Exactly what the world needs, yet another vegan/vegan promotor that has no clue about how an animal is slaughtered. If you want to be taken seriously, you are actually going to have to work by getting your facts straight. And yes, I can slaughter animals, I do that all of the time as I keep poultry. Everyone can, even you, you just need to be hungry enough.

I'm not a vegan personally but I have respect for those who choose that lifestyle. I don't eat meat because I cannot digest it very well. I couldn't bring myself to kill an animal unless I was in a situation where I was going to starve to death. When you're in those circumstances you'd be surprised what you will do to live though. I come from a family who hunts also. I honestly think having the skills to survive off the land is a good thing though.

Why do so many vegans seem to think omnivores don't know where meat comes from? We do. I used to stay with my grandparents in their village every summer. Anyone with a similar experience learns early on that death is part of life, some animals die so that others can live. Lingon is right that anyone can kill if they're hungry enough. It's really not that dramatic.

You realize, people all over this world do that on a daily basis?

And that's why I try to make sure I only eat humanely killed animals and I avoid things like veal, sharkfin soup, and duck liver.

Its funny how I don't ever force a vegan or vegetarian to eat meat, but have to endure them calling me a "murderer"... Double standard much?

I wonder if people were put into an operating a room with a saw and scalpel if they would remove their own brain tumors.

Personally, I'm a vegan but not one of those who says it every 5 seconds or shoves it onto my friends. If they want to have the pizza my school serves for lunch I won't be like "ThInK oF tHe CoW!!11!!!1!!"

This one made me laugh very hard. Terrible acting. Also, this is not how professional animal killing looks like. But in fact I was more annoyed than amused. I'm not vegan/vegetarian and I'll most likely never be. I love meat and how it tastes and all of yummy dishes one can make from it. I tried to "be vegan" while in high school - and believe me, I took this seriously, with lot of reading and asking my doctor about it. It did not work and I felt just terrible, always weak and cold. I just need to eat meat. And i really HATE when some people try to make me feel guilty because of this. Especially when this attempt is just as pitiful as this one.

Nope and nope.

Personally, I'm rooting for lab-grown meat. Yay, science! Until then I just try to cut down on meat and don't buy the super cheap stuff you get at the supermarket. I know people who don't consider a meal complete unless there's a meat component to it. There are weeks when I don't eat any meat at all without noticing. I think if I wanted to, I could switch to a vegetarian diet, but no way could I ever go full vegan. Life ewithout cheese seems dire.

Casa de Carne through Google Translate = House of Meat...

While I totally recognize that many of you have worked with/prepared livestock, most people in the USA do not. I worked for fish and wildlife as the game check attendant, and worked in the fishing industry on the Bering Sea. Yes, I've killed many fish, octopuses, and cleaned deer. Yes, I'm a vegetarian and have been since I was a kid. I can't tell you how many times my meat-eating family and friends have said that they could never do what I've done- kill or prepare an animal. I think if people aren't willing to take the life, they shouldn't eat it. Seems pretty straight forward to me.
