Odd, I've been a vegetarian for 19 years. Someone in my building is frying steak right now. 12:30 AM ? It just woke up that dormant carnivore within me. Omnivore I should say.

Is there a difference between your dog, cat, neighbour, fillet mignon ? Flesh is flesh. It gave birth, it loved it's offspring. I just ask that you think about it. Look at my pics., do I look undernourished. Many of the things that I eat are re-newable 3 times a year. A cow takes 3 years before it's a Big-Mac and many acres of grass, not to mention the traumatic experience of the transportation and slaughter house.

We are all mammals.

In an earlier thread I said that I'd go to bed after 2 or 3 drinks. So off I go.

See you all tomorrow. Love you.

I crave meat!! I don't apologise for it, I believe it is the natural man to want meat. WE have eaten meat since the dawn of time, and for those who call themselves Christians, the Bible condones eating meat!

Nothing against vegetarians, God bless all people. But give me flesh, medium rare...thank-you

Now Paws, if a chicken could hold a gun, don't you think they'd shoot us and eat us? confused

humans, by nature, are opportunistic omnivores like bears, most primates, parrots, pigs, etc. Is a chicken wrong for eating a bug? Not hardly. Vegetarians strike me as narcissists who believe there is a spiritual difference between animals and plants. Who decided eating plants was more evolved or morally correct than eating animals? I agree with vegetarians on the efficiency issue, however the human immune system suffers when it does without certain amino acids found only in animal proteins. We are built to eat both. (no comment on evo vs. creation intended)

Leo. You darn right there is a difference, but I would eat the dog or cat if I had too. Pets are pets, I couldn't see myself with a horse or moose on my couch. Wether we like it or not mamals are food.

I sure do love my pets though.

All living creatures are supposed to be equal...
What gives someone the right to choose which creature is more deserving to not be on the menu over others...
I think it is more a matter of humanity when it comes to killing for a food source rather than making it a sport or devaluing an animals life when it comes to dinner....most of us don't give a toss and just sadly devour more than our poor stomachs can tolerate...obesity is definitely on the increase!
