Frances replied to Lauren Dirgo's discussion Is Eating Meat Bad?: A Reaction"I completely agree with you. I mean, on top of all the health and environmental reasons for not eating animals, I just don't see the point in causing that amount of suffering when it's totally unnecessary. I've been vegan…"

I killed some rabits before and they screamed. I felt bad. I thought what if aliens { nutty person that believes they are real} came…"
John Doe replied to Lauren Dirgo's discussion Is Eating Meat Bad?: A Reaction"Am I bad for not caring at all about how much a cow suffers until it's put down ? To me, life has no value in itself. Killing a living being means nothing to me. The only reason why I believe murder should not be tolerated among humans, is…"
Lauren Dirgo replied to Lauren Dirgo's discussion Is Eating Meat Bad?: A Reaction"Hey, I think this is interesting, in that it shows that everyones bodies are different. While one person might be able to process iron from spinach, another might only be able to process it from meat. Diet isn't a one-size fits all thing and we…"
Wayne Dirac replied to Lauren Dirgo's discussion Is Eating Meat Bad?: A Reaction"Good luck proving cows have empathy. When I was 10 a cow tried to kill my older brother while we were walking through a field. The bull came charging right after him, and if our dog hadn't jumped in between them to attack the bull then my…"
Ash Phillips replied to Lauren Dirgo's discussion Is Eating Meat Bad?: A Reaction"So a cow's pain doesn't count? Despite the fact it probably feel as much pain as you when it's hurt, and certainly feels emotions like loss, and joy, and they feel accomplishment when they solve problems. Would it be right to…"
Wayne Dirac replied to Lauren Dirgo's discussion Is Eating Meat Bad?: A Reaction"Yeah, I fail to see things from the perspective of the victim, but I don't think there is any need to see things from the perspective of cows. The cow's atoms will become my atoms, and I will use them to do more interesting things than sit…"
Ash Phillips replied to Lauren Dirgo's discussion Is Eating Meat Bad?: A Reaction"My stance on pets is probably not as extreme as others. It depends on the treatment and the mindset of the owner. Owning a pet is a massive responsibility (I don't have any myself, despite my views on animals, I wouldn't class…"
Ash Phillips replied to Lauren Dirgo's discussion Is Eating Meat Bad?: A Reaction"Lauren, I want to start by thanking you for being the kind of person I don't mind discussing animal rights with, you're not trying to ridicule my beliefs, or justify your diet because you feel threatened by mine. And you've done your…"
Meg Leach replied to Lauren Dirgo's discussion Is Eating Meat Bad?: A Reaction"I think your stance as an animal liberationist might be more of a minority view than vegetarianism. I'm honestly curious because I've not really gotten a chance to talk to many die-hard liberationists (most stop at vegetarianism) to…"
Lauren Dirgo replied to Lauren Dirgo's discussion Is Eating Meat Bad?: A Reaction"Ash - I find your argument interesting and can definitely see where you're coming from. But I can't say that I totally agree.
Singer's argument is that we should take all suffering into consideration when making…"
Meg Leach replied to Lauren Dirgo's discussion Is Eating Meat Bad?: A Reaction"I brought up this idea to another poster, instead of bringing the consumption of meat down, change the form. Processed meat makes up a huge part of the market, and processed meat is where the demand comes from (and if we want to bring this up,…"
Meg Leach replied to Lauren Dirgo's discussion Is Eating Meat Bad?: A Reaction"The only problem I have with this is that the soy market has exploded in recent years, causing problems with the soy plant in itself. Soy (a main constituent of artificial meats) is currently so over-genetically engineered that scientists are…"
Ash Phillips replied to Lauren Dirgo's discussion Is Eating Meat Bad?: A Reaction"And that applies across the board does it? It's tasty, so I eat it? Unfortunately for you, there are a few problems there:
If children were tasty, would that rationalise eating them? what about your household pets?
Getting jumped up on…"
Wayne Dirac replied to Lauren Dirgo's discussion Is Eating Meat Bad?: A Reaction"I can rationalize meat-eating: Cows are tasty, so I eat them. That is pretty good rationalization. Behavior need not be governed by logic in every single instance."
