 QUOTE(Shackman @ Feb 26 2005, 06:23 AM) I am not too sure, but for many of you, this is a sensitive topic. I hope the contents of this post do not offend or collide with and religon or beliefs. This is merely a POST!!! Many a time, I ask myself, should we even eat meat? Maybe most of us are aware that animals have to be killed in order for us to obtain thier meat. Little do we know how the animals are killed or the sufferings they encounter. Generally, most chickens are reared large-scale and they are known as battery chickens. The battery chickens are give very poor living conditions. They are known as battery because their cells are like batteries. The chickens are tightly packed together like sardines. Maybe you have been in a crowded bus before. Imagine the agony of squeezing. Those poor chickens are squashed throughout their whole life. The chickens are in a dark shack, lacking sunlight. They are not allowed to move. They are made to lay eggs everyday. They are injected with chemicals to make them produce more eggs. Imagine, a mother giving birth is so much agony, imagine the poor, young chicken, funding Singapore's egg demand! Once the chickens cannot meet the targets by the egg farm, they are sent to the slaughter house. They are first loaded into small and tiny cages and loaded into a lorry. The lorry takes its long and bumpy journey to the slaughter house. The slaughter house is usually at a very rural area and so there are no proper roads. This makes the journey very bumby and the chickens are badly brused. Once the chickens reach the SLAUGHTER HOUSE, they are hung by their legs on a moving conveior belt. They are then dipped, and technically dipped, into a large pan of electrified water, like you dipping french fries into tomato sauce. Some are stunned, some are knocked out but some are unaffected. Their throats are then slit and they are left helplessly to bleed. While they are dieing, workers pluck their feathers off. This all happens when the chicken is bleeding, that means that it is ALIVE!!!!!!!!!. Imagine that. After their featehrs are plucked, they are thrown into canster of water and left to die. Maybe this article has shed some light on your eating habits. Maybe you would think twice about the poor, helpless animal who was slaughtered before you munch happily on their meat. We sound like barbarians. I remember a show named 'Planet of the Apes'. If my memory servers me correctly, there was a scene where the humans were captured in cages. Now, lets take a comparison, when humans are the victims, we make it as though we are prisoners and that we do not deserve this. When we capture animals and put them in the same condition to be killed, we say nothing about it and don't even care about it. Are we being like Apes?? I hope all off us will take time to think about how human domination has cause alot of suffering. Maybe think about the poor animal before eating. -Shackman  Wow I think I've never seen it that way ..... but lets see .... vegetarians call themselves 'enviromentalists' (typo?) ... but we (By the way, Im half vegetarian) are eating the green areas. Therefore, we are healthy but the planet's oxygen is slowly disappearing, mostly thanks to us. I suggest to eat meat! Most wild animals do it so why can't we do it? cheers
Ok dude....we cant live a healthy life without eating meat....Well you can but how idiotic is it to not eat meat....Its a fact in life that things are going to be killed to obtain for food to make energy for us humans at the upperside of the food chain...Just look at how we kill living plants to eat them...They may not be moving, talking things but hell, they are still alive....Just think about how you will survive on artificial food.....not long....we need meat for protein although it seems wrong to kill it, it isnt and is just the way things are...lol eat meant...its good fer ya.
Its all part of the food chain, using vegetablesalone you cannot create something that has all that meat has, maybe close like soja burgersbut not the same. You'll just have to eat meat & vegetables to get a good diet. People who don't want to kill other animals, well sure because it looks sick in a slaughter house but how else are you meant to do it? You're doing it for millions of people and loads don't even have the money for a near-meat substitute. Anyway, thats my opinion, plus meat is real nice and soja/artificial meat just lack the taste, texture and nutrients of real meat.
The moral correctness of eating meat depends entirely on which set of morals you follow.
To survive, any animal needs a certain amount of certain kinds of substances. In the case of carnivores and omnivores, this includes meat. The protiens, fats, iron and various other substances found inside meat are hard to duplicate in pills, and difficult to find in plants and the like. Some religions do not eat meat, or even condone the killing of any living thing. Some religions celebrate meat. Some people choose not to eat meat. Some people choose to. Some people choose not to eat meat that has been processed and brought from the supermarket, but instead hunt it themselves. It all depends on what you, the consumer of food, feel is right.
What about turning around and eat insects instead...
There's spiders, scorpions, ants and cockroaches... Centipedes, bees and mosqitoes too... Have it deep fried, steamed or bbq... New world.. and not tried... So is this morally correct somehow ?

For example, I saw a news coverage about a restaurant in Mexico whose main plate were cockroaches ... people said it wasnt half bad. This is not a bad idea though, we're avoiding plagues by eating 'em. The thing is... what if those insects still have poison inside them by the time we're going to eat? Hmm....
Morrally.. um just has to go with religiopn on this as some animals are sacred and all but i am not botherd in eating them.. i just don't like how some of them are killed
Well, if the animals are allowed to eat meat, why aren't we allowed to?
I thought we were "animals" also. And yes, meat does have nutrients that vegetables don't like I mentioned in the post I made a few weeks back. You could survive on vegetables alone, but you would most likely skinny and weak (unless you already have a strong metabolism). You may even become anemic (which is a difficiency resulting from a lack of iron...I believe meat contains most of our iron intake, wheat contains a little, and several vegetables as well, correct me if I'm wrong).
We are human, we still animals, rational animals with advance inteligence (or this way it should be lol), it's the law or survival. Besides that, we wouldn't totally healthy without meat.... and there would be no macdonalds
