I HAD THE PLEASURE OF VIEWING COWS AT THE LOCAL COUNTY FAIR. I NEVER REALIZED HOW CUTE THEY ARE UNTIL I SAW A LITTLE ONE THAT LOOKED LIKE A REDDISH BROWN TEDDY BEAR. THEY ARE TRULY BEAUTIFUL AND MAJESTIC CREATURES. THEY ALSO HAVE HORNS LIKE GIRAFFES AND I BET YOU WOULD NOT EAT A GIRAFFE. I BET PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW THAT FRUITS AND VEGETABLES HAVE PROTEIN. IT IS TRUE. EAT A BIG BOWL OF BOILED CABBAGE WITH SOME SALT AND BUTTER AND IT WILL FILL YOU UP. I AM CONSIDERING GOING ON A MEAT FAST, IN AN EFFORT TO LOSE WEIGHT, LOWER MY CHOLESTEROL AND TO HONOR THOSE POOR, MAJESTIC ANGELS.

I m Hindu, in Hindus cow is a gift of the gods to the human race ,is symbolic of Earth itself. the cow represents the Divine Mother that sustains all human beings and brings them up as her very own offspring.in our religion we consider her goddess she is the mother of the gods.
and as Marshall said “The most powerful animals in the world are all vegetarians” and that’s true.
one thing i want to make clear to everyone as a science student that every living being that have a nervous system can feel the pain. We kill animals for eating purpose. Do u ever imagine how much pain that animal has when it was being killed?
No we never think about it we only see the decorated dinner plates with that meat !!!!
THEY ARE LIVING BEINGS THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO LIVE .
THINK BEFOR EATING THEM !

If you choose not to eat meat because you find it revolting, don’t enjoy the taste or even think it’s morally bankrupt, that’s fine. But like religion and taste in music, these are matters of opinion and choice — there is no universak truth. It is neither right nor wrong to consume meat.

Not to bring up the past, but I think Tico made the best point, and I doubt he really cares if any of us “Real” people hate him, because after all, this is only the internet. How many of us can really say we aren’t just Virtual Intelligence programs in some computer mainframe making all vegetarians look bad?

Just some information for Tico and those who think “I will eat steak & be robust and healthy, while making fun of pale, weak, submissive, whiny vegetarians.”

The most powerful animals in the world are all vegetarians. Human beings are “designed”/”evolved” to be starch eaters and those who regularly eat meat tend to develop various ailments and tend towards obesity, diabetes and numerous cancers, not to mention subjecting themselves to various aggressive pathogenic bacteria and “prions”, the proteins that cause Mad Cow disease.

Trolls trolling trolls. Seriously, sometimes the best thing to do, is just let the troll say what he has to, then never respond to him. Because I doubt Tico read anything below his post.

well heres my say
as for eating meat well yes i do but then we were meant to eat a little meat as others have said. In moderation like everything else, as for not eating a dog or a cat well certain culteres do indeed do this because it is what is available. I beleave as some others do that when you take animal into yourself (eating it) that you take part of it’s essence into you. So yes i would consider eating a favored animal, because then you would have a peice of them with you forever. isent that why certain cultures used to eat their dead? To have mom, dad, grandma with you forever? think of this next time you sit in front of those cute cows. Their life was not in vain they died to give of themselves to you. So that you could go on living. a great and wonderful sacrafice. Dont we all contemplate the scenario of being stuck in a frozen cave and having the only option of having to eat somebody there?
Yes the living conditions are horrible for some, but this keeps getting better due to people (like us) who will not stand for it. So for my two cents i would like to say how bout just saying a quick prayer in thanks to that cow for giving it’s life so that we may go on living healthy, and hey while your at it say a prayer for the chickens, pigs, ostrich or what ever else you may be eating as well. I like to think i take some of the best of these creatures these creatures with me wherever i go. Weird i know.

For those quoting the Bible and calling each other “wrong” for not quoting it “right”: you are aware that there are MANY translations and copies of it, all using different words (same goes with all religious books…..explanation for the religious wars?). So, what the Bible says depends upon who printed it.

As for people railing against Vegans, Vegetarians and Meat-eaters: how about a little love for your average person? Those who don’t eat meat claim (not all though) that they are peace-loving, etc. And yet, they are some of the more hostile on this site (not to say that those of us who eat meat can’t be hostile, we can be) and other places while demonstrating. However, I will say that it would be nice to have the animals have better living conditions. Some of them are atrocious. But, expanding areas for more room for the animals can cause bigger issues (including cost). But then again, not doing so is bad for the animals. AHHHH!!!! Too much at one time! My solution: we need to stop eating so much meat! Yes, we are supposed to eat meat, that’s what we’re intended to do and we are healthiest while eating some meat. Emphasis on the word some. From what I’ve read, we’re only supposed to have something like 1/3 or so (or 1/4) of our plate be meat. So yes, eat meat, but we’re not supposed to eat it in the quantities we do. If we stop eating so much, farmers would produce less animals for consumption, thus resulting in more room and better living conditions for those who are are around for consumption.

As far as cringing when people suggest eating “non-traditional animals” (i.e. not cows, chickens or pigs), I can see why people do that. I know I do. But then I think that that’s just the culture for some. They eat what they have available to them. I don’t eat horses or dogs, but I don’t look down on those who do. I could eat a cow I raised, (pretty sure of it anyway) as long as I knew the whole time it was being raised for that purpose. And I would make sure it had a good life before being slaughtered.
