Just out of curiosity...?
How many animals are killed under the blades of wheat threshers and combines everyday?
Every year millions of animals are killed by wheat and soy bean combines during harvesting season. Are vegans going against their diet by eating wheat and soybean products?

Or do they plant all their own crops?

Roeman, if all you're going to say is "who cares" at least be witty like the first guy.

So what you're saying is that it's wrong to kill the cows that you feed the grain to, but it's not wrong to kill the animals that die so you can have your soyburger, just because more goes to those cows?
At least non-vegans/vegetarians eat the cows they kill, instead of just leaving them to rot.

Al I... where did you study agriculture?
My mother is 72 years old, and she got a kick out of your answer. Even when she was a kid they weren't harvesting soybeans by hand. I live in a very heavy soybean producing area, and I've never seen anyone out there harvesting it by hand.

Buttercup... you don't have to answer my questions if you don't want to. Furthermore, I think I once again struck a nerve... or you angry because I'm calling you out on your hypocrisy? And what the heck does this have to do with child abusers?

Furthermore, I never said I was perfect.
I don't have to, after all. It's pretty much well-known fact!

I don't have to, after all. It's pretty much well-known fact! None of them had a good answer when I asked that a while back. In the spring, there are turkey, pheasant, duck, goose, and other nests that are destroyed; not to mention the # of fawns wrapped up in farm machinery.
They'll tell you it's not the same. By their very existence they exploit animals. The hypocrisy is just hilarious. Alot less animals than wheat and soy beans. To be honest who cares, surtenly not the animals, thems dead. There is an average of 6-8 insect legs in every chocolate bar...think about that the next time you chaw into that Snickers bar or let that peice of Hershey's melt on your tongue! lol (True fact!) who cares?????? I am not sure if that information is written any where but many not as many as you think. No! soy milk,soybean meat, wheatgerm, Muffins and other food that is eatten by anyone is made with wheat and soybeans. Lets face it, no matter how humanitarian people try to be, no one will ever be perfect in PETA's eyes. Even as a PETA supporter, its enough to drive me nuts!! This is a funny thought that I never pondered before so thanks for asking! Since more than half of the US land for growing foods is used to grow animal feed more would be killed due to the livestock industry. Considerably more than half of soybeans are used for animal feed.
These stats are just for US grown soy, 44% is used for animals feed, not including the 35% that is exported.

Greenpeace cites that 80% of the worlds soybean production is for livestock.
Also notice that the author is in the agricultural/animal field, you would expect him to have that kind of bias.

The link you posted is brought up a lot, just someone's opinion. Hardly "bestpageintheuniverse."
If you eat any typical foods this is how they are gotten. Are you saying you eat nothing bought in a store or restaurant?
The difference is that all those animals are free to do what they want, if they are in the wrong place at the wrong time then they might get hurt. That is how life is. It's no different that human animals. People get killed from cars, trains, falling down, farm equipment, electrocution, industrial equipment, war, etc... So if anything can cause any harm, then everything must be stopped? Check out http://ar.vegnews.org/harvesting_crops.h... for a detailed response to your question. Personally I don't really care,just as long as I know that sooner or later their will be a well done animal carcass on my plate with a side of baked potato,corn, and a hot roll. What kind of a question is this. Most soybeans are harvested by hand so there is no threat there and I would rather have harvested grain that is harvested by a machine that makes loud noise to alert animals to flea and that use ultra sonic soudwaves to deter birds and mammals than to intentionally kill an animal out of the sake of greed. No one needs to die in order for us to be fed. Meat-eaters consume meat as a luxury and not as a necessity. You should learn to be more humble and respect the boundries of nature and fellow humans. So, you are saying that you are perfect and not hypocritical in any way shape or form? Wow, I'm honoured to "meat" you.
Or, are you saying that you either have to be 100% perfect or you mind as well be 100% bad?
How sad.
Hey, aren't there some obese omnivores or child abusers that are more worthy of your stunning intellect and knack for "catching" people in their awfullness? Seems like an awfully cowardly priority - to come onto a non-discussion forum and tell half-truths and spew underthought immature out arguments to try to TROLL for a fight. Mommy not paying enough attention to you? Your reference didn't really have any hard numbers. And who eats alfalfa, anyway? At least animals who might be killed by tilling equipment have a chance to live. Animals born into the meat industry have NO chance. God forbid they're born into the dairy industry. I don't know how you can compare the abuse and horrendous conditions with which animals in the meat and dairy industries "live" the same as a mouse getting offed by tilling equipment because it didn't run quick enough. I dare you to watch parts one and two of the movie Earthlings (available on YouTube) and then try this lame comparison.
Hahah you used Maddox as a reference. Too funny. Yeah, that's not reaching at all.
When you or someone you love is dying of cancer I hope you know that it probably could have been avoided by not eating animal products. Will you be such a smartass then?
http://thechinastudy.com Hey Jenasaurus, Linda McCartney and Doug Henning. Both die hard veggies. Both dead from cancer at early ages. My heart goes out to them and their loved ones. But don't think you're going to live to be 1,000 because of your diet. If you want to go veggie go ahead. But base your conclusions on facts, not preconceived notions. Adjust your theories according to facts. Don't twist the facts to suit your theories. I love this question. Shameless plug!!!!!!
http://www.adultgamesonline.com/mylonj73... Big R., both celebrities ate dairy, which isn't true vegetarianism, you cretin. Dairy is one of the worst things for humans to consume, in ways of cancer prevention.
