Thoughts on Vegetarians/vegans

[particle-jim]

Anyone ever had that 3xBird meal? sure it has a proper name but its like a duck inside a turkey inside a chicken or something with some added bacon/pork for good measure. Thats abit nuts and "wasteful" for a meal.

Think it's called Turducken, name sounds a bit grim but it looks bare tasty

i think it's tarded how people gotta be meat eaters or vegetarians and the meat eaters overdo the meat every day and the vegetarians deprive themselves of even occasional indulgences.

quit being so this or that. be healthier and more aware.

turducken looks incredible, but i dont know if i could bring myself to make it.

[gwa]

yeah totes boring

[Terpit]

yeah totes boring

I knew it

[particle-jim]

I actually went to a dinner party at my vegan friend's house once and all the food was genuinely really tasty but I still reckon it could have been improved with a little bit of cooked flesh

[Terpit]

Christmas without turkey, pork or gravy (that has some sort of meat in it right?) sounds awful

[gwa]

yeah totes boring

I knew it

the fact i have zero desire for it makes it so fucking boring.

would any of the vegetarians/vegans here eat meat in a life/death situation?

depends if the animal had already died.

i dont think i could bring myself to killing an animal.

i feel you blud.

im not even a vego, and id struggle to kill an animal with just a rock or something.... if i had a rifle handle it might be a different story.

I would actually quite like to hunt my own food at some point in the future, I'd rather do that than eat something factory farmed to be honest

judging by your posts in this thread you seem unable to grasp why anyone wouldn't want to eat meat.

Zambezi, your arguments are a bunch of bollocks - they are the most stereotypical shit veggies get from meat eaters. I'm not sure if to laugh or cry about your concern about farm animals dying out if people wouldn't eat meat. What would you choose - not be born at all or live a short life of torture and then be killed anyway?

As for the amount of animals killed for pet food vs. your meat consumption - there is a wide range of veggie pet food available, and some people choose to use that, so it's rather generalising again. (whether it is 'right' to feed your dog or cat veggie food, that's another story, there is such a possibility though)

I'm a bit torn when it comes to pets. They too suffer from people's mistreatment and stupidity, be it incompetent breeding, treating them as toys or fashion items, schooling to be violent etc. As a result many end up on the street or in shelters. If I was to have a pet again, I think I'd adopt rather then buy one.

As for cats, I don't think they kill 'just for fun'. It might look like that to us, but I'd think that it has something to do with them being domesticated and fed yet still acting on their predator instincts. I read that bringing dead prey to the owners is same as bringing it to the kittens, they want to teach us how to do it! There are apparently a few theories on playing with half dead prey, one of them being that the domesticated cat gets to hunt so rarely they want to 'cherish the moment'

As I said before, I'm vegan. Yet I do not preach. Actually, my boyfriend eats meat. I'd rather prepare nice veggie food for both of us to enjoy, than rinse his head about odd sausage. And he seems to like the stuff I make, which automatically makes our household's meat consumption lower. I'm quite happy with that.

meat eaters: would you give up meat if you had to watch a video of a baby cow being smashed over the head with a mace every time you ate meat? (not a repeat, a new baby cow every time)

Not a mace, but if it was one of those bolt guns they use then yeah. And why a baby cow? Surely it would be more sensible to see a video of the animal youre about to eat or that species.

don't know no reason

Actually, most of traditional Polish Christmas food is veggie or vegan

would any of the vegetarians/vegans here eat meat in a life/death situation?

In theory, yes. In practice might be a bit more tricky...

And hunting... I do have a massive problem with guns. If you'd rather catch it yourself, at least put up a fair fight

thanks for dropping knowledge

that's impossible though isn't it, unless we had exactly the same physiological make up as the thing we were hunting, also nature itself is the least fair thing ever.
