Because we have something animals don’t – the ability to choose. We can choose to lessen pain and suffering, but a lion or a shark, or a sharklion or crabshark, can only choose one thing: to be what it is. Our nature is to be what we want, to shape our environment and ourselves as we see fit. And we’re not only capable of self-awareness, but awareness of others, too. To ignore and discard that is to disregard the very core of our humanity.

Comparing animal nature and human ethics is like comparing apples and transistors.

No, I’m not a vegetarian.

anyways, back to internets, lol dongs

Plants feel a neurological response very similar to pain when damaged or picked…

With all this whining about cruelty to animals by eating meat (I try for free-range and hormone-free meat; I’ve got Addison’s, and some excessive hormones really do make me a bit sicker) with all respect, have vegetarians ever traveled to Kenya to see a pride of lionesses take down a zebra? They frequently eat it while it’s still alive. Blood everywhere; the zebra usually still feels pain if its spine isn’t broken already… Nature can be extremely violent (and entertaining) to its own animals- why should humans get flack for what they do naturally?

And, yeah, PETA does not speak for me. I don’t care what anyone else eats, but I don’t eat meat and I might wear a lettuce bikini this summer…

I’ve never used someone else’s arguments and tried to win free internets by indirectly (or hell, directly) claiming them as my own, no.

And for the record, plagiarism only applies when you attempt to pass off someone else’s work as your own. Desktop wallpapers don’t do that. Learn to dictionary.

Oh, and there are 3 Ys in Mayyday. ^_~

vegetarians might not equal peta. but in this case it does.
