It could be worse. We could be like other animals and attack our food and tear it apart while it is alive.
I feel sorry for animals when I see them - but my grandmother was a butcher. It just doesn't really bother me that much. Some people might be interested in seeing the movies Soylent Green. Just to warn you - there may be some spoilers in the reviews.

But if there is plenty of prey in the animal kingdom, and a single predator (say, a jaguar) brings down an entire animal...they can't eat that entire animal. And since a jaguar is a solitary animal, it can go to waste, even though they do drag it up trees 'for later'.
Humans aren't the only animals that waste resources. ::shrug:: If you don't want to eat meat, hey, cool, just stay healthy. My stepbrother tried to be a vegetarian. He made it a month before he started dreaming about meat.

Actually it's not out on DVD yet. As soon as it gets released I'll be one of the first that gets it. I don't buy videos anymore - so I don't have. It better be released on DVD soon.

Not much is wasted in the natural world.
BoP, you are right, chickens are treated horribly. I still eat it occasionally because I really like it. . .the taste, that is.

That's why I even eat the ligaments, feet, neck. I savor every edible piece; considering all that that poor chicken had to go through.
I will not take it's death lightly. Oh and, JD, please do tell me if you see the DVD come out. I'll be ading that to my Social Sci Fi collection along with Logan's Run, Gattaca, Island of Dr. Moreau and others.

The same can be said of Mad Cows disease, which is, by and large, a man-made (or created) disease. Many cattle were slaughtered just for being in the same area (county) as an infected animal! The numbers, in their thousands, of the recent MCD crisis in England, and Britain are horrifying!

I agree BoP. Who is so insane to feed herbivores other herbivores? Because that's what started CJD in the first place. The same with the foot and mouth disease. All that often uninfected cattel was slaughtered for so called 'health reasons' but then the carcasses were left lying in open air for several days. How healthy is that? Not to mention the inhumane ways they used to dispose of the animals. Just disgusting.

We're gonna eat the dead flesh anyway, does how it's killed really matter? Is there a better way to kill a chicken then chopping of its head and watching it run around and look stoopid? I agree the treatment of some of these animals while alive isn't great, but they just wanna be efficient, and if that's really what bothers you, well, buy organic!

*Puts on selfish cap* I would like to encourage people to go vegetarian or vegan. It would lower demand for the meat and lower prices so us remaining meat eaters can get cheaper meat, even in the short run.

Um no. Less demand means higher prices so they can stay in business.

Tater is right. You need something to create a temporary meat surplus. People going vegetarian would create that. In a little bit, less meat will be produced, and it will be sold for more. We don't want that to happen. We want people to go veggie for about a month or so, then go back to meat so the demand is still there in the long run.

That is why you have to stock up on the meat while it is cheap. That way you don't have to buy it when the price jumps up once the demand rises. Then you start purchasing meat as normal once the regular price comes back again.

Twilight you finally agreed with Tater for once about meat. Well serious I couldn't live without meat.
