Can slaughter ever be called truly 'humane'?!
Which is why I am vegetarian.
Love, scottie :-)
Answers: No matter *how* the animal is killed, it will still *suffer*.

No, it can't. The absolutley horrible undescribable cruelty in the meat industry of today is completely murder. Slaughter= murder.
It makes me cry just knowing so many beautiful souls die every day for the sake of something we dont even need to survive!
You and I are living proof that you dont need meat to survive and possibley were not even meant to eat it. Even if we were, we live in a world today were you can have a healthy diet without dead rotting diseased carcuss.
Who are we to take away the life of something so pure and beautiful? We dont own life, the only one who ownes life is the being that has it and God. They are the only ones who decide whether to die or not and im sure that an animal wouldnt choose to die a horrid death! (Nor would God want him/her to! ) And to cut that life short in a gruelling and absolutely evil process is murder. I just Pray all the poor innocent beautiful souls are happy in Heaven. <3
And thats why i am vegetarian also.
P.S Thankyou for being vegetarian Scottie, you know that everything has a heart and soul and hopes and dreams just like us and deserves a life of love. And you and anyone else like you make this world a better place.<3 stay strong, peace and love.
now after my rant im off to listen to Pink Floyds Animals or Cat Stevens Peace Train or both :) <3
All mankind design to be vegetarian.
But the condition of living have turned them into meat eater.
We cant blame the eskimos just because they eat meat or fish, how to find vege there in artic.
But we here have choices, we can be vege. we cant easily get vege.
Not in my POV.
if you are beating or abusing the animal for a "benefit" like softer meat or just plain mean, that you cant consider it humane... I cant be biased either as there are ways to kill in a way of instant death where the animal cant feel anything, and this has been proven too. I guess I consider that more humane then the latter.
We all suffer. If you are going to eat, something has to die. I don't care if it's the vegetable.
What if you beat an egg up before you eat it?
It could be a chicken 1 day but as a fetus its OK?
Be a vegetarian I dont mind but;
..................................... if I choose to kill a fish I just caught instead of starving to death I will,
.................but your saying its more 'humane' to die if i'm stuck on a beach with nothing to eat ?
At least we kill humanely in controlled enviroments.
nothing in this world is humane...lions killing zebras are not humane....anything that eats another animal is not humane...the world itself is not humane....so i dont see the difference in eating meat...al we can do is try to be as humane as humanly possible
It depends on who is defining humane. I can sleep easy on my diet choices.
If we never learned how to hunt, we would of never gained half the intelligence we have. If humans stayed vegans, we'd still be swinging in trees. We hunted animals for clothing, made fire for cooking, and swam for fishing. All the reasons we are at the top of the food chain today, is because of all the things vegans hate. Perhaps you should stop drinking all that soy milk. The estrogen is really destroying your male nature.
Summer,
"Male nature"? Educate me on that, please. You sound like you prefer men to be insensitive cavemen. Well, if that's the kind of guy you like, so be it, but then don't join the ranks of certain women who complain that men aren't nice enough. Damned if we do, damned if we don't.
My personal belief is that slaughter for food is not necessary or humane (although I understand others feel differently and they have a right to feel that way - as long as they respect my beliefs in return). However in answer to your question I do feel there are some occasions where living will cause more suffering than being killed and so I would have to say that yes sometimes the slaughter of an animal can be humane – cows with full blown BSE for example, a sheep that has been mauled by a dog, a rabbit with myxomatosis or a cat badly hit by a car, that sort of thing, if absolutely nothing else could be done to relieve their suffering then I would consider ending their life to be a humane act.
