Vegetarianism

Nevermind · May 10, 2014

I've recently decided to become a vegetarian. The main reason I've decided to do this is because of the unethical treatment of animals. This video just about did it for me. I knew this was going on, but didn't do anything about it. So, I decided to become a vegetarian.

So what you're saying is that your tacos are more important than the lives and suffering of the helpless animals that are tortured daily? I don't know how you could possibly justify that.

My Giving up Meat Would be 1/7,000,000,000 That's not enough to Even Effect the Market. While what they're doing is wrong, Me giving Up meat isn't Going to do Anything to them, They'll still be Doing Exactly The same thing Tommorrow, and so after. So please don't Get all judgemental on me. Thank you, sir.

If you're going to boycott meat, you should boycott plants too, thus boycotting eating almost entirely. Plants endure this unethical treatment as well, y'know. Plants feel pain too and are quite often eaten while still alive. Essentially everything we eat was once alive and was industrialized. We simply should process them in an ethical manner. Boycott the manufacturers and corporations who dictate this unethical treatment, don't boycott meat. Boycotting meat isn't going to do anything.

If you're going to give up meat, give it up for dieting reasons, not this.

If we all don't support it, we can change it. Each and every person matters, because if we all have that mentality, no one will give it up.

Don't even think about changing it. Think about saving the lives of these helpless animals. I'm going to be judgmental because your logic is flawed. There is no good reason to eat meat besides 'I want to'.

I didn't watch the video cause I know what this is about. Read this quote by Thucydides, “We believe that Heaven, and we know that men, by a natural law always rule where they are stronger. We did not make that law, nor were we the first to act on it; we found it existing, and it will exist forever, after we are gone; and we know that you and anyone else as strong as we are would do as we do."
Yes I know this is different for animals, but the philosophy is true. People who are stronger will make it known. And it is the right thing to do this. Does this mean to mistreat animals? No not at all, but the reason it happens anyway because humans are more powerful and we have no care for those below us. Not many species are intrinsically altruistic anymore.

This is completely true lol. Leader if you are so against killing stuff then go boycott almost anyone who mows a lawn, anyone who picks plants, anyone who genocides ants, anyone who kills anything. I think your thinking is unjust.

I'm against the unethical treatment of animals, ones that actually feel pain. Plants, on the other hand, are not sentient. They may respond to stimuli, but do not feel pain like other animals. They lack a nervous system and a brain.

Plants may respond to stimuli, but that doesn't mean they feel pain. They lack a brain, nervous system, and sentience. It's completely false to state that killing a plant is equatable to killing an animal.

Why don't you just go with eating animals that aren't slaughtered and grinded like Salmon at a restaurant. Are you pescatarian?

I don't eat fish now, nor would I when I start my new diet.

Salmon, Trout, and other fish are great parts of diets. I think you should reconsider bro.

I seriously think being vegan is beyond stupid.

Not intended at you, just overall being vegan.

Watch the segment at the end of the video I posted.

Vegans don't eat anything that comes from animals. I hope to eventually become a vegan, but I'm going to start out as a vegetarian first.

By that logic you are against the deaths of all animals. So animals can't kill other animals now? that's ridiculous.

Wow, if you weren't being sarcastic, then I actually agree with you on this one for once. :3

I don't care for those videos because they are always 100% extremely biased. I refuse to ever watch videos of that nature.

Where did I say that? I'm against the unethical treatment of them, as in the systematic killing, torture, confinement and otherwise unnecessary pain and anguish that these animals face.

I'm glad to see you just assume that a video is biased before even watching it. Great work.

I am still going to eat meat, but now I feel bad for the animals. I mean their throats are slit opened alive.

Anyways, @leader would you be a vegetarian if they were killed a less painful way?

I see being a vegan and being a vegetarian as the same thing, basically both don't see animal products, I do realize that there are some differences, but in terms of eating animal product, they are somewhat the same.
