My God it kills me that people are so freaking dumb they cannot see that animals have feelings!. I do believe they will pay for that in the end!. Wouldn't it be funny if they came back as a cow in a factory farm in their next life!? Oh I bet they would be thankfull for people like us wouldn't they!?
I don't know if there is a way to prove it, maybe show videos or pics of cows that appear happy, sad, depressed!. It is real, I can see it, many of us can see it!. Good luck with your bf, he really needs to accept that you don't eat meat!. I don't understand why people are so against us, us not eating meat does not affect them in any way!.
Just because animals cannot speak does NOT mean they cannot feel, they are not programmed machines!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

When cows are being slaughtered, it's reported that you can actually see the fear in their eyes!.
But you know, determining whether or not they have actual human-like emotions isn't even necessary to feel that killing animals for food is wrong!. They obviously suffer; they have a central nervous system and feel pain!. Humans don't need to breed, cage, slaughter, and eat these animals, so it's obvious that eating meat causes UNECESSARY suffering!. That's enough to decide to be vegetarian in my book, without getting into the "emotion" issue at all!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm not sure what you mean by "feelings", so I'll answer on the notion of "feeling"!. Cows have brains and therefore can "feel" pain!.
If you mean "feelings" like happiness or sadness etc!.!.!.!.cows do feel happiness, sadness, fear etc!.!.!.!.!.but not in the same way as humans!. They are more "instinctual" and can be observed by the animals condition/well being!. Comfort and fear, and, fight or flight, are more common "feelings" for animals of lower brain capacity!.!.!.!.!.like the V & V trolls :-)
Your boyfriend obviously hasn't looked into the matter at all and is just spouting unsubstantiated opinion!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

My gut is yes, but proving it to a non-beleiver is hard!. Are you refering to feelings as emotions or sensations!? Judging feelings is hard - even when it comes to people!. Cows instinctively "care" for their young, they make a horrible sound when they're being prodded or off to be slaughtered, they are social!. Do they feel if they are prodded and poked and prepared for butchering without even being killed first!? You betcha!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Well, they cry when their babies are taken from them, and mama cows have even been known to break out of their enclosures and walk miles to try and find their calves!. Your boyfriend is an idiot; hasn't he ever had a pet!? Anyone who's spent time around a dog knows they have feelings!. Why would a cow be any different!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
First and foremost, they feel pain!. That alone is valid reason not to slaughter them for food!. But they also feel fear and other emotions!. The best site I can recommend is by Temple Grandin!. Dr!. Grandin is a designer of livestock handling facilities and a Professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University!. (I'd give you more precise info but I'm about to go to bed right now)!.

First of all, you shouldn't have to validate your diet to your boyfriend!. If he can't accept it, then maybe he's not such a great boyfriend!. Second, does it matter if cows have "feelings"!? They can feel pain, and that seems like it should be enough!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
ALL ANIMALS have feelings!. Just because we can express our feelings more, doesn't mean that animals don't have them!.
I can't believe you have to PROVE to your boyfriend something so obvious!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

whether they do or don't have feelings doesn't mean that a juicy steak is not delicious!. if they don't want to be eaten they should have adapted opposable thumbs and ruled the earth!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
