Is it ethical to eat meat when it is not necessary for surivival?!

I agree with you. I'm also vegetarian (I eat eggs and dairy produtcs, but no meat of any kind). I have all the protein I need, I became healthier, allergies disappeared and I discoverd a whole new variety of dishes. Killing an animal to eat is completely unnecessary (except for those particular cases you mentioned, obviously).

I personally don't agree with eating meat unless it is for survival, but I also don't think I have the right to tell people what they should and shouldn't find ethical within themselves.

I won't eat meat unless it becomes a survival situation because the idea makes me fill sick and morally I don't feel right about doing it. But that is me and my choices, it may not be the same for everyone else.

A lot of things we do are not necessary for survival.

Like, as a completely random example, using computers.

"It is your choice."

Damn ******* straight it is my choice!

Hmm according to Deer Hunters logic he is a nihilist, aparently we should throw out all forms of unspoken bonds and resort to murdering/rape/cannibalism because such things are natural practices as seen in nature also & ethics don't cross the boundaries of nature

humans are mammels that are born with meat Cutting teeth for a reason. We get important vitamins from eating meat. we have been eating meat for a very long time. Nothing unethical about that.

No, it is not ethical. Nobody needs meat in this day and age.
Even eskimos now live in modern towns with grocery stores.

I LOVE MEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE FIGHTING A LOSING BATTLE, PEOPLE LIKE MEAT!!!!!!!!!!

No. People argue that meat tastes good so they have the right to eat it despite the suffering other animals endure to provide a tasty meal. All minerals in meat can be obtained through other sources, after all, when you're eating meat all you're eating is what that animal ate at a severely depreciated ratio, and that is usually plants.

For me, when my appetite makes my moral decisions for me, I know something is wrong. That is gluttony.

Also, someone said something about us having "meat cutting teeth"... They obviously haven't studied animal or human anatomy or they would know our canines and incisors are more similar to that of a gorilla than a lion. Its not that hard of a concept to grasp in my opinion. Even before I became a vegetarian I knew I didn't have carnivore teeth.

And hey RON! Guess what? Jeffrey Dahmer was an omnivore. Every single serial killer and child molestor on this planet is most likely an omnivore, does that mean you're evil? Moron. Plus, Hitler wasn't a vegetarian, he didn't eat certain meats as he had problems with gas but he loved pork.
Another idiot parroting the same garbage as the rest.

Another sanctimonious vegetarian.

Before you get a nose bleed from climbing to high up on your morality pedestal, I got news for you. One the the bloodiest murderer in human history was a vegetarian - Adolf Hitler. And like you, he believed he knew what was best for everyone else and all that was needed to make a perfect world was motivation and education - his brand of motivation at the point of a gun and his education from the ministry of propaganda.

Is it ethical to force your view of morality on others when you are apparently so ignorant of the world and life that you think people in other countries have a choice of what kinds of foods are available to them?
Got news for you, there are people in the world who are thankful for ANY kind of food they can get.

You also need to get an education because you obviously don't know anything about economics. What do you think is used to grow your vegetables? It takes fuel to to plow, seed, and harvest. It also takes hydro-carbons from petroleum to fertilize millions of acres of land to grow your vegetables. It takes double the amount of land in production because you have to rotate crops to prevent the soil from being sucked dry of all the nutrients needed to grow any crop. Or did you think soil just magically replenish itself?

You think you are healthy because you "almost never" get sick. Is that like "definitely maybe", "possibly for sure", "always sometimes"? Vegetarians are just as prone to cancer as non-vegetarians. And not having allergies simply means your body doesn't react to foreign substances whether they are harmful or not.

First, examine your motive. Are you a vegetarian because of sound scientific reasons or because it makes you feel superior?

For me yes it is ethical.

Isolated? lol You need to get out more. There are literally millions of people on this planet that don't really have a choice of what to eat. They have to eat whatever they can find to survive. They don't have money and fully stocked grocery stores.

Ethical? lol Every single life from on this planet exists at the expense of another life form. If you took this out of the equation all life would die. In order for something to live, something has to die. Its how the world works whether you like it or not. This is why I think vegans are silly, they deny what they are and how the world works.

Is it ethical for vegans to kill animals with their diet? Billions of insects die every year from pesticides, and countless other animals like moles, mice, birds, snakes, turtles, and many more die from planting harvesting, and shipping the very food vegans eat. A death for a diet is a death for a diet. But I guess in your eyes its ok to kill for your diet but its not for mine.

Economically its better for me to be an omnivore since most of my food I hunt and kill myself or I get from my garden. And I'm healthy as a horse.

The socialist vegetarian, The question was about eating meat not (murdering/rape/cannibalism) Those are different subjects than someones everyday diet and so my opinions on those differ as well. I see you like to assume things.

Personally I think no.
The whole point of being human is to be intelligent above other animals and that means practicing out intellenct and compassion.
How can you clain to be the higher form of life if you act like a thug and do things you know hurt and kill other beings.

Animals don't do this. They act of instinct to survive.
We know different, We know compassion and living NOT out of necessity, and to live healthily without spreading the disease of violence and aggression is a purely human gift.

People who do no promote this, are thugs and unethical fas as I'm concerned.
