Any Vegetarians/Vegans here?

[StoryBook]

So come on, which part of my argument appeals to emotion?

How is saying that we should value suffering, an appeal to emotion? How is saying that we are responsible for the suffering we cause by our actions an appeal to emotion?

My argument again

1. Animals are conscious and can suffer

2. Causing suffering is wrong

3. Eating meat causes animals to suffer

Therefore, eating meat is wrong.



I ask again, if abusing an animal for enjoyment is wrong(eg a dog owner mistreating his dog) then why is meat eating, which comprises of comparable cruelty, merely for culinary enjoyment not also wrong?

1.Humans are conscious and can suffer
2. Causing suffering is wrong
3. Shooting humans causes people to suffer
Therefore war is wrong.

Yet we still keep killing people for our country


Ok, so from the way you talks you must not own a pet. Or at least a dog or cat.
Dogs are carnivores. We own them and must give them food. Most dogs, like wolves, do best on raw meat. Most dogs don't know how to hunt. So to prevent the animal from starving to death we have to kill another to feed it.
Is it wrong to kill one animal to help another? This animal that we kill will most likely get a bolt to the head(here in the USA). A quick death(also nerves of a dead animal can still have reactions long after they die. Meaning their muscles still move. This happens even with euthanasia drugs) . It will then be processed or cut up.Then fed to dog.

How is that any different the a person eating the animal?
