Ryan commented on the article |I am chosing to respond to only a few of your points, since responding to all would make this post entirely too long. Are you actually suggesting that animals raised on farms and killed for the sole purpose of human consumption are better off than in the wild? Have you ever seen they way slaughter house employees treat the animals by torturing them before they kill them? So I guess cows that have their eyes ripped out with meat hooks while they are still alive are better off that way?
People need to take an objective look at how things are done here and realize that it is fundamentally wrong on all fronts. THAT is what I mean by wrongful treatment of animals.
I went to the site you recommended. I would like to know where they are getting the majority of their funding from because while accusing the vegetarian and vegan lifestyle of being "over-simplisitic" and essentially inaccurate, the site is devoted to the same inaccuracies. For every jab at veganism they take, there is another study done (and published) showing the health benefits of an animal free diet.
Studies such as these have been conducted for many years at some of the US's top univerisities and the results are always the same: veganism is healthier.
P.S. What exactly are the facts about cows in India? Have you ever been there? What do you mean by "a single bullet to the head"? Factory farms don't use guns to kill the animals. Carnivores hunting herbivores and that cycle of life has been going on for millions of years, and will continue. It's PART OF NATURE for carnivores to do so, however we as humans are not complete carnivores (that is an entirely new topic all together). In regards to the herbivores being hunted by STRICT carnivores, the death is quick, since they are well-equipped to make this happen as quickly as possible. Predators break the neck in an instant and the animal is completely dead before "being torn apart". Why do they break the neck first? So they can eat their meal without the animal being alive and moving. So the amount of pain and suffering is equivalent to your "bullet in the head." statement. Please educate yourself a little more before the next post. -

What seems like the best alternative is to not support the meat industry in any way. By choosing a vegan lifestyle, one can be 100% sure that the food he/she is eating was not tortured in any way, as is a common practice in most slaughter houses. There are plenty of resources available today to be vegan and completely healthy at the same time, so arguments about vegans being unhealthy or having a boring diet do not stand up anymore.
By not supporting the meat or dairy industry (free range included) we are not supporting the wrongful treatment of animals, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and can have a clear conscious about what we are consuming.
Thank you for having a blog on sustainable foods! -
