First of all Tsumaru is uneducated when it comes to foods...especially the protein issue. Please read all of the information below. It gives you great details of the benefits of a vegetarian/vegan lifestyle.
What is a Vegan?
A vegan is someone who, for various reasons, chooses to avoid using or consuming animal products. While vegetarians choose not to use flesh foods, vegans also avoid dairy and eggs, as well as fur, leather, wool, down, and cosmetics or chemical products tested on animals.
Veganism, the natural extension of vegetarianism, is an integral component of a cruelty-free lifestyle. Living vegan provides numerous benefits to animals' lives, to the environment, and to our own health–through a healthy diet and lifestyle.
For The Animals
Despite the common belief that drinking milk or eating eggs does not kill animals, commercially-raised dairy cows and egg-laying chickens, whether factory-farmed or "free range", are slaughtered when their production rates decline. The same factory farm methods that are used to produce most meats are also used to produce most milk and eggs. These cows and chickens live their short lives caged, drugged, mutilated, and deprived of their most basic freedoms.
On U.S. farms, egg-laying hens spend their entire lives in a battery cage with a floor area the size of a vinyl record cover. Living on wire floors that deform their feet, in cages so tiny they cannot stretch their wings, and covered with excrement from cages above them, these chickens suffer lameness, bone disease, and obsessive pecking, which is curbed by searing the beaks off young chicks. Although chickens can live up to 15 years, they are usually slaughtered when their egg production rates decline after two years. Hatcheries have no use for male chicks, so they are killed by suffocation, decapitation, gassing, or crushing.
As with any mammal, cows produce milk only when pregnant and stop after their calves have been weaned. When a dairy cow delivers a female calf, the calf becomes a dairy cow herself, born to live in the same conditions as her mother. But when a dairy cow delivers a male calf, the calf is sold to a veal farm within days of birth, where he is tethered to a stall, deprived of food and exercise, and soon slaughtered for meat. Life is only a few years longer for the mother. Because it is unprofitable to keep cows alive once their milk production declines, dairy cows are usually slaughtered at 5 years of age. Thus, a cow's normal lifespan of 25 years is cut 20 years short just to cut costs and maximize production.
Today's farms are not like the ones most of us learned about in school; they are mechanized factories where an animal's welfare is of little concern compared to profit. Veganism emerges as the lifestyle most consistent with the philosophy that animals are not ours to use.
For The Environment
Animal agriculture takes a devastating toll on the earth. It is an inefficient way of producing food, since feed for farm animals requires land, water, fertilizer, and other resources that could otherwise have been used directly for producing human food.
Animal agriculture's dependence on higher yields accelerates topsoil erosion on our farmlands, rendering land less productive for crop cultivation, and forcing the conversion of wilderness to grazing and farm lands. Animal waste from massive feedlots and factory farms is a leading cause of pollution in our groundwater and rivers. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization has linked animal agriculture to a number of other environmental problems, including: contamination of aquatic ecosystems, soil, and drinking water by manure, pesticides, and fertilizers; acid rain from ammonia emissions; greenhouse gas production; and depletion of aquifers for irrigation.
In a time when population pressures have become an increasing stress on the environment, there are additional arguments for a vegan diet. The United Nations has reported that a vegan diet can feed many more people than an animal-based diet. For instance, projections have estimated that the 1992 food supply could have fed about 6.3 billion people on a purely vegetarian diet.
For Your Health
The consumption of animal fats and proteins has been linked to heart disease, colon and lung cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes, kidney disease, hypertension, obesity, and a number of other debilitating conditions. Cows' milk contains ideal amounts of fat and protein for young calves, but far too much for humans. And eggs are higher in cholesterol than any other food, making them a leading contributor to cardiovascular disease. The American Dietetic Association reports that vegetarian/vegan diets are associated with reduced risks for all of these conditions.
Vegan foods, such as whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and beans, are low in fat, contain no cholesterol, and are rich in fiber and nutrients. Vegans can get all the protein they need from legumes (e.g., beans, tofu, peanuts) and grains (e.g., rice, corn, whole wheat breads and pastas); calcium from broccoli, kale, collard greens, tofu, fortified juices and soymilks; iron from chickpeas, spinach, pinto beans, and soy products; and B12 from fortified foods or supplements.
With planning, a vegan diet can provide all the nutrients we were taught as schoolchildren came only from animal products.
