a balanced diet. As long as you are eating properly there is no need for supplements. There is alot of information out there that can help guide you in eating properly. All the nutrients you need can be found in your vegetables, fruits, nuts, beans, soy etc.

If there is demand, there will be FOOD! (meat)
if there isn't... there won't be (as much)
if more people were vegetarians, then the demand would be less for meat. therefore fewer animals would be killed for human consumtion
I know what youre thinking, not eating one animal ISNT going to stop it from being eaten. on the most part, thats absolutely true. but often times, people become vegetarian for themselves. they just feel more wholesome and better when they take meat outof their diet. like they were doing somehting good for the world and they dont feel guitly of eating blood, guts, and skin. :]
It won't help at all. There are still too many people in the world that love to eat meat. If you like meat then don't torture yourself by depriving yourself of what you like. If everyone in this world became veg. There would be too many animals on this earth that they would have to be put to sleep just to keep the population down. How is this fair?
I won't help. God made us at the top of the food chain for a reason. If we don't it eat, it is worse for the environment. The cows produce methane gases and if we don't eat them, there will be more gas in the air...which is a cause of global warming. So, do your part...eat a steak.
PS- What else are cows, pigs and chickens good for?
I don't think it makes much difference.
If everyone was a vegetarian then what would they do with all the animals raised for food? They would just get old and die anyway.
Not only that, everyone would be eating all the animals food, like grains, and the animals may starve.
We would save the animals by malnutrition and dying off. No humans more animals. What happens when you become a vegetarian you eat plants and fruits and kill off animals anyway. By leaving them with no habitat and no food . It's a vicious cycle.
okay i'm a lacto-ovo vegitarian which means you dont eat anything slauhghtered which means meat but you can eta dairy products. my opinion on it is if you dont eat meat then they dont have to slaughter it to be put into your mouth. but if you become vegitarian its a hard task becasuse you have to takes lots of vitamins and you also have to make protein shakes. you need your protein. your supposed to have at least 33grams of protien a day. so yea i hope my answer helped you a little bit.
I think that vegitarians in large amounts save thousands of animals a day. but i love to eat meat!!!! YUMMY COWS!
Not that it would ever happen, but don't you think if all humans decided to not eat meat untill all the cows, pigs and chickens, etc were all gone, that some would end up eating each other?
It's not going to make a difference. If there is a lower demand here, the same number of animals will STILL be slaughtered, but the meat sent overseas for consumption, and at a higher profit for the meatpackers.
Since less people buy meat, they make less meat...which means, they kill less animals.
It's supply and demand.
And whoever said that if we don't eat cows they will produce more and more methane gas doesn't have a clue. I don't even want to explain it.
well, it's all about supply and demand. the less demand there is for meat, the less the farms will have to supply it. conditions on factory farms have become so. . . cruel and inhumane because they have the demand for mass-production. mass production=not caring for the individuals. in this case, the individuals are the animals. veganism and vegetarianism are just ideas- but with enough people behind those ideas and those protests, it becomes something real. and REAL things convince people to change their ways, not empty promises. the more vegans and vegetarians there are, the more people see and hear about the cruelty, the more people will change. and the more people stop demanding meat and dairy,(i.e.- not eating/drinking it) the less demand there is, the less supply is needed, and therefore more animals each year are saved.
Vegetarianism isn't good for the animals. If enough people went veggie to actually affect the industry at all, and the demand for meat decreased, it would mean animals which were surplus to requirement. Veggies're kidding themselves if they think that would mean they'd live happily ever after, as they couldn't be sold no one would want to keep them, and they'd still be slaughtered.
The second farmers couldn't sell their livestock, the second they couldn't make a profit, they wouldn't keep them any more. Keeping animals isn't cheap, and to keep them, without profit, would be hugely expensive to any farmer. How many do you reckon would be prepared to make that kind of loss?
Now, what'd happen then? Maybe a few wild pigs or goats would stay alive, but for the most part it would be impossible to release them into the wild. The vast majority would have to be slaughtered.
Even if you argue that less are bred instead, that still means tha animals are killed, ans still doesn't save any animals.
Well if the companies notice that less people eat meat, then soon enough they would not kill as much animals, so the meat wont go to waste anymore
