Law of nature. Animals eat each other. Plants and animals each each other.

Humans have the capacity to not eat animals though. We don’t have to eat them. So nature is just pure fallacy.

Nature is not civil. Nature has no rights. We give rights and take them.

Then humans should not take animals rights away.

I agree with you, technology is making humans more lazy, and lack the desire to go to the library and find a book.

A vegetarian diet is not superior to a balanced omnivorous diet.

How so? Red meat is high in saturated fats and "bad" cholesterol, which can lead to clogged arteries and heart disease. Whilst eating more fruits and vegetables will not lead to this.

That depends on what you would define as "a lot". Remember; too much of anything is by definition detrimental.

Not necessarily, you can replace meat products with other proteins, which then will give you a equal balance diet.

That is hardly a valid inference.

The Canada’s Food Guide recommends seven servings of Fruits and Vegetables for female and male adults, and Meat and Alternatives one for women, and two for men, as you can see why, from my point of view of course.

In one sense you are correct; animals are a resource and it is correct to say that using a resource is exploiting it. That, however, is not what you meant. Humans are omnivorous organisms. This simply means that we can gain sustenance through the consumption of both plant matter and other organisms. As we evolved this way, there is no valid moral argument against our consumption of other unendangered animals.

I believe your evidence here is invalid and lacking, humans do not need to be a omnivorous organism, and we can survive without consuming meat, and meet our nutritional requirements with it from other products.

Because we are at the top of the food chain (excluding viruses).

Even if we are at the top of the food chain, it does not mean we should exploit and slaughter animals – we forgot to put the man in man-slaughter. Animals are living things, why should humans slay a living thing that feels pain. Note, pigs were used to be tested for the atomic bomb, is that truly justified? No. Their stomachs were torn apart, screaming in agony.

Simple; meat tastes nice, vitamins rarely do.

Sorry, not good enough. It does not matter if meat taste good and vitamins do not. You should not kill an animal for one’s desire, thus, if we can live without it, when we can merely take a pill for it.

Animals do not go through agony. Slaughter is a remarkably quick process.

Yes, a lot of animals are tortured, exploited, and some are kept in small crates the day they step out of their mum’s womb, and are kept where they can hardly move, being fed to get fat, getting exploited for human fulfillment. Plus, killing animals takes up too much time, energy, resources, money, food to feed the animals in order to die quickly to get fatter, and it ruins the environment,

Plants are living organisms too. Deal with it.

Plants lack a nervous system. While they may react to stimuli, and even send out chemicals in response, they cannot "feel" anything. Plants do not have a brain to process the sensations. Any being that has no brain, such as all plants and bivalves, cannot "feel" anything.

Irrelevant. Milk is nice, milking a cow does not harm it. These facts eliminate virtually any argument in favour of abolishing the factor.

OK, I see your point, yes – it does not harm the cow. If it does not hurt the cow, then yes, it should be accepted. I do agree with your statement here.

Chickens are a remarkably stupid animal, wholly unsuited to "roaming free" in western environments. Foxes would wipe them out in a very short length of time.

It’s still a living thing, and being exploited and slaughtered.

Simple economics, money not spent in one place is spent in another or invested in a banking establishment or in some other enterprise. You are essentially swapping meat for something else. Meat is what people want; therefore they spend money on it. They are obviously prepared to spend the money, so your argument is worthless.

All the reason more why I’m not in favor of Capitalism. Not true, we could use the money for other valid resources for our society, and not on slaying creatures for human fulfillment.

Because we are the only sentient organisms on Earth.

Because we invented the notion of "rights".

Because the only standards by which such matters are judged are our own standards.

Animals are well aware of their surroundings.

How nonsensical, humans should not have the notion of killing another living thing.

No, we need to not only look at our standards; we are not the only living species on this earth.

So you believe that an injured rat should receive as much access to a hospital as a similarly injured child?

I should have made my statement more clear, no, not medically, but not exploited to be slain and eaten by humans. There is a place called the Vet, I'm sure you've heard of it.

I believe more people should become a Vegetarian because, it's a healthier life choice, consuming a lot of meat can lead to illnesses. Eating more vegetables and fruits is more beneficial than consuming meat products, since majority of North Americans eat meat more than their greens. Also, eating meat does exploit animals, even if Harvey's hamburgers are delicious, ha-ha. My point is, why should one kill something in order for a human to take pleasure in, when we can merely consume Vitamin B12 pills to replace our meat, which does have B12 inside it. Why should an animal have to go through agony, just to feed our stomachs, when we do not have to eat meat? There are a variety of ways to consume calcium as well: fortified, spinach, broccoli, tofu, beans, and nuts. Cows do not need to be milked, once the calf has grown-up, it will no longer need to consume it's mother's milk. Some farmer’s have their chickens locked in a barn where they cannot roam free, pumped with drugs, they die faster but grow bigger for the consumer and big corporations; they can hardly see sun light, treated with disrespect. With less meat in our society, we would save billions of dollars, less 'bad' fast foods, replaced with healthier foods that are not meat. Why should a human have any more rights than an animal? We all live in this world together, and we should all be treated with respect and cared for equally.
