Why is it ok to eat animals?

agent_fish · #1 09-09-2006, 02:10 AM

I was talking to a vegetarian girl who thinks it is wrong to eat animals. She's a pretty cool girl. She's probably one of the smartest girls I've ever met. That's why I question my arguments so much.

I hold the position that humans have no "implied social contract" with animals (as we do with other humans), therefore we are free to kill and eat them as we please. I could elaborate a bit, but I want to hear what you guys think about this.

I have to say, no matter what the results of this argument are, I still plan to eat meat. I just wonder what the arguments are for and against.

Thanks,
af

implied social contract?

I hope she convinces you to become a vegetarian. You don't deserve to eat meat.

I found some tofu the other day that tasted good. It was flavor-infused o something with herbs.... I dunno, but it tastes good and I'm psyched about it. Just thought I'd let y'all know.
