nowadays plants are needed to kept alive more than animals..coz of atmosphere etc..so animals can breed n have many more plants it takes time...

first of all, i think you are referring to unrelated issues by bringing up shooting a person on life support.let me repeat again that you dont just eat meat as a non vegetarian and you eat plants too.so you might kill just the one turkey, but also kill all those other plants. so yes the number of lives lost isnt the same,ones kills fewer living beings by being vegetarian! and in the end, im vegetarian because i feel that animals are more highly evolved than animals and therefore feel greater PERCEIVEABLE pain than plants. and i think its a bit cynical to say that you dont make a difference to the number of lives lost. every drop makes the ocean and in a similar way every individual can make a difference. for example, lets say all your meat consumption equated to just one chicken per week (and thats a very conservative number)...in a year you would then eat 52 chickens and in 10 years you eat 520 chickens. thats the same number of animals you wont create a demand for in 10 years..and with 9 other people being vegetarians, that nubmer goes up to 5200..and this is a very conservative number. anyway,thanks for the response.

what gives us the right to raise animals in order to kill them for food?i dont think self declared supremacy over other species cuts it. I'm sure plants suffer too as you say, but by restricting the diet to plants alone, you make a choice to kill fewer animals which are less evolved- they dont have a brain to start with.besides, i eat plants to survive, if i could do without them i would. if you refer to killing insects like in the instance of stepping on an ant accidentally, that is unintentional. besides, the motive killing insects intentionally is generally initiated when the insect poses a threat in terms of infection spread for example..or if its a pest.that is different to an unprovoked killing of an animal to satisfy ones hunger. but you are entitled to your opinion of course and thanks for the reply.

Well most of the plants you've eaten are grown in farms. So I would like to repeat your question. What gives us the right to grow a living thing in order to kill it for food. Killing is killing whether less evolved or more evolved so you can't really say we are cruel to animals. Humans need food for survival and unfortunately killing living things is the only way. Some kill animals while others kill plants. Therefore non vegetarians are cruel to animals in the same way vegetarians are cruel to plants. Yes and we both eat for survival.

plants are less highly evolved and therefore a better option to kill compared to animals.u need a nervous system to feel pain and thts somethng animals have and plants dont. i do not recall saying that non vegetarians are being cruel- its a choice left to each person as to what they want to do. i for one, dont condone the killing of animals especially when i can avoid it and can still live perfectly well. more over, a non-vegetarian is not only killing animals, but animals AND plants.so why not minimize the killing spree and stick to one or the other?the truth is that an entirely plant free diet is unsustainable while an entirely meat free diet is sustainable..

haha

Personally I find it hard to believe that man went to all that trouble to hundt down and kill an animal for food when he could simple pluck a fruit from a tree.But i guess the arguement about using animals for food before man is one that will not be settled any time soon. Even if one believes that animals were eaten before plants, it doesnt justify us doing the same thing today. Just because the generations did somethng in a certain way doesnt mean that we do the same today-otherwise we would live in a stagnant world that doesnt progress! Also, milk is not non-vegetarian and is certainly part of a vegetarian (not vegan) diet. so the occurence of osteoporosis (a condition where decreased bone desity cause brittle bones that are increasingly susceptible to fractures) because of a vegetarian diet is quesionable..when so many vege products have calcium in it such as milk itself!Also, lacto-ovo-vegetarians have eggs in their diet. Also,a balanced vegetarian diet is very much do-able and not ridiculously hard to access or manage.
