it would be perfectly feasable for a person or pack of people to chase and

I'd like to see that!

I presume you are under the misapprehension that cows are fleet of foot?

Certainly faster than humans, especially the tubby meat eaters who's
idea of exercise is looking through the McDonalds menu!

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.

Isolated incidents and unusual.

Nonsense. They couldn't catch it let alone bring it down. I presume
your not talking about wild cattle, but the fat overweight ones penned
up?

How long do you imagine it would take a human to break the skin with
it's bare teeth? Or has evolution supplied you with an electric knife
on your unnatural hunts?

Both are unnatural which brings us back to the original point, we are
not meant to eat meat.

Stones are unnatural? Get a grip!
By all means go ahead and advocate veganism or vegetarinism or whatever
but don't talk garbage.

Surely doing one requires the other?

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.

Evidence of their isolation etc?
