Question:

Are animals put on this earth for us to eat???


Answers:
If you do eat animals, you should at least make sure it wasn't raised inhumanely and made to suffer in order to save money. Also, if you choose to eat them, eat sparingly. Meat isn't healthy in quantitly, veggies and fruits will keep you healthy.

If we are in need of food, yes. In my religion, shooting animals for no real purpose is a sin.

HELL YEA!

Of course....

This always been like that.

The bigger eat the smaller.

Like in real life business...... ;)

Well, it depends on how you take it. Animals eat other animals. It's the circle of life. There's consumers, producers, and decomposers. They all play a role in life. We humans are considered consumers.

I don't think so. But I don't belive in killing animals just for fun. I belive you only kill what you can eat.

Nothing was "put" on this Earth for another to eat.

Evolution also created the "food chain" which had natural predators who were there to maintain balance by eating the creatures that could overpopulate the Earth and create an imbalance.

Man is today's Predator.

Perhaps not for the sole purpose - but they are part of the food chain - just as we part of it too after death.

And before the religious folks get all tetchy with us, please remember that is was not "loaves and pot noodles" that were apparently used to feed the 5,000 :)

No animal (including humans) was "put" here for any reason. We all evolved from earlier, simpler life forms, and we're all related. Many large mammals, especially those with large brains, got that way because they ate other animals -- that ready supply of protein was necessary to support a large brain, which needs a lot of energy. Our bodies are very well adapted to eating meat from other animals, and that meat in fact provides proteins and nutrients that are hard to get from just vegetable sources. There are vegetable alternatives, but none of them contain the concentrated protein that flesh does -- so animal flesh is a very efficient food source.

You can decide to eat animal flesh or not -- that's up to you. If you decide not to, be sure to get LOTS of high-protein vegetables like legumes, soy, etc. to make up for what you're missing and to stay healthy. But there's no "put here for us" anything argument to go by, we're all animals. :)

Yes. Panda steak is my favorite.

this man is a preditor and i think that if it wasnt for man there would be no animals they would have all died off by now we make sure that they are not sick we feed them we make there habbitat able to sustain them so yes they are put here for us to harvest them as we see fit they could never make it without us

no animals are pput on this earth to love and take care of not to chop there heads off and cook there intestance thats the same as asking a cannable are humans put on this earth to eat

Absolutely not.

The simple way to tell is by tooth structure.

Creatures that have sharp and pointed teeth are meat eaters.
Those that have flat teeth such as cow, elephant, panda, gorilla, monkey, sheep, bison, goat, giraffe, hippo, deer, humans, etc., were not meant to eat meat.

No. It would be like saying humans were put here for viruses to kill us and earthworms to eat our remains.

Sorry, I guess that was kind of gross...

It's hard to say precisely why animals were put here, since we don't even know for sure why we are here. Maybe we are here for them to eat and we've got it all backward. After all, some of them have the correct type of teeth for eating meat, while we were given the omnivorous type. My vote is no. Be a veggie. Vegetarians fart better after all. (You know it's true!)

some animals was put on earth for us to eat

no
Maybe a million years ago, when we could not survive-yes. But now we just do not need to kill for quench our hunger.
