This is ridiculous. God gave man dominion over all animals. The animals you speak of were put on earth to feed us.

Theres no reason we shouldnt eat them. But theres even less reason to kill them so inhumanely. Thats the problem. Its exploitation and God definately did not give us something just so we can act like spoilt children.

Tena and Elle- there is absolutely a reason to not eat animals- we don't need them. (Most) vegans are not opposed to eating animals for survival, but a loving God would not condone killing animals for pleasure, and that's what turkey on Thanksgiving is. Killing for pleasure.

I agree with you Farm Animal Rights Movement: For crying out loud, animals were NOT put on this earth for humans to eat them. And God help those humans who torture and kill innocent animals daily. Now that is NOT what God intended for these animals. Tena: Do you believe in Karma? What goes around, comes around!

Tena . . your fictitious god didn't put animals on earth to feed us. We are EVOLVED and are best served by eating vegetarian/vegan.

Julie - I could possibly agree that God did not put animals on this earth for humans to eat. Gen. 1:26 through 2:9 make no mention of eating animals. It IS mentioned three times that the plants were good for food. Here's the problem though - man choose not to obey God. As a result of this disobedience, "The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them." Gen. 3:21 NIV. The eating of animals is mentioned plenty of times in the Bible. If you believe that Jesus is God, how could it have been ok for Him to eat meat, but not us? As for killing animals for pleasure: There are probably very few individuals who would agree with this. HOWEVER - killing animals for sacrifice is entirely different, and the topic for another post. BUT - could someone explain how my Thanksgiving turkey is "killing for pleasure?" Kathy - God? Karma? you can't pick and choose parts from different religions to suit your needs. Well I guess if you're a Unitarian Universalist..... AND here's another question: Why do you folks believe is it ok for a non-human animal to kill and eat another animal, but not for humans to eat animals?

Can't believe I'm actually getting into this...but here goes: 1) "Man chose not to obey God..." I'm not a Christian, I am a Buddhist, so my view will certainly contradict yours at points. But, as a Buddhist, my spiritual view is that we need to create heaven on earth. Christians, it seems to me, would want to work to make Earth as close as possible to the Paradise God created. 2) "How could it have been okay for Him to eat meat, but not us". Necessity. Simple as that. In Biblical times, they ate meat very rarely, and it was to supplement in their diets what they couldn't get otherwise. We aren't in that situation any more. We can choose what we eat, and we have an ethical obligation to eat the least cruel diet that is possible. 3) "explain how my Thanksgiving turkey is 'killing for pleasure' " . Again, because it is not necessary. You are not eating a turkey on Thanksgiving out of need, you are eating it because you want to. That makes it an act of pleasure, and just as morally reprehensible as torturing a dog for pleasure. 4) "Why is it okay for a non-human animal to kill and eat another animal?" Again, necessity. Tigers need animal flesh to survive. We don't need to eat animals to be healthy; in fact, we are generally healthier without them. God wants us to treat ourselves well, correct? If a vegan diet is the one that makes us the best stewards of the earth, is the least cruel to animals, AND is the healthiest, why would God oppose that? -Michael (Same person who runs the Farm Animal Rights Movement account)

I really don't understand why, when we now have an animal activist whom no one alleges harmed a human or animal on the 10 MOST WANTED LIST, that more people are not speaking out loudly to the Obama administration. Especially when every group from HSUS to PETA has signed on as opposing AETA, and especially in the unethical way it was passed in the first place. Bravo to Alex whom I have known for decades to keep this in front of people.
