What would i call myself?!
What would i call myself?
i am sorta vegetarian. i dont eat turkey or chicken for a few reasons.1) workers in factory farms arnt nice to them. 2) they carry things like salmonnilla, bird flu, E.coil, ect. 3) laws aganst animal abuse disinclude birds even though they are the most land animals killed for meat. 4) in factory farms they are denided food and water. 5) they are drugged to make them grow so hudge they cant hold themselves up. 6) they live in there own poop. 7) theres poop in the meat. 8) most of the birds killed never make it to the store and insted sit on the sloughter house floor to rot. anyway i think thats enough reasons. i dont eat fish cuz i dont like it.
but what i do do is i hunt. i think that is the way the lord wanted it to be. i clean my own animals. and hunt only what ill eat. what do u call me?
Answers: i don't really know what it'd be called technically. i think a naturalist is probably the closest term.
you mentioned that you don't eat turkey or chicken; do you still eat eggs? or beef or milk for that matter? because living conditions for cattle aren't any better than that of chickens.
"Cows produce milk for the same reason that humans do: to nourish their babies. Cows are artificially inseminated on what farmers call 'rape racks.' Their calves are traumatically taken from them shortly after birth. Female calves are added to the dairy herd or are slaughtered for the rennet in their stomachs (used to make cheese). When their milk production wanes after about four years, the mother cows are killed and ground up into burgers."
"'Beef cattle' spend most of their lives on overcrowded feedlots. Ranchers have found that they can maximize profits by giving each steer only 14 quare feet of living space--the equivalent of putting 13 half-ton steers in a typical American bedroom! Steers undergo painful procedures like branding, castration, and dehorning without anesthesia. They often die of pneumonia, dehydration, or heat exhaustion from spending long periods without food or water in overcrowded trucks while being transported to feedlots or slaughterhouses."
i'm not putting that in to degrade you at all i commend you in your conscious decisionmaking with regards to your lifestyle. it's good to hear from someone who actually has their facts straight for a change! Source(s):
PETA Vegetarian Starter Kit (an older version; more current information can be found at the peta website - http://www.peta.org) A carnivore. Naturalist, with a sense of ethics call yourself wolfy... that's what I call you. A hunter who doesn't eat chicken or fish. mixed up. you're not a vegetarian if you eat meat. A regular person. An omnivore. You're not a vegetarian if you eat animals, but I respect what you do.
P.S.- Labels are pointless. An omnivore with particular tastes I'd call you awesome for telling me all that stuff about chicken that I didn't know. A natural human omnivore. I'll call you a hunter or a consciences eater you're neither a vegan or vegetarian so not quite sure why you would use that category to ask your question!! You eat organic.
:) Hunter Someone who has some good sense! You really eat everything you kill? I suppose if you feel the need to kill an animal, then I'm glad you don't hunt just for "sport." But you must not eat a lot of meat then...I mean, I assume you don't hunt cows or pigs. So you eat deer? I hope you don't eat bear. I call you a woman.
If you eat ham or bacon, I call you a hypocrite. I'd call you wolfy, because it is what you call yourself. If you wanted a label for how you eat, I would say that would be naturalist. you say animals are treated poorly in factories: true. do you think killing them yourself is any better for the animal? NO. you're not a vegetarian, you're just a person who doesn't like chicken or turkey. I would just call you normal. You just eat what you like as does everyone else. You have your opinions, as does everyone else. A carnivore. I hate (or just don't like at all) most fruits/veggies and really have to force myself to eat it. We always joke and say "I'm a vegetarian, because I fight for the rights of vegetables." I'd call you a naturalist, although I know that may not be entirely the right term. Ted Nugent
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/... If you eat meat, you are not a vegetarian!!!! You are an omnivore. What do I call you? Misled.
1. The workers in the factory farm are usually the farmer and his family. The better the chickens or turkeys do, the more money in their pocket.
2. Yes, they can carry diseases, but so can the ones in the wild. For that matter, *we* carry diseases.
3. If animal cruelty laws applied to *people*, the government would have to shut down most schools.
4. There's always plenty of water in confinement farming. C'mon, water is almost *free*. And there's always *sufficient* feed. The idea is to get the birds to market weight, and starving them would be stupid.
5. You don't want birds so large they cannot support themselves. They don't sell well.
6. They live in wire cages, not in cages with floors. The manure drops right through to a trough, so that it can be removed with a minimum of labor.
7. The commercial processing of poultry is, indeed, a disgrace. You can avoid this problem by buying koshered poultry. To be kosher, the process has to meet sanitary rules that far exceed the government's. They also brine the birds while they are at it, and you get a much better product.
Alternatively, you can buy the birds live, and clean them yourself. Picking the pinfeathers out is not much fun, but the rest isn't bad. And if you are hunting wild poultry, you're cleaning them yourself anyway.
8. Most of the birds killed DO make it to the store, because birds are too expensive to waste. Besides, if the USDA inspector finds such poor sanitation, he will shut down the whole facility until it's corrected.
It sounds like you've been reading PETA propaganda. Are you aware that they kill thousands of dogs annually in the facilities they operate - and that it's a felony? sum1 who understands y there r vegetarians and vegans in the world. u eat like the Native Americans did. And I respect that. But the reason I hav gone vegetarian is becuz as a country, we waste so many animals lives and bodys . we just let them go to waste. also, I don't want the steroids they give to the animals to buff them up. thanks for letting me answer ur question. If you hunt, you either have small b oo bs, or your boyfriend has a small pe nis.
Hunting is for sicko's You arent even close to being a vegetarian. If you eat meat, you are a carnivore, plain and simple. Its good that you dont support the meat industry though. You're not even close to vegetarian. Why are you looking for a term for yourself? You still cause death, suffering, etc. You are an omnivore. an idiot
