Ethical vegetarians?? if you were given the choice?!
Answers: eat this chicken sandwhich or i will kill another chicken. what would you do?
The following quote would be something an ethical vegetarian or ethical pacifist would not ask: " It would be your responsiblity, not mine."
Because ethics assumes responsibility, not denies it. You would be a moral fraud if you didn't eat the sandwich for the higher good . . . given if you are really into chicken rights . . .
It makes sense that a person who said this also claims to be a "vegetarian" but sells his hay to feed cattle for slaughter and is condescending to others. He then can say, killing the cattle is your responsibility ... I only gave you the feed for them. Indeed real situations are what define us ... like this one defines an reprehensible moral fraud.
Like the company that sold the gas to the Nazis that killed 6 million Jews ... they claimed after the war that they weren't responsible for the deaths. Same ethical problem as the moral fraud of a vegetarian.
i wouldn't eat it.
but then again i'm a vegetarian for other reasons............religious if you must know.
does it make a difference? your gonna kill the other chicken for consumption anyway... KILL IT.
I wouldn't eat it. That chicken is gonna get killed sooner or later anyways. I'm obviously not vegetarian because of the whole 'animal rights' thing. I just wanna be healthier, that's all.
Honestly, that lies on you, I wouldn't eat the sandwich. I wouldn't trust you and wouldn't allow you to threaten or bully me. If you would be capable of killing an animal you would do it regardless of whether I complied or not. Anyone that tries to force someone into doing something they do not want to do has no real consideration for them.
..... let you kill another chicken. it's not like someone else wouldn't be doing that somewhere in the world anyways.
Besides IF i ate that "chicken sandwhich" i would be violently ill. I am not immune to the toxins in chicken as i have not eaten it in well over a decade. AND my body would not be able to digest it.
I would be very sick if i ate the chicken sandwhich. (or any other kind of meat product in a large dosage/quanity) and would probably have to go to the hospital.
I'm a vegetarian by choice. (not due to any political or religious reasons). I just cant stand eating the flesh of another living being. AND the fact that animals get slaughtered just for human consumption i find reprehensible. I don't care if others eat meat, i just don't.
Animal flesh... *ick!* besides, chicken looks like a human arm ... skin, bones, veins, flesh.... *how gross!* lol
?
I have never eaten meat before. - but in this case I would eat the sandwhich on two conditions.
1) you promise to never kill the other chicken.
2) you stop eating meat for a year and do not whiny and complain about it! -
so the choice is really yours! but I do not think you will giv eup meat for a year, - just to see a veggie eat meat! - so its not a big deal!
Hey that's the first time that one's been asked here. Oh wait. The # was covered up. It's actually the 431st time.
As an ethical vegetarian, I'd punch the person asking right in the mug!! But as an omnivore, I'd say thanks for the sammie.
I believe being a vegetarian is a choice, not an ethical dilemma.
Eating meat and not eating meat is like the choice between boxers and briefs.
i wouldn't do it
that's really disrespectful to say to a vegetarian
and if a vegetarian is true to what they stand for they wouldn't eat it
and truthfully would you go out to a farm pick up a chicken and slaughter it just cause a vegetarian wouldn't eat meat
wow, what is being proved
nothing
if people say that their ridiculous and probably don't value any sort of life
I pity you if you have actually said that to someone
I really really wouldn't want to. I love animals very much. I can't make you change your mind about what you choose to eat,. That's your business and honestly, I'm not going to push the issue.
I think I would feel even more terrible eating the chicken, then you killing one. It's just like supply and demand. Another chicken would have been killed anyway because someone ate a chicken.
I don't think many meat eaters understand how awful it is to feel like you've murdered something, even when you haven't. Because my actions led to the death of another living creature. I can't live with that mentality of eating someone that was alive and thriving.
Of course I've eaten meat before, and damn it's delicious. But it's already been 5 years, I can't go back now. XD
Kill the chicken just don't make me witness it.
If you were given the choice: Eat your mom or i'll kill your dad.... what would you do?
Oh, did that sound stupid? My bad.
Jezebel, lol, that was the best answer to this question!
Mmmmmm, I think I'd eat a baby Panda. They taste cute.
You're the one doing the killing, dude. The blood's not on my hands. My ethical decisions don't extend to your actions - your own ethics govern those.
I would most likely laugh at you and thereafter pretend that you don't exist.
I woulden't eat it.
Although that is a very weird/dumb situation! lol
I'm sorry, but I just don't want to consume flesh...
Leave you to kill the other chicken. It would be your responsiblity, not mine.
Its a very, very old question.
False situations do not prove anything.
If I offered you $1 Million to sleep with Hilary Clinton, would you, how about $10M, $100M ??? If at any figure you are likely to say yes, does that make you a prostitute, and we are just haggling over price ?
Real situations and real actions are what defines us.
I'd say I woulde eat the sandwich, because that chicken is already dead, and at least that way 2 chickens wouldn't be killed.
Although I would probably be sick if I swallowed it.
It would be your responsibility, not mine, so i wouldn't eat it. It would probably make me feel very ill and dirty if i ate a chicken sandwich.
i find it amazing that no vegetarians can answer this question lol.
personally i would eat the chicken sandwich as it tastes divine
I wouldn't eat it, it wouldn't be me killing the chicken it would be you, and I wouldn't be forcing you to just by not eating a sandwich so I wouldn't let you bully me into eating it. You can make your own mind up as to whether you want to kill the chicken or not.
I'd eat you, you fool. No I'd eat the chicken sandwich because it would save another animals life, if I didn't eat it, it wouldn't come back to life, so it's quite logical. I'm not squeamish about meat, I was raised to eat it, and yes I miss it, but I know it's the right thing not to eat it. It's wrong to have animals slaughtered just because you like the taste, you must understand that on some level? Anyway back to the point, I'd eat the sandwich but I'd also probably call th RSPCA on your *** ;). P.S. I'm surprised at how many people will hand over the responsibilty of an innocent animals life, if a human was holding a gun to anothers head and said eat that chicken sandwich, what would they do then? Hand over the responsibilty of that persons life? "It's not my responsibility", such an easy thing to say. Very curious.
How could i trust a person who wants to force me?
This i ask especially to Double X .
I would ask you to desist from your threatening activity. If you choose to continue I would break your neck and then proceed to remove your skin and chop you up. I would then put you through a mincing machine, put bread crumbs on you and fry you. I would then serve you at fast food outlets to the unsuspecting public who have little idea about what they are eating.
All this time I would have a big smile on my face.
