I get upset when people try to tell me that they are vegetarian because they want to save the lives of animals. That's bullshit and we all know it. You gotta look at it this way. Every single meat type option at a restaurant comes from some sort of meat farm. The animals on this farm are raised purely for the production of meat. Mindless dumb animals. I know it sounds cruel but that's what they are. Now if someone was to rally everyone in the world and create a mass boycott of the meat industry. All of the cows and sheep being raised at these facilities would be left in limbo. By this I'm saying that these animals are not suitable for the outside world. If you release them they'll get eaten by wolves or die by disease. That, in my opinion is worse than what happens at the slaughter houses.
Man has always hunted for food. We have always eaten meat, be it goats, fish, or turkey. I am confused as to why people are choosing now, after hundreds of years of hunting, to get all pissy over eating them. Hunting and eating animals is part of the natural process of being at the top of the food chain. Its what we're supposed to do. I know now that there are "meat alternatives" but honestly those 'alternatives" taste about as good a homeless man's shoe. But, for real people eat a hamburger and support the slaughter of innocent animals. Its natural.
Have you ever heard of a thing called sentience? It's funny because I also read your blog post on human egos and I think this is an awesome example :) you should also look up the word anthropocentrism while your at it.
ReplyDeleteHaha thanks for the feedback. I gotchu on the terms an definitions. You're talking about the idea that we are the center of the universe, the focal point of evolution and existence. Its funny because this idea proves to be absolutely true. Just look at how long we as humans believed the geocentric model to be true.
