Agreed. I believe that the earth is warming up....but as to whether or not it is because of us burning fossil fuels is still up for debate in my opinion.

How about people who are "for" neither? Nature is cruel and personally I don't care to witness death and suffering of either party. I understand that carnivore animals need to kill and eat meat and it is part of life. But I don't enjoy witnessing it either. I have issues with people who do take enjoyment from watching an animal die. Making decisions, feeling empathy, and understanding consequences is what makes us human and separates us from animals.

There is a very sick video circulating of hunters using a golden eagle to kill a young deer. Leave it to humans to use wild creatures for a violent sport. It's the same mentality of those that enjoy dog and rooster fighting. (I can't type co_k fighting without offending the spell check censor? And Dell is the replacement word???) Now that is just wrong! :rofl: )

I do have philosophical issues with people who enjoy killing and watching it.

My personal beliefs are that humans are evolving, and those that abstain from eating meat are at a higher level than those of us meat eaters. Not eating meat is a healthier lifestyle and better for the planet. I have not yet made the transition to a completely meat free diet, but I also realize the implications of the damage to the earth caused by raising mass-market beef, pork and poultry and the soil destroying corn crops grown to feed livestock . I hope to one day be totally meat free. I'm a vegetarian wanna-be in a meat loving family. :lol:

Some humans hold on to their animalistic nature and have an innate need to kill and obtain enjoyment from it. It doesn't make it right or wrong, it just is what it is. It is my hope that this will eventually evolve out of humans.

The only time humans will give up meat, is when we've all evolved a mouthfull of Mr Edds teeth, or meat tastes so disgusting/polluted we cant stomach it any more.I watch doccos about Lions I don't derive enjoyment from the killing, but from the whole educational perspective, there will always be the minority of animals in human suits, but as civilised beings we're not aloud to go and rip them apart, is that for better or worse?The whole fruit/meat issue will be around until nature resolves it one way or another.

I'm not an advocate for violence, but if killing never happened, this world would be so incredibly overpopulated with every species that there would be no room for vegetables.

yes well you'll live happy and die young. I don't think thats a bad thing either. I don't actually eat like a bluey I just think that our nutritional needs are similar.

Considering I exercise and don't drink or smoke and eat in moderation; I think I'll do fine in the lifespan department. 8)
