Ok, more power to you people who are vegetarians.... But, I would like to say that not everybody is going to stop eating meat. Animals are still going to be slaughtered so a few more vegetarians won't help very much....

I've never seen anyone eat it. I watched a documentary on the process of making Blood Sausage. Pretty gross, neat though.

You must come to Europe then where it's commonly eaten! Black pudding is a breakfast thing in the UK and boudin noir in France and in Belgium (also Netherlands, Germany, etc). In Belgium and Northern France there is also a special 'christmas' boudin with sultanas, etc. (old tradition from days gone by.....).

It's not as gross as it seems and the taste doesn't have to be too strong either!

Next time you're in this part of the world, let me know!!! :D

I've never been to that part of the world. But I do want to go to Germany. It was actually a german documentary that I watched.

thats why i have teeth...

Last time I checked other vegetarian animals like cows have teeth as well. It would be tough to bite into an apple without them.

I find it funny when people use the argument "other animals eat animals so why shouldn't I". So now all of a sudden your comparing your intelligence and lifestyle to that of a wolf or bear? Hmmmm...
What seperates humans from other animals....our ability to reason and make decisions based on ethics and morals. Don't we pride ourselves on our superior intellect, but then we compare oursleves to other animals for convience. We can survive without killing...we just choose to because we like the taste, and I'm sorry but that's just wrong. Knowingly inflicting pain on another creature is wrong. If I went to someones house, took their dog and shot a bolt into it's head you would all be horrified and call for my head. But hey, let someone else do it to a pig (who have equal intelligence to dogs) and that's ok...."me has to have my bacon".
It's ethical amnesia my friends. We pick and choose when to apply our morals based on how convienent it is. It's pretty sad.

I have really been thinking about not eating meat anymore. It really bothers me to eat it. But I dont like any veggies......

Red meat white meat seafood, pork, beef, chicken...mmmm good

I am just asking, I know it is gross how the animals are slaughtered, but how do people expect the meat to become meat? Should we wait until all the animlas die naturally? When you are talking thousands of animals they can;t hire a chicken whisperer to talk nice before the swing it around in circles then chop its head off.

I do not think it is humane in many ways, I certainly think a nail gun to the head of a cow is pretty gross, but would you rather drown them?

There is no good way to kill these animals, but it has to be done.

We kill plants to eat them too, they just can't yell out. They have feeling too, ever notice they wither? They actually can flourish when music is played while they are growing? So to just cut them off at the stalk must create some pain for the plant as it is living too.

That pretty much leaves us with water, and even then, what about the poor microbes in there! The ppor dust mites we inhale each night what about them?

Do you have any problems spraying bugs with RAID? I am sure being poisened by100 times the needed dosage makes their deaths a little better. It is really quick when we smack them witha shoe or rolled up newspaper.

My point is I do not think killing is a good thing, but it is necessary in some capacity for all of us to live. When we die some bug s going to have a really big dinner on it's feet, gross but all part of it. Are aspects of this totally cruel yeah. Feeding animals till they burst for more tender meat is pretty sickening.

You made the choice to not eat things that were put through that, and I commend all you vegans/veggies etc. But I will continue to eat my big juicy fat full cheesburger.

i choose to use my teeth to eat meat, and i don't feel that i am a horrible person for enjoying a cheeseburger or a piece of chicken occasionally. nor do i feel morally deficient for doing so.

good for those who choose to have the willpower it takes to stay away from all animals and animal products, its everyone's personal choice.

If you live in the N.E. part of the U.S., overpopulation of Deer is an issue. How many times do you drive down a 4-lane highway and see their carcasses lying by the side of the road? In PA, it's quite common in the fall/early winter to see several on one short road trip. This is the main reason why there is a Deer Season, and the local hunters are actually a benefit in helping the local game commission control the population. Maintaining a balance between the animal world and the human one is important.

If too many Deer run rampant, there would be more car accidents, more deer wandering into heavily populated areas, and if you understand the many possible detriments that would have, well, then you must have an understanding of why controlling certain animal populations is a necessity.
