When people say they love animals...?!
Do you think they just mean dogs and cats!? Anyone who says they love animals must mean all of them right!? To say you love animals but then eat them anyway seems very unorthodox!. What do you think!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

The phrase "I love animals" usually refers to the love of animals in a collective sense, but it does not mean a person necessarily feels a special loving bond with every living thing on earth!. I believe the Native Americans had the best ideals when it came to their love for animals!. They believed all living things had spirits and were worthy of respect in their own right, but they also belived that living things had to do what was necessary to survive, incluiding themselves!. Therefore, they showed respect for animals like the buffalo, by making sure every last remnant of the animal was used for something after it was hunted and killed, so that its death would never be in vain!. They respected it and celebrated its life for the fact that it was sacrificed to allow their survival!. All living things deserve to be treated with respect and dignity, but all living things have to do what is necessary to live, which sometimes comes at the expense of living things that do not serve as a high a purpose in life, and I do not believe human beings to be exempt from that rule in any way!. I know some people say the difference is that people have options animals do not, and as such, eating meat is purely choice and not necessity, but that is not always true!. There are and have been people throughout our years on this earth, who've lived in areas where vegetation has not always been plentiful and have had no choice but to hunt animals for food lest they starve to death!. If it is a person's choice to not eat animals or in any way contribute to their death, that's perfectly fine, but it seems overly judgmental and unrealistic to assume that just because a person doesn't see and treat every animal on earth as they would their dog or cat, must mean they don't care about animals at all!. People can very much love animals and still feel they are here to serve a purpose!. I don't find that unusual at all, but quite reasonable!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
When people say they love animals and they eat them, what they are really saying is that they love using them!. They "love" using dogs for company and other animals for food!. This is not exactly love; if you love something, you accept that it has inherent value!. By killing animals unnecessarily, people are denying that they have inherent value!.
"He said something along the lines of, If you love humans and a homeless person was walking the streets on a cold dark night would you let them into your house with your family!? Of course not!. "
A better analogy would be killing the homeless person so that you could steal some change to buy a hamburger!.
"when someone kills for pleasure, that's when it wrong"
If killing animals for food is not necessary, how is it not killing for pleasure!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Personally I am opposed to keeping pet animals in a house!.!.!.except maybe a goldfish!.!.!.they need to be outside in the wild!. I don't love pet animals in the same way that I love another person!. Animals have souls that are not made for Eternal life; people like you and me do!. We do not have a commandment to love animals, in fact to do so would be idolatry, but we do have a commandment to love the good God who created the world and all that is in it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

That xfst guy had a great example when someone asked this question lastnight!.
He said something along the lines of, If you love humans and a homeless person was walking the streets on a cold dark night would you let them into your house with your family!? Of course not!.
Stop making things so black and white, it only makes you look ignorant!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It seems hypocritical!. I love all animals, so I will not subject them to death for my happiness!. But people who say they love animals and eat them and ride horses, maybe hit their dogs when they are bad, well that's just stupid!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I agree with you!. Either cows and pigs are too "ugly" to love and chickens too "stupid", or they don't let themselves think about the killing so it doesn't ruin their appetite!. People who do this are hypocrites!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
