RE: Whom Do You Think As “Food” Animals & Whom not?

in #vegan7 years ago

This is one of the hardest question my friend. No one can easily be sure what is good and what is bad in this world. In tundra region, earth freezes for more than eight months. Crops cannot grow there. In this situation the native of these region like Eskimos, Laps etc had no choice but to eat meat. On the other hand we Indian have fertile soil, favorable weather for crops and means of agriculture. Hence, we are naturally vegetarian. Every living animal have a right to live happily. However, nature has made this system that weak, wounded or old animals are killed by hunters which gives chance to strong and more capable animals to survive.
So, I would say it is difficult for us to decide what is good and what is bad.

Sort:  

It's not that difficult to decide if you're willing to.

What percentage of world population live in Tundra region? It's easy to give irrelevant examples when defending our meat eating habits but none of it has any logical explanation for consuming meat when there is enough supply of plant-based food. Today world has enough produce to fulfil the world hunger (if no animal meat is consumed) and we have efficient logistics to transport food to any-which place. Humans, today, can get their pizza in space stations too. In case, if a place can not be served with edible plant based food, humans should evacuate those places imho.

Nature has its own way of selection. Even if hunters don't kill weak or wounded animals, stronger breed will always survive. And if not, why not let the weak survive too?

Resources are limited. That is why nature took this course. This is the design of nature. We can't say that good or bad.

Sorry, Nature didn't took this course, humans have interfered in the ways of the Nature way too much.

And please note that there is no evidence that resources are limited. Resources are ample to fulfil human hunger. In fact, animal farming is a huge burden on resources and could be avoided.

I am not talking about human interfere. Natural selection is a fact in natural world. One animal is the food item for other. However, I agree with you in context of human society. As a human meat consumption is not our obligation.

I agree. Rearing animals for meat consumption is definitely a burden. Vegetarian food items consume less resources from nature while for the same amount of meat, we need 100 times resources in comparison to vegetarian food.
