I also care much less for a stranger than my best friend. Does that mean I should be allowed to torture and kill the stranger? I don't think so.

Hm I wonder, I've tried supposed NY style pizzas before and its still nothing like NY pizza. I hear its because of stuff like water and altitude that makes NY pizza the way it is. That and NY is the birthplace of modern day pizza. XD

Overall, I must have my meat, it's what allowed my body to be as strong as it is now. I'll be damned if I was some gangly skinny pale skinned weakling.

Plus, if a policeman was to come to your home to announce that it was your best friend, it'd hurt a lot more. Same aspect can be said for a pet that has been tortured and killed and then notified to you, in comparison to a random dog that has gone the same fate. It may hurt on both counts, but higher chances that it'd be the former that'd affect you more. (Of course, for some humans there is no distinction) Thus the difference and a similar aspect with eating meat perhaps. </end topic> Although saying that, I discovered three weeks ago that as much as I love eating meat and fish, I cannot bring myself to kill the animal/fish to eat it unless it can be quick, (which takes some skill to do so without hesistation and with precision) and not start apologising to it while it's trying to still semi attack me xD To end the life of a living being using your hand actively (as in knife or another hand tool that isn't a gun), isn't an easy thing to do, be it for an experiment (frog) or food or whatever. However my friend took that role and I cooked it with no issues (since it was dead now), so not turning vegeterian anytime soon.

The original goal of the OP here of trying to truly understand (as in empathize with) why is simply impossible due to irreconcilable differences. At best, the result is tolerance. People's opinion aren't going to change. Of course, you wouldn't have 13 pages of discussion if people just agree to disagree and leave it at that. |

Fact : Hitler is a vegetarian. He passed a law that lobsters should be cooked using kinder methods.
The best way for cooking a lobster is to drop it straight into boiling water. It will cause it to scream, and when it stops, it is cooked.

I simply could not - don't have the required killer instincts.

That's reassuring. xD

The veals have to lie down on the bare floor, since the usual bedding would contain iron, and almost always develop chronic diarrhoea as well as stomach ulcers. And that is just one half of their suffering. The veals are pretty much bored to death. They have nothing to do besides standing around, and so you can watch them grind their teeth, move their tail around restlessly and swag their tongue. It's like a factory chicken's violent pecking or a factory pig's tail biting, if maybe less self-destructive. This is the rule, not the exception. Quote:
My point is that I don't think it's a moral imperative to pick the two year old child if you are forced to torture either them or an adult, since I don't believe you have to understand what is happening to truly suffer, or that you automatically suffer less if you don't. Quote:

On topic - I eat meat occasionally, since eating meat is necessary for maintaining health. It can be replaced, yes, but not very efficiently. Although I see why many people think of it as a moral problem (slaughtering animals for food), it doesn't concern me. |

Once you go bacon you never go back, unless of course you dont like bacon. I just thought of the saddest thing...if you kill cows and make other cows eat that cow...would the cow's meat be tastier (Latest treehouse of horror, watch it and you will see)
