PETA UK Is at It Again

you guys are sentimental animal lovers! eating animals doesnt mean that you hate them. I have two cats and a dog. when the animal was killed it probably never felt anything!

"concerning the harmful to fatal proven medical facts about eating meat and animalrelated food sources. " Breaking news for you Vegans die as well.

Cochran Perhaps you haven't read my response to your first comment since I mistakenly addressed it to Ana. Enjoy. Please think more critically about your question! It is obvious that it will never be the case that all slaughterhouses close down simultaneously release their animals and we will be left wondering "oh dear what will I do with these cows grazing on my front lawn?" The point is to reduce buying meat and animal products so that the demand goes down resulting in the slaughterhouses breeding less animals and therefore keeping less animals in wretched inhumane conditions.

Mike I totally agree with your comment. In my opinion ideally people would eat far less meat and what meat they did eat would be fish wild game not widely feasible or free range domestic animals. This would incorporate less agricultural damage I believe. I did not mean to imply that animal farming was not hard on the environment I only meant to imply that the vegan footprint is likely as hard on the environment as an omnivore that eats well. If those athletes were to eat a more paleolithic diet there is no telling how much better athletes they would be. Giorgio I never claim that the average omnivorous diet was healthy. I claim that a selective omnivorous diet is healthier than a vegan diet. If you are a strict vegan and you do not take some form of supplemental B12 you will become deficient. Your hands and feet will go numb and you will become anemic. You will also have softer bones low calcium fractures are higher in strict vegans and if you live in the UK you may develop thyroid disease due to lack of iodine. I also contend that you would not have your big brain so that you may engage in this debate if your ancestors didn't eat meat. Most of the scientists that you mention were most certainly not strict vegans. You or your ilk have fabricated those data to further your cause. I contend that most people here are very UNCLEAR especially on how to present a fact based argument. Mr. Quinoa seems to be an exception. They do however mostly share your point of view. They are very good at arguing with their heart on their sleeve so to speak. They all seem to have looked into a dying animals eyes and sprung forth a whole micro culture based on their love for warm and fuzzy creatures with all sorts of psuedoscientific data that tries to justify a purely emotional stance. The original photograph in this entry is a very good example of that. If PETA is worried about zoonotic diseases it should work to abolish the interaction with humans with all domesticated animals including cats and dogs Ariel?. Oh wait it IS working toward that goal. Ingrid doesn't want any of you people owning a cat or dog because they aren't yours to own. My dog is very happy here he will be so disappointed when I kick him to the curb.

mike ruth's sucess may be the residual of the former 42 years as a non vegan. Build things properly in the first place. Perhaps the 34 year old Scott has a similar story. How will we know? Are there studies done on people raised as vegan from birth.
