Why is it that Vegetarians make such a big deal about not killing their food..?!
Answers: When in fact countless billions of innocent little plants are slaughtered each year to feed their veggie habit!
Good point I would like to see someone explain that.
Seriously, are you kidding me right now? Why did you even come to this section just to make fun of people who have made a choice of how they want to eat and what they believe in?
yeh in my opinion most vegetarians dont consider plants as food. But animals show emotion and pain and sadness, we love animals more than plants, therefore what is "living" and "moving" means more to them. I respect vegetarians a lot even though i am not 1 of them.
im a vegetarian. to be honest i dont care about plants or animals dying. i just dont like meat.
If people are not meat eaters since they do not want to take life they have no right to be veggies as you are taking plants life.
i never thought of that lol
im not a vegetarian ... i think that eating meat is a natural thing .. i agree with the whole 'free range' thing but animals eat eat other and we are animals really lol...
maybe its cause the plants cant feel and they cant really have a life if you know what i mean...this isnt my opinion and im not saying its the opinion of all vegetarians lol just a guess!
x
well plants are not really gonna feel it
and animals are slaughtered inhumanely and its disgusting cause its sorta like eating human flesh
Plants don't have brains or nervous systems, so they can't feel pain. Did you flunk biology?
Ditto to SURREAL!
Plants don't have brains...no brains...no pain. Animals eat more plants than humans...it takes 300 lbs. of grain to feed one cow enough to make 1 lb of hamburger. Plants don't cry when you take away their young...plants don't scream when you pick them. If plants aren't consumed, they die on the vine. Why don't you meat eaters stick to your own categories and stop harassing the veggies with this stupid crap!
meat is animals.. animals that werent supposed to die, animals cant speak for themselves, so farmers and slaughter houses just kkill them for food
Yes please explain this to me while I, chop down a tree, wearing a fur coat and leather shoes, while eating a hamburger and kicking a puppy! Back off PETA I'm just kidding and being sarcastic!
What do you think your meat eats?
http://www.meat.org/ watch this and search the web for something equivalent to plant 'murder.' also, what about mowing the lawn? thats like torture huh?
the question was not why do u think its alright to kill plants..it was why do you preach about the death of animals and there slabs of meat on your plate when over a million times more plants are killed and thier rotting bodies lay on your plate...since when can a cow absorb CO2 and convert it into oxygen for the environment...never but plants do...so the more we kill the less ability we have of converting the CO2 into oxygen...try and fight that one if you can...there is nothing you can say to make it look better just except it. and beachy below...plants do bleed the just dont bleed red blood u idiot and plants do suffer...if u cut a hole in a tree sap leaks out as the tree bleeds and it can die from this..i wud call that suffering...look it up if you dont beleive me..
Actually, much more plants are grown to feed the animals than would be grown to feed people if everyone was vegetarian. Also, plants do not have a central nervous system, and therefore cannot feel like animals can.
Im a vegetarian and had to answer this question sooooo many times. its because vegetarians are usually animal lovers and we are disgusted by the idea of eating another mammel. Plants dont have FAMILIES!!!!!!!!!! its totally different. plants dont bleed and suffer when you "kill them".
I need to tell you more:
They are not: NOT KILLING. They are exterminating all livestock animals by wishing they wouldn′t exist at all.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... you are just too damn hilarious. can you please give that joke a break, ok?
wow your kind of dumb....
Your not actually killing a plant! it does not have a face or a heart...
on the other hand every piece of meat you place in your mouth at one point in its life time did.And by eating it you are provoking the meat companies to keeping killing
Because unlike animals, plants don't FEEL. they have no emotion and they don't live life like a mammel. Animals however are very aware of how they are being treated and the fact that they are being killed for someone's dinner. This is why we care.
You don't actually want a real answer to this, do you?
There's currently no reason to believe that plants (or bacteria) feel pain, as they do not have central nervous systems, nerve endings, or brains.
It's theorized that animals are able to feel pain so that they can use it for self-protection purposes. For example, if you touch something hot and feel pain, you'll learn from the pain that you should not touch that item in the future. Since plants can't move from place to place and don't need to learn to avoid certain things, this sensation would serve no purpose.
If you're truly concerned about the welfare of plants, going vegetarian is still the best option. This is because the vast majority of grains and legumes raised today are used as feed for farmed animals, and meat production is very inefficient. (For instance, cows have to eat 16 pounds of plant material in order to convert them into 1 pound of flesh). You can save many more plants’ lives by eating vegetables directly.
because they like to think they are better than us meat eaters. I love Steak!
I agree! Globally we are far better off with fewer methane producing, crop guzzling creature that provide sustinance to those higher on the food chain.
Plants are seriously more important to this planet than any animal...humans included.
Also, plants are eaten alive! ouch
Dead animals are yummy.
