Why would someone not eat meat? We can't process raw unprocessed (at least beaten) meat, but Humans and human ancestors have used Fire for milions of years. We became homo sapiens because our hominid ancestors started using fire and hand axes be4 a long long time ago.. So eating processed meat is as natural for a human as eating grass is for a cow..
True enough
Domestic animals profit from us as much as we do from them...
Hmmm.....
We keep their numbers inflated
Great comfort for an animal that has spent its short life in cramped unhygenic concentration camp conditions its fate sealed from the moment it was born with no chance to flee from or defend itself or its offspring against those intent on killing and eating them:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKHMv48bpsQI don't approve of the gratuitous killing of animals but at least the masai take on lions with hand weapons at serious risk to their own lives - unlike moronic gun freak "hunters" who kill at a distance and are responsible for driving large parts of the world's wild fauna to the verge of exinction and beyond.
If we stopped eating meat altogether, millions of cows would die
If cows "dieing" is a justification to eat them then logically it is a justification to NOT eat them. Perhaps you mean that if we stopped eating meat domesticated cow varieties would DIE OUT. Did you?
