And I suppose that next you'll argue the ethical problems concerning the eating of vegetables and fruits? Just because animals can move around and have brains doesn't mean they give a damn if a hominid eats one of them. Yes, we could be deemed as animals ourselves, but after millions of years of evolution, WE'RE the ones on top of the food chain. And don't try that "species are endangered because we eat them" argument, because the only things keeping populations of animals in check are as thus:
1. Predators (including us)
2. Careless fucks who don't give a damn about nature who go around slaughtering animals by the hundreds of thousands for MASS CONSUMPTION (i.e. McDonald's)
3. This insane fasco-capitalist society we live in and force down other nation's throats which threatens nature with every step of "progress".
So you see, you uninformed fool, that as long as we followed the unwritten law of nature and ate only what we truly needed to be satisfied (physically, not gorging ourselves to feel better psychologically), we could end (or drastically reduce) the problem of senseless slaughter of food animals (pigs, cows, chickens, seafood, fish, etc.) AND the problem of obesity in humans.
Killing animals for food is not senseless on its own, since we as humans have been doing that ever since we roamed the plains as half-apes scraping up leftover carcass-meat, then later on hunting animals for food, to supplement their omnivorous diet. We're designed to eat meat, and so we do. The problem is that we eat TOO MUCH of it. A large percentage of us Americans are gluttons, and we've ignored nature in favor of fast food and instant gratification of their insatiable hunger.
Remember that the next time you make an argument against eating meat. Remember, cows, pigs, turkeys, fish, etc. DON'T GIVE A GOOD GOD DAMN IF THEY ARE KILLED AND EATEN AS FOOD! They are biologically incapable of processing emotions. The whole "animals-for-meat ethics" is totally illogical and is an ill-conceived idea.
Bottom line.
- Please don't brainfart in my direction.
Thank you very much.
