Meat Shrink Wrapped Doesn 'T Mean You' Re Not Killer

Decent Essays
I am writing to express my view on your article about young carnivores. I disagree with few of your points. For instance, when you stated that everyone who eats meats are partially responsible for the death of animals, “just because you buy your meat shrink wrapped, doesn’t mean you’re not killer”. I think it’s very harsh to say that all meat eaters are killers, even though we didn’t directly kill the animal for it. You made strong point and I understand it but I don’t see how eating meat that I bought from the shop makes me a killer. We need meat to live. Moreover, meat is an essential part of our diet. Although there substitutes supplements such as iron and vitamins to replace eating meat but these supplements won’t be as good as meat and can cause side effects like weakness in our body. Many people can’t afford buying these supplements as they’re quite expensive so I think we should eat meat to stay healthy.

Furthermore you mentioned that killing animals for meat involves great deal of cruelty.” Blasted out of sky” I strongly agree with your point, no animal deserved to be killed in such cruel way. Also I think we should look for other methods such as putting them to sleep so that they won’t have to suffer. However other people may argue that animals are inferior to humans and they don’t have morals. In spite of this I think animals have feeling like us and can feel the pain

I strongly disagree with this point, because children aren’t mature enough to distinguish whether eating meat is wrong or right. Furthermore I think no parent would allow their kids to witness the death of animal as it can cause great damage mentally. Imagine being 6years old child and you saw birds being shot right in front of you or animals that have been slaughter right in front you. If that was me I wouldn’t sleep for night and I believe all kids will be the same. Over all I think kids have the right

    It is personal choice that matters, if these choices are made steadily. I agree with the assertion of the author of “Eating animals”. While some people believes that the world is full of many other problems and this issue is not significant enough to be the first on the “Main problems of the mankind” Agenda, I believe the thinking of adopting (even partly) the not consuming factory farmed meat lifestyle is…

    As the wise man Edward Freeman once said, “These awful wrongs and sufferings forced upon the innocent, helpless, faithful animal race, form the blackest chapter in the whole world’s history.” In the article “A Change of Heart about Animals” Jeremy Rifkin discusses that animals are no different than humans. Being no different than humans means that someone or something is similar to a human being because of either their characteristics or similar body parts. Animals are like humans in the way that they are intelligent, affectionate, and skillful. Animals learn by their behavior as well as humans, however, the only difference is many animals are brutally abused.…

    Not all of them die instantly when having their throats slit, and those that do survive, remain conscious while being plunged into boiling water tanks to have their hairs removed. All of this happens while they are being skinned or hacked apart (PETA). That being said, dismissing a meat-free diet by saying that meat is too delicious is an ineffective statement as everyone already knows that, and furthermore, all it accomplishes is further angering the people the article is trying to…

    On the article “A Change of Heart about Animals”, Jeremy Rifkin argues that animals should be treated humanely because, according to science, the differences between animals and humans are less than what we think. He believes that animals should be given the rights that protect them from inhumane treatment and human consumption. He is telling us that we have to give them the same rights that a human possesses. In affirmation to Jeremy Rifkin, we should treat animals humanely because they also have a heart that can feel pain and a brain that can think.…

    Bryan Cruz Ms. Jacobs ERWC Period 4 October 5 2015 Animal Rights Over the years of humankind, humans have always treated animals badly because people think of animals lower than them, but it has been shown that they’re much different than us and even Jeremy Rifkin explains that in “A Change of Hearts about Animals”. Animals are more like people than they first thought and should see why. It has been proven that animals have emotions like us and feel sad or happy. Animals also have shown their intelligence in tests that has changed our views in how they solve problems. They also have to be taught things that they never knew, just like humans.…

    The animal rights movement consists of privileged ideology based off emotion and no logic. Nathanael Johnson explores these ideals in “Is there a Moral Case for Meat?” and a couple in the film “At the Fork” explores the morality of farming. While the article and film seem to take similar stances on the farming of animals, I disagree. Humans do not have a responsibility to avoid meat or mitigate the suffering of farm raised animals.…

    In this case one can decide on their own if they believe meat consumption is healthier. The problem doesn’t lie within the benefits; it lies within the humanity.

As many philosophers and animal rights activist have tried to say time and time, human or not it is no question that animals feel and think. Why would anyone want to intrude on that?…

    The practices and methods, of killing animals that goes on in the animal farm, needs to be Changed. Pollan states that”… to ensure that farm animals don’t suffer and that their deaths are swift and painless (374) Such practices are not the natural way of rearing this animals. Animals can feel pain, the process of making them go through this pain before they are killed is not necessary. The animals should be treated and cared for in a respectful manner and they should have a healthy living environment where they can be free to move around stretch and interact with their physical environment. This will free us from the guilt that we inflict pain on animals when we kill them for meat if we adopt this change of using a more human (painless) method of killing…
