Whats the "circle of life"?!
Whats that all about ?
And for those of us that don't eat meat, do we have a square of life ? Or rectangle ? or maybe we don't have a closed shape at all, maybe we have a "wiggly line of life"
I'm confused.
It seems to me this "circle of life" milarky is responsible for an awful lot of animal death.
Answers: People in this forum keep saying eating meat is part of the "circle of life"

People in this forum sometimes make the mistake of thinking that eating meat somehow continues the circle of life, as if supporting the meat industry is a natural part of the cycle.
They perpetuate: Grass grows, cow eats grass, man eats cow ... but then what?
Since mainstream beef, for instance, is from mass-market cow farms which consume millions of pounds of grain and millions of gallons of water, all precious resources, you can best be assured that supporting the industry damages the first part of this "circle" - the grass grows part.
Also, in a natural environment, when non-human animals make a kill and eat their prey, they still leave behind some waste that disintegrates into the soil, feeding and nourishing it so that MORE grass grows. Does that happen with the mainstream meat industry? Once again, no - in fact, the meat industry releases millions of gallons of toxic sludge, waste and disease-ridden, hormone and antibiotic and pesticide swamped "waste" into the environment, even FURTHER damaging the essential "first step" of a circle of life - that a basic resource as grass, or that fresh water, can exist.
In fact, supporting the meat industry is as disruptive as one can BE to the "circle of life" because the "end" of it (eating commercial mass-produced meat) has no continuance (meaning it cannot contribute to the "start" of the circle {grass growing, in this case}). It's a fantasy, escapist excuse for participating in a cruel, unnatural industry. A TRUE circle of life should loop around to infinity in a natural cycle, like in the wild - example, grass grows from fertile, nourished soil, herbivorous animal eats grass, carnivore eats the herbivore, herbivore's remains disintegrate to nourish soil, and when the carnivore dies they nourish the soil.
The meat eater's own disintegration into the Earth to nourish soil is also part of a "circle of life" but many people are embalmed, their bodies are loaded with toxins and then buried in shellacked, wasteful, expensive little coffins so that even in death they further poison the planet. There is absolutely no "circle" to this cycle.
(Buying local free-range, organic meat and hunting for your own meat is probably as close as one can get to actually REALLY being part of this fantasy "circle of life", otherwise eating meat in fact makes the "Circle of life" fall apart completely).
the circle of life is the cycle of life, grass grows, cow eatgs grass man eats cow ( some man anyway) man lives
Simply put, it's the natural laws. As a vegetarian, you go against this law, Your body was designed to consume meat.
I like to think that I'm a part of the "rhombus of life."
If there's no great glorious end to all this, if nothing we do matters... then all that matters is what we do… now, today. ~Angel~
circle of life, is a song by elton john
nothing more nothing less
and i am NOT trying to be flipant,
The circle of life is just another description of nature. Humans are animals, therefore everything we do is part of nature, just as everything the other animals do is part of nature. The rules must be the same or it is unfair.
"They perpetuate: Grass grows, cow eats grass, man eats cow ... but then what?"-----man plants grass/grain, thus completing the circle.
you---it's all nature...you lookin thru my Q & A??? ;-)
