Animals

There are many arguments as to what is right/wrong or good/bad when it comes to the treatment of animals. Most times when I tell people I am a vegan they tell me what animals they are going to kill with their bare hands and eat. This does not bother me because in SOME sense I think it MIGHT be okay to eat animals. Let me explain - People often argue that it is the food chain, circle of life, etc and that we are carnivorous and we were indeed designed to eat animals. Fine, I can see that. BUT if you think about it... were we really designed to eat animals? One particular book I read on the topic says "If you were meant to eat animals then go out, catch one with your bare hands and kill it with your bare hands. This might not be too hard to do with a bunny if you can catch it, but unlike any other animals we have to cook it. Is this evolution? Did someone somewhere just say one day "Hey lets make our dinner take longer and put it in the fire!" ???? Your teeth are not designed to bite through raw flesh. Although capable, our teeth are much more similar to a horses than a tigers. Say you eat the bunny you caught and killed... go ahead take a big nice yummy bite out of his side with your nubby ass teeth. Now, you have finished your bunny, but it takes quite a long time for meat to digest in the human stomach. (Don't believe me try NOT eating it for 2 days) This is because your stomach acids must work much harder to break down tissue. (skin tissue, muscle tissue, etc) If you believe you are supposed to eat them then fine, I mean you're not playing Charles Manson here. Unfortunately, many people believe that they should eat animals, thus buying more product and making farmers look for new ways to cut cost and sustain maximum profit. We will take cows for example. Your average dairy cow last for 3 years before it is sent to the slaughter house. Since cows are forced to take medicines that make them lactate year round, they are also hooked up to those lovely milking machines year round too. There is not always someone with these cows and many DO stop lactating and are left with the machines still running and trying to suck every bit of milk from them. This causes pain and infection on the cows, and many are left like this - with infection in their nipples, increased dead white blood cells, blood, and puss getting into your milk... but who cares its homogenized lol.
