Vegans - If animal food sources were treated with utmost respect, would you consider them as food?!


Question: Vegans - If animal food sources were treated with utmost respect, would you consider them as food!?
because I know a lot of vegans are vegan because of animal cruelty which I know is shocking and would drive anyone to veganism, but just hypothetically, if animials were treated better, would that change your view!? or is it just killing them that is bad enough!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
im vegan and it is an interesting question!. Ive read some philosophy to do with animals and thought about it alot, im it seems that the will to continue living is a human trait not an animal one!. Of course in the moment animals will do wat they need to survive but apparently they dont think in the way of, i hope im alive in months time etc!. So im not sure how i feel about when people used to go hunting for food, rather than domesticating it!. If the animal had a normal life then part of me feels that death is a normal part of it!.

Another part of me would be completely against it - which is why i wont kill flies or spiders etc and believes that all life has "value" (not in a religious way)!. We are all in this together, we live on the same planet we are connected, and i dont know that i could do something as destructive as taking a life!.

In other words i have no idea!

also im against aspects of farming even if done humanly, we shouldnt be in control, we shouldnt keep animals in any kind of enclosures, its like puting someone in jail and assuming there happy coz they got there needs taken care of, they dont have to find there own food etc!.
Its good to be free, for all living things

i don't think their is any such thing as humanely killing, its pretty much contradicting itself, you can't kill something unjustly but kill it nicely and then call it humane, so yes in my opinion killing is bad enough!.

yamster: your only gonna get thumbs down because your info is wrong, your gonna tell people who have done both a omnivore and vegetarian diet and tell you they feel, look, etc, and even go to the doctor and tell them they are perfectly healthy, and then you want to say that its unhealthy, maybe YOU need to get your facts straight!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i would eat eggs from chickens treated nicely!.
like if i had my own hens then i would!.
but there really isn't a need!.

i still would not drink milk since the cow has to constantly be pregnant for them to continue to produce milk!. also it makes them sore to be milked (like a mother breastfeeding 24/7)!. plus i think its gross


***o wait you are talking about them as food!.!. no i would not eat them regardless!. yea killing isn't nice at all!.!. they still had to die for me to eat them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It would not change my view!. The idea of treating an animal kindly and then killing it and consuming its flesh is not appealing to me at all!. It is very cruel and unacceptable!. I think any and all killing of sentient beings is horrible!.

Interesting question and some interesting answers here too!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Factory-farming and animal abuse in general break my heart, but that's not why I don't eat animals!. I cannot get over the fact they they are living, breathing beings!. They have hearts!. They may look different, and for the most part are not nearly as intellectually advanced as humans!. But in the end, they're not all that different!. And that downright disgusts me!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It doesn't matter how kindly they're treated in life, there's no way to humanely kill anyone!. And it would be impossible to treat the 10 billion animals raised for food in the U!.S!. every year with any kindness, as there are just too many to make it sustainable!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No!. Regardless of treatment, animal products impair digestion, which is detrimental to circulation, which has a negative impact upon every system in the body!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

some people would complain even if they were hung with a gold rope studded by diamonds!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

the killing of them for my benefit is bad enoughWww@FoodAQ@Com

NO!. I just hate the idea of eating animals- it has less to do with how they are treated!. I just don't want to kill them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Of course not!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

killing is bad enough!.!. thats why we don't eat animals!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
