Why do they fuss about humans who do the same?
Some people do not like abuse, torture, murder, cruelty to anything than can be subject to it (i.e humans/animals), especially if unnecessary. Also some people don't like things making the environment extremely worse and contributing to global warming. (i.e production of meat). Some people may want others to be aware of the harmful affects all meat does to the human body (i.e causes diseases, health problems, etc). Some people do world hunger and the vast amount of people starving & suffering all over the world do to certain things that humans do (i.e the production and consumption of meat).
So, I presume that is why some people get upset at humans that eat meat.
"Predators like lions, sharks, etc. eat meat. Why do they fuss about humans who do the same?"
I presume because humans do not need to eat animals for survival, and it is difficult for humans to process meat, because we were more anatomically made herbivores. The way humans produce and manufacture animals in present time is far from the way the predators do; it causes so much suffering and unimaginable pain, it destroys our environment and causes world hunger. And humans can't eat the animal like the predators do, with just are hands and teeth, because we weren't designed that way. As well we won't be able to digest & process the raw meat.
But, of course there are other reasons, as well as many people unfortunely don't care.
May I point out that certain animals also eat their children, rape each other, and abuse each other, does that mean it should be okay for human animals to do the same?
Bottom it is absolutely completely unnecessary, and harmful in every way for meat production and consumption. Harmful to the animals, to our bodies, to the environment, to our loved ones, to our planet.
Go to youtube.com or search for "meet your meat" and you'll see why.
Otherwise its three simple words: farm animal cruelty
That's a good question. I think the reason is that there are big distinctions between the situation when a lion eats meat, and the situation when a human eats meat.
Lions can't decide to live on grain and vegetables....a lion must eat meat or die. A vegetarian diet for humans, on the other hand, is actually healthier than a meat-based one. (According to the American Dietetic Association, "vegetarian diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate and provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases.")
While lions must eat meat to survive, humans eat meat simply for the pleasure of tasting meat.
One other important difference between lions and humans: Lions don't raise their prey on factory farms, where animals are constantly confined and forced to endure a lifetime of suffering like this: http://www.chooseveg.com/animal-cruelty....
Why do some people get upset at humans that don't eat animals?
Other primates like chimpanzees are vegetarians.

*yawn*
Humans aren't built to eat meat. Carnivorous animals are.
That said, I'm sure most of the ones who get "upset" (as you say. I've yet to meet any. Just the trolls on this board.) are more upset that people would condone and support factory farming and animal cruelty, much like you'd probably be upset with someone who thought abusing their kids or their dog was ok. For some people it's no different.
I eat wild shot meat that I shoot and it should be that way for everyone.but for those who answer on the back of animal cruelty at farms ,it`s rediculous to say that every frarmer is cruel and neglectful because 1or2 are, I bet the same people are the ones who shout ban guns because out of 2 million gun owners ten flip their lids and cause meyhem.
I'm vegan and I don't get upset at people that eat meat. Most of the people I love eat meat, so I'd be doing a lot of getting upset.
It's a matter of choice; we as omnivores have that choice, but carnivorous animals don't. No big deal really.
I don't know who you know that gets upset at you and other humans eating meat, but I'll hazard a guess that you and they are still school age. As they get older, they won't.
Unfortunately, some vegans and vegetarians think they are better that everyone else - however, do take note that not all vegetarians and vegans are like that.
When the people who think they are better than everyone else make a big fuss over meat eaters, people assume that every vegetarian is like that.
I don't eat meat and I don't judge meat eaters. I respect everyone's choices so I hope they respect mine.
Well I think we have a very big patience though we have to see so much meat everyday. But it's so frustrating sometimes when people are so stuck with their old habits and can't imagine that animals have their rights too and when they always want to tease vegetarians like " OH, you should taste this meat,Maria. You don't know what you miss!" Well, I know. I wasn't born a vegetarian but I certainly don't miss the meat!........??
That's a good question. I wonder why they fuss too. Don't they think about the people who don't have anything to eat like the paupers on the streets and sick children, abused children, ect...? I'm not saying all of them do. I'm just saying the vegs that tell us that it's cruel and all of that stuff. I know it's cruel, but I'm not going to stop eating all meat because I know that not all companies do that. If you realize that a lot of slaughterhouse videos are probably fake, then maybe we wouldn't worry so gosh darn much. We have worse things in the world than animal abuse. It's great that we have orgnizations trying to help them, but I mean, come on. We have to take care of our own species before helping out another because if we don't take care of our own first, then how will we take care of others? And there's starving people out there. If we put them on a veg diet, they'd die because first off, they don't know how to eat a veg diet properly. Most paupers are ignorant, so forcing them to eat nothing but vegetables wouldn't be a smart idea and they wouldn't get protein fast enough, which is what they need first. If they knew how to eat properly, they wouldn't be paupers on the street. And we have abused children. We go around shoving slaughterhouse propaganda in people's faces when we really should be going around and telling people about the abuse children go through and people in general. So really, I think vegs need to stop fussing about it. There are plenty of people in the world who are starving and they would absolutely kill for a piece of meat.
What'cha need to understand is that most people don't get all crazy about people eating meat...it isn't just about that.
When people eat meat, they are supporting factory farming. This is an industry that pumps out really bad food for us, is polluting our water recourses, depleting the rainforest, getting people sick and making a huge amount of animals suffer for your benefit. Many people who eat meat don't ever take these things into consideration, so when someone becomes vegan and changes their lives for these reasons, sometimes it can be hard to see thousands of people who just don't care.
I must say though, I have seen way more meat eaters get really angry and aggressive at vegans and veggies then the other way around, you probably just ran into the couple of angry ones out there :)
When you see answer answers such as "chimps are vegetarians" (No they are not, in addition to hunting monkeys and other primates for food, chimpanzees are also cannibals) and "humans are not built to eat meat" (yes they are, humans are not hebivores, not carnivores, but OMNIVORES) and "humans do not need to eat meat to survive" (yes they do. Most humans do not have the choices afforded western societies as most humans do not live in the west. next time, try to see how the rest of the world lives instead of staying inside that cocoon)then you can see what type of people you are dealing with. There are many of course who know better, are more considerate and will not impose or preach about their beliefs. But then you get the kids, the converted fanatics, or the simply ignorant food faddist ( the I am vegetarian, I am cool!!) whose only practical source of infomation is a YouTube or PETA video. These are the flies. You ignore them, or shoo them away. pretty soon, they will find another cause to believe in and will leave you alone.
Erm..sorry but animals need to do it to survive. They cant really go round to Sainsburys and buy a pizza. Humans in the 21st century no longer need to be carnivores with so many other alternatives. You're stuck in the past if you eat meat
I know have you've seen those Burger King commercials ? WOW those folks are pissed off !!!
I never understood that either, maybe its they cant understand that cows and such are bred for eating. Or cant comprehend what this world would be like if we let all animals run free. Do you know how many people would die each day in car accidents and such if we just let big cows and pigs run all over. The deer population where I live is already bad and costs people thousands of dollars each season. I couldnt imagine what it would be like to have deer running all over, cows going free, pigs going free, turkeys, our world would be a disaster. Everyone with children would have to have real big sturdy fences so their kids didnt get trampled by cows...their would be crap in peoples yards. Like yeah, lets be vegetarian and say animals are treated inhumane and should all run free and be wild!
They're hypocrites?
