No, they wouldn't, because they'd be too busy chewing on the carcasses of weaker organisms.
I take no issue with vegetarians/vegans, but I've never quite understood this particular argument. If you don't like the taste of meat - fine. If you just don't like the idea of eating meat - that's okay too. If you object to the treatment animals receive in farms or for slaughter - absolutely, and I agree. But to revert it to some patronizing sermon on the morality of being animal is insane to me. Living things subsist on other living things because if we ate rocks, we'd have run out of rocks by now. That's what life is. The fuel which consumes itself.
What's the line anyway? Are plants not also living beings? Is baby corn not mercilessly slaughtered in the fields every day? Or are we only protesting treatment of things that can make cutesy-wutesy eyes at you.
Maybe you can explain in it a way I can understand, and I'm willing to listen, but in the meantime don't equate me with an animal abuser because I've eaten a chicken wing.
Is it normal that in my opinion some people don't deserve love?

Oh, and animal abusers/killers? They are *the* worst of all in my opinion. The lowest of the low.

Does that basically include meat eaters too?

I don't think meat eaters should be included in that list. Thats a bit unnecessary and extreme.

Agreed. People who eat meat generally don't kill them, unless you hunt. There's a REASON humans have canines.
It depends on whose perspective you take. If it were other species, they might say otherwise.
