Have you ever seen the footage of primates hunting down a different primate as a pack? The heavy stronger ones run up ahead and sit in wait, whilst the small ones chase the prey towards the trap. When the prey arrives the stronger primates jump on their prey and tear it apart. How would you bring the cow down once you have caught? Tie it's shoelaces up!. Three people could easily bring a cow down. A pack of a dozen people could trap and kill a cow with little effort, leaving plenty of meat for them all. I suppose your idea of evolution is Lions going into Ikea to buy knives and forks? Lions are not human beings and have not evolved in the same way. Like us evolving to use rifles and knives and forks you mean? LOL Using rifles is a natural progression from using spears, throwing stones etc. |

"Gloria" wrote Both are unnatural which brings us back to the original point, we are not meant to eat meat. It is not unnatural to use tools, and we are meant to eat meat. Apart from that, your thesis as stated above was very well thought out. Vegetarians are responsible for far, far more animal deaths than meat eaters. But of course, rodents are the Untermenschen of the animal kingdom to someone with a simplistic, anthropomorphising, Disneyesque view of animals. What would you do? Allow mice, rats and rabbits to feed and multiply until there were so many that they ate almost all of the grain and spoiled what they didn't with faeces? Or kill them? If you don't want to eat meat, then that's your lookout. But where did you get the idea from that the rest of us want to be lectured by a monomaniacal browbeating harridan? Anyway I'd love to chat for longer but you've made me feel peckish so I'm off down the KFC. -- -- Regards, Vince.