Really depends on why your not eating them. If its because you dont want to cause animal suffering, then Yes it would be hypocritical to wear them.
youd have to give up leather, and fur, plus anytihng tested on animals.
You can look at the websites listed below, they are vegan clothing manufactuers, and will help point you in the right direction.
Good Luck on becoming Vegan!
I'm not a vegetarian, but I don't believe in kill animals for fur. And no, you should not wear it if your a vegetarian. That's just not right at all.
Be vegetarian, its always good. And all great Saints have always adviced to remove the dependency of the flesh and the products that are derived from the animals. The law of cause and effect is always applied for all living beings. What you will do, you will get. If you think your activity is harming any one (either they are human being or animal) just stop that.

Well it's your own decision whether something is right or wrong. Where the world stands at the moment, there is no evidence of any objective morality. It is up to your own judgement.
I, personally, eat meat because I just enjoy the taste of it (in most cases) and recognise its nutritional value. It is in our nature as animals to eat flesh, just like a lion does. And yes, we do need meat to survive. Or, more aptly, we require proteins which come predominantly from meat. There are other sources, of course, but I don't see it as objectionable to go for the simpler, more abundant and more complete source.
I do, however, agree that many animals suffer. I don't see that as a need to stop eating meat, but rather as a need to cause change in the treatment of livestock. It's a hard thing to do, and I'm not sure how to go about it, but I do believe it needs to be done. Don't be fooled into believing fish don't suffer at all, however. If you consider it, every single fish you eat has essentially suffocated. It is not a painless death by any means. They are pulled up in massive nets, hundreds of fish all together, drawn out of the water. Now, fish cannot breathe except through water. So in a way they are essentially suffocating and dying from being in the air in the same way that you would die from drowning in the water. Not pleasant. Certainly not as bad as the suffering through entire lives that livestock faces - but I think their last moments are probably quite painful. Certainly I think it makes more sense to drop eating fish than to drop eating eggs which doesn't actually harm any living creature.
Anyway, if you're against eating animals on moral grounds - I would assume you should be against wearing them or any of that stuff as well. They typically live in just as bad circumstances and die in the same way as if it were being processed for meat. In terms of what you should stop wearing - obviously I assume you can recognise most furs. Leather is also from animal hides (usually cattle). I think that's about it though - most clothing is synthetic material nowadays, you should be fine.
Sorry about the massive length, by the way. I should be writing an essay for university, but I'm procrastinating. >_>
tsumaru seems a little confused at best, hypocrtical at worst.
The "need meat" / protien statements are not true. There is no other way to describe them.
Comparing mans approach to eating meat with a lions is way too simplistic even for the most basic of discussions.
Do you chase Gazelles around the tundra and kill it with your bare hands, eating the flesh raw ?
Does a lion cage up Zebras in barns with thousands of othere zebras all thier lifes just so it can slaughter them for food ?
No, so that comparison can stop there - there is nothing to compare.
Tsuamu claims s/he recognises animal suffering but does not know how to go about changing the treatment of livestock.
eeerrr, stop supporting it ?
or support CIWF or such ?
There, that wasn't too difficult and certainly not a "hard thing to do".
In fact, you could take that action instantly. "from now on, i will not support poor animal treatment."
saying its hard, difficult or don't know how is just excuses really. There is a ton of evidence and examples of how to help stop/reduce cruelty to animals available
Its down to the will to do it. If people don't have the will, they should just say so.
Eating eggs harms millions of creatures. Hens are killed at 9 motnhs old rather than a natural 10 year old death. They are generally housed in appauling conditions.
Sorry, but I don't see any complexity in this. If you want to reduce/stop animals suffering at your expense, you can do it, today.
fish are not a good thing to eat, they are netted out of the ocean and have no water to breath they are then basically dround on land in the baot and most of the time are still alive when they are thrown around in factoires
can't understand why you don't eat meat, if the Lord and meant us to be veggies He wouldn't have invented bacon!
Hello
Yes I am against eating of Animals and Killing of Animals also.
But what I can do ?
All Animals are related to our Environmental. Without Animlas we can not imagine about our ECO System.
1.Goat/Sheep/Bear is killed for Flesh, skin and Fur.
2.Elephant/Deer is killed for Tusk
3.Chicken/Pig/Cows/Buffolos------killi... for meat
4.Many Birds are killed for feathers.
