Yes:

Yes, humans should be able to kill animals for food and clothing as long as there is no risk of extinction

No:

No, killing animals for any reason should be outlawed. Everyone should be a vegetarian and leather goods should be illegal.
 
Killing for food is fine, so long as the animals aren't endangered. Using those animals skin for leather products is also fine in my books since there's no point in wasting it.

Its killing exotic and endangered animals so rich collectors can show their buddies what great 'hunters' they are (forgeting to mention the sophistication of their weapons and the hired tracker they paid to help kill a lower intelligence creature) that I am against. I'm also against killing for fur, unless its hairy cows...

As for vegetarians, I don't think they know what they're missing out on. Mmmmmm, McDonalds :cool:

I find it acceptable to kill animals for food. As long as the "killings" in question are humane, I won't have a hard time accepting this. But it's another subject altogether if animals are killed for fun... that's what I despise. But since this subject is directed at food, then I'd say yes.

D4E, what's wrong you you? McDonalds? Yuck... cardboard burgers. If you want real beef, go to Hungry Jacks and get yourself a Whopper. ;)
 
Yeah, we should.

My missus is a vegie, but there's no probs there. It's a personal choice. However, I'm a big meat-eater, and am all for killing animals for food.

It's called the food chain. We happen to be near the top, or at least the best equipped to kill and defend ourselves. Sharks eat fish. Fish eat plankton. We can eat both sharks and fish.

In the beginning, man had no choice. Meat was survival. Now there are many alternatives, but I don't see it as cruel to kill animals for food. I'm sure an animal eating us doesn't think twice about it being cruel, or whatever. It's nature.

I agree with you Hitters. It's only cruel killing animals when it's only for enjoyment.

This is based on self-awareness. Lower mammals, reptiles, etc have little or no self-awareness... for it's just instinct. You think that mice are aware that they're intruding our home and making the giants angry? ;)

You continually show yourself to be a complete ignoramus. Your arguments are like those of a seven year old.

ps. Mobes, I'd like some recognition for a line I post quite regularly please. ;) ;)
 
I have no problem with the killing of 'stock animals' such as Cows, Chickens or Pigs...but I am totally against the killing of wild animals for clothing, jewellery etc.

Sorry, didn't realise :)

Well, the best feeling gained from eating meat is knowing that you're doing your bit to make an animal dead.

If it moves, shoot it. If it doesn't, chop it down.

Hungry Jacks? Too damn soggy. KFC is my favourite, but the new McDonalds "ever changing always amazing" menu's are pulling me back to Macca's.

It is our moral obligation to eat meat.

The domestic turkey is a stupid animal. Left to fend for itself in the wild, the species would rapidly fall extinct due to being easy prey for uncountable natural predators. There is only one attribute that a turkey posesses which enables it to survive: it tastes delicious. Because of this one simple fact, we humans farm the turkey. We breed them, thereby ensuring that the turkey will survive forever. It is a perfect symbiosis between two seperate species. The turkeys supply us with meat, and in return we keep their genetic line alive. Face it - without us humans, the domestic turkey and many other animals would have died out a long time ago. Through eating their flesh, we keep them alive.

And this is coming from a bloke whose old man is a strict "moral" vegetarian - no kidding.
 
I mean I know we eat animals but this is just taking it too far!!

Imagine that we lived in some sort of post-apocalyptic world. A world wherein survival meant hustling from dawn to dusk. Hunting and scavenging. Basically, the world we were designed to function in.

In that format, there wouldn't be an anti-hunter, vegetarian (or even a picky eater) on the freaking globe. Quite a few 'reformed' ones I imagine.

No one would have time to watch a Disney movie and start worrying if the rabbits and deers they are eating have ****ing feelings or not.

There wouldn't be any PC, nor so many shades of socio/economic/political leanings.

No, only people with an enormous amount of leisure time can construct a view critical of a society with a lot of leisure time. Ironic, eh?
