Stephanea - Thanks for trying to explain you're point to me politely. I see what you are trying to say, I don't agree that death is good by any means but I will respect that oppinion since you seem determined to stick to it.
Hydrohoki - Although I understand it is possible to eat meat and love animals, since I have been a meat eater until I was fourteen (I think), although I was trying to persuade my mum to let me before hand
. I just knew though that until I became a vegetarian I couldn't actually say I loved all animals, because personally I felt a hypocrite saying it. It's the same with my friends though who own hamsters and rabbits and then go on to use Herbal Essences or something. I don't know, I don't get it all really but I know I am happier with the whole being a lover of animals when I know I don't consume any. Of course I'm not attacking the fact you eat meat especially if you have a medical condition.
I know someone on here said that if people can't kill their own meat they shouldnt eat it. I really agree. It annoyed me when I first became veggie with my mum and I can admit I did want to push my views on her abit too much and she would say "If I had to kill it, I wouldnt eat meat" that did just make me more annoyed because to me its more ignorent. I don't really see meat as nature though. Fair enough we have "canine teeth" (is that what they are called?) but I personally couldnt hunt and eat a deer with my own bare hands. Humans need weapons and knives to eat their meat - I've never seen a wild animal who truely needs meat use these, they were born and developed the teeth, the claws the speed etc We did not. We have big flat molars at the back to chew vegetation and the so called canine teeth look more like those of our vegetarian cousins the gorrila - who use them to tear at touch fruit skins etc. To me I truely believe humans are natually meant for a vegetarian diet, but of course the ancestors had to go to meat.
I will stop rambling now!
