I want to point out real quick that even if I stopped eating animal related foods it wouldn't do much considering that the animal meat bought from the store has already been prossesed, so the animal would already be dead and I wouldn't be doing much other than denying myself a certain type of food.
Yes you would- I'm a vegetarian and I feel exactly the same as you on your main question, someone that would hurt something so innocent for no reason should be hurt back! If die hard was with sheep it would definitely not be my favourite film anymore. But I disagree with you on this comment;if a group of people stop eating meat etc, the demand for it goes down, shops stock less, less animals are killed. Why should they be murdered for us when there are plenty of alternate protein sources?
You are right and I did use to think of it like that. In grades 7-10 I refused to eat meat so that they wouldn't need to stock as much, but then I realized one person doesn't matter. You always hear that one person can make a difference, but that isn't true for everything. All the vegetarians do add up to be quite helpful to animals, but when I wouldn't eat meat I didn't feel like I was helping anything. I have three brothers who all eat large amounts of meat on a regular basis, so me not eating animals didn't really do much in my house.
Fair enough, but even just a tiny bit less can make a difference-maybe not at home but when you're out etc, it might not seem like a lot at the time but if only 5% of british people are vegetarian, its might not save many animals but it'll save a few and I think that's worth it
I guess you're right, even if it does only make a small difference. Giving up meat wasn't that hard the first time I did it, so it shouldn't be too hard the second time either.
Is it normal that I hurt people who hurt animals?
