I have definitely thought of that. What if some alien species came here and decided of all the tasty morsels on planet Earth, that they like human flesh best?
What if they let us live in spaces not big enough to move, with thousands and thousands of people to one building? When the bugs get out of control from those cramped quarters, they could just spray us with pesticides. Or, when we're all constantly sick from living on top of each other, they could just inject us with lots of antibiotics...profilactically just to be sure. Being a woman would be a special joy, I'm sure, considering they'd make us be pregnant once a year -- if we were lucky it would be artificial insemination over outright rape. Then, when the baby comes, they'd snatch it away and we'd never see it again. We'd never know anything about what happened to our children except that it was likely they had the same fate as us. Then, maybe they'd hook us up to milking machines. If we lost some of our ability to produce milk, there's always hormones to make things right again. Then there's the food we'd get. Maybe they'd decide that rendered human parts would make a good diet? You know, all those cancerous people who couldn't be made into steaks should be used somehow...why not as protein concentrate?
But hey, there's always the circle of life argument. Bigger badder human-eating aliens would just be the food chain in action. If they are smarter than us, then they deserve to dominate us in any way they see fit, right? The aliens say, "If humans weren't meant to be eaten, why are they made out of meat?"
Most people's problem is that they don't consider humans animals. However, humans ARE animals and there is always the possibility of a more dominating species coming along and killing humans for selfish reasons. So yes, i have thought of it like that.
It's called a lion, or polar bear. and that is life.
Yeah I've thought like this but this larger creature would then breed us specifically for eating and there's jack we could do about it.
I never killed it if I don't eat it it's going to get wasted then there would of been no purpose in the death. That's the way I think and yes I love animals just eat them too.
Spend a week in the jungles of Africa. You'll soon realize your not at the top of the food chain anymore. Just about about every living creature there is out to eat you! There are ants that will kill you in a minute!
I can relate to your feelings, and I agree that humans shouldn't eat meat. Betwixt the diseases, hormones, and fecal matter in the blood I, personally, am afraid to partake, anymore.
Enjoy.
I look at it this way, we are the intelligent creatures on this earth. We cut down trees for shelter and people get mad. We kill animals for food and other products you get mad. If all humans quit doing all of the things everyone little group wanted us to we would be living without food, without shleter, without a whole lot of everything. You choose to be vegan good for you! but trying to convert the whole race to this is not in anyones best interest.
Bigger and stronger animals such as tigers, lions, bears and other predators will and DO eat people if and when they have a chance. Not only them but snakes, Komodo dragons, sharks etc. Even the "puny"animals such as bats, fleas, ticks, mosquitos etc feed on people all the time.
Wild animals do not eat for pleasure (or at least very seldom do). All wild animals, carnivores, omnivores and herbivores, eat for survival. So do men, who is incidentally, a species of animal. If you stop eating or do but are not getting the right nutrients, you will die or at the very least not live as long as those who do. While it is common to see men eat for pleasure, I can guarantee you more people eat for survival. If that happens to be meat; hunted, purchased, trapped, scavenged or whatever then so be it. If he has to eat plant food; sown, grown, harvested, bought, foraged or whatever, then so be it too. Or as the vast majority of people do, a combintion of both.
What do I think about animals eating people? Nothing. If it was me, I am or will be dead and will not have time to contemplate. Would I like it? Of course not. Does a gazelle like it if a lion jumps and eats it because it is the "natural" act that vegetarians /vegans/AR activists accept? Of course not.
Being eaten means my death. Why would I contemplate or dwell on such thoughts when sharing a happy moment with my family?
You are right...people excused their meat consumption with the protein we need as human... but you can have a well balanced diet with out eating meat.And if you are in a transition and you really like to eat something like meat in the market you could find great soy based meat substitution.So there's no excused to eat meat and be cruel with the animals.
You are not the only one to think of this. Haven't you seen War of the Worlds? Same principle. And to answer your question, I wouldn't like it very much.
What I need to ask is--are you 12? Should you be in school learning how to spell and speak proper english?
Hi,
Yes, I have had those thoughts... but it has not been enough to make me restructure my diet. I accept that others cannot eat meat due to their convictions and I honour them for their conscience. But I really do need to continue my own lifestyle, as this is how I was raised and I do not feel any need to change. My main thing is to eat as much vegetable as I can, but if I need protein, then I will have animal product.
Cheers
Lisa
That would be called evolution and survival of the fittest or smartest.
neva it doesn't sound like she's trying to convert the whole race! sounds like she's just asking if people have stopped adn thought about something in a different way... sorry, but most people that eat meat (or do any number of other things) do so because they were born and raised doing those things and it's "normal" and they never really stop and think about it.
also most people that don't eat meat are not just against "eating animals" but the PROCESS of how that meat is produced. if humans were left in the wild to hunt meat they'd be eating much less of it then when it's conveniently churned out of factory farms and animals are pumped full of antibiotics so we can get more of them. it's the process that makes it cruel. ok you like eating meat that's fine, but how many have stopped and thought about the immense pain and suffering that animals that feel pain JUST LIKE WE DO go through so you can have that burger that you don't even need?
asking people to think is not the same as trying to convert the race. i know plenty of people who have thought and reserached and still eat meat, and then others who just eat it because well that's normal or they mistakenly think they have to to get protein.
i have thought about that, and I always think about the fact that what if that bigger creature comes and eats our children. kinda like how some people eat veal (baby cows). and thats when i am glad I am vegan!
Haha everybody says I'm crazy when I say something like this! But I'm not!!! I don't eat meat because I care about animals, and people get on me about that ALL the time! ><
Yes, I've thought about it too actually.
It would be pretty scary especially since 'we' would know wat was going on.....unlike the cows in the pasture..lol they dont have a clue that their life is coming to an end.
So it would be worse for us....we would all be pretty freaked out over it.
If ants were a whole lot bigger then they would actually be the ones to do it to us!
They actually ALREADY do that with aphids! Seriously!
They capture aphids and use them as their livestock....do a little research on it....its pretty wild!
theres certain proteins that we need that we can only find in animal meats, why would there be essential vitamins for humans to live in something we weren't supposed to eat? and if there were people bigger than us and we had essential vitamins for their survival i think i would chop it up to what is supposed to happen, and of course i would try to stop it like any animal running for their life while trying to be eaten.
