Since we have been arguing about eating animals, it is important to know that how many animals are dying for our food. Also, we should not refuse to face from the fact that killing animals for our food is one of human egoism. Moreover, the book "The China Study" written by T. Colin Campbell Ph.D. and Thomas M. Campbell says that eating meat, fish, dairy products, and drinking milk is a cause of the cancer. Human can live our life by just eating a whole foods, plant- based diet. By eating a whole foods, human can have most of nourishment. Cholesterol, vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin B12 cannot take from whole foods. However, Cholesterol, vitamin A, and vitamin D can make by ourself in our body. Only vitamin B12 cannot make in our body so that we need to add vitamin B12 into our body by taking supplements. Therefore, it is possible to live our life without eating animals. Additionally, the author says that by eating a whole food, plant based diet, save our life from the risk of cancer or any other illness and also we can save animal lives at the same time. We do not need to waste their lives anymore. We, human need to eat food to live. We eat animals without noticing how animals are killing by human. There are two believes; we should not kill animals for our food and we need to eat animals so we have to kill animals. We still do not know what is the truth. But we know that we are killing animals for our human egoism and yet we overkill animals every year for our food. Why don 't we start to stop over killing animal lives before we start to argue if we should stop eating animals or
Vivisections, medical research that harms the research subject without providing any benefits to them, is supported by philosophy professor R.G Frey on the basis that the using and killing of animals is morally permissible because humans' quality of life exceeds animals' quality of life. Frey does not disregard the fact that vivisections harm animals, he sees no difference in the pain felt by humans and animals; nonetheless, Frey does not believe that all members of the moral community have lives of equal value. He believes that sacrificing the lives of those with less value is better than sacrificing the lives of those with higher values. Therefore, Frey defends the act of vivisections on the basis that humans' lives are of greater moral value
What is animal cruelty? Why do animals mean so much to most people? Animal cruelty is when someone hurts an animal or does not care for an animal responsibly, like not giving a dog or cat food and water. It's against the law to abuse animals but they don't have a punishment harsh enough for anybody that does that. Most cases of animal abuse is never reported and represented in most rural and urban areas. Animals mean so much to most people because most people would consider a pet more of a friend than just an animal. I’m against animal abuse, and I really think there should be a harsher penalty.
Animals are used today for many sources of protection, food, clothing, transportation, sports, entertainment, and labor, but millions of these animals die each year from abuse. “Most of the reasons that people give for denying animals rights are: animals do not have souls, god gave humans dominion over the animals, humans are intellectually superior to animals, humans are intellectually superior to animals, animals do not reason, think, or feel pain like humans do, animals are a natural resource to used as humans see fit, and animals kill each other” (Evans). It all started in the nineteenth century, when people began abusing animals by beating them, feeding them poorly, providing them with no shelter or poor shelter, left to die if they were sick or old, or by cruel sports. Most of the organized efforts to improve human treatment of animals all started in England. Around the 1800s, there was signs of rising concern for animal welfare in the United States.

Society has recently become increasingly obsessed with health and nutrition, as more and more individuals realize that they can dramatically change their quality of life by adjusting their diet and lifestyle. One way that people have tried to pursue a healthier lifestyle, is by removing meat and other animal products from their diets, whether they become a strict vegetarian who eats no animal byproducts, or a lacto-ovo vegetarian who still eats eggs and dairy. As with any other lifestyle, research is always being done to see if the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, and so far, the results of vegetarian diets have been encouraging. Vegetarian diets have proven to decrease the risk of heart disease, cancer, obesity, and many other health problems. With a little planning and dedication, a vegetarian diet will be healthier and more beneficial than a traditional diet
Various animal rights activists claim that eating animals increases and plays a dominant role in animal cruelty. Pollan refutes this claim stating that humans can eat animals as long as we honor them while they’re alive. Pollan uses narratives, compare and contrast as well as cited, all experts work that he researched to add credibility to his article. “There is, too, the fact that we humans have been eating animals as long as we have lived on this earth. Humans may not need to eat meat in order to survive, yet doing so is part of our evolutionary heritage, reflected in the design of our teeth and the structure of our digestion” (Pollan). Consuming meat has been a main source of food for humans since the beginning of time, and it's part of our nature. Animal consump...
People love to eat meat. For over two million years, humans have relied on eating meat in order to survive or simply just because they enjoy the taste. Early humans had more powerful jaws and larger teeth and relied on meat as one of their main sources of food. As evolution took place and humans evolved, they developed smaller teeth and were only able to eat the meat if it was cooked. With humans evolving and being able to survive on foods other than meat, meat does not have to necessarily be a part of human diet anymore. Although many people have opted for a vegetarian lifestyle, most people still continue to eat meat and do not consider it a cruel act. Many have also stopped eating meat due health risks and environmental concern. Whether
I believe that using animals for food is the only reason for killing animals. They are the best. Some people may argue that meat is not needed in a balanced diet and alternatives to vegetables, fruits, pulses and dairy produce. can be consumed for protein instead, but we have canine teeth. We are suited to eating meat like other carnivorous and omnivorous predators.
Animals are just as living as we are, they deserve the same basic rights that we do and they deserve to live a life without pain and suffering that humans so often inflict. As humans, we have a natural need to help and protect. This need should range from world hunger to ending all harm that comes to any species. We are natural born leaders and therefore it is our responsibility to look out for those who look up to us. As animals have no say we have to be there voice and speak up where needed. Through this and advocating for a better tomorrow we can make a difference in animal abuse and end all harm to those innocent, to make the world a better equalized place.
I now know that meat is a sacrifice that only they will know. Every life has some meaning whether it be to someday become the leader of the free world or to eat, get so fat that you can break your legs, be killed systematically and feed one family. The biggest cliché that has ever been spoken goes something along the lines of ‘It’s the wheel of life that keeps on spinning. The faster we move
People have used the argument that eating meat plays an important role in the overall health of a human and it is the way the cycle of life is meant to be, but this is not the case. Eating meat is unnecessary. Becoming a vegetarian could save countless animals from unnecessary suffering, improve human health, and help preserve numerous natural resources.
Animal Cruelty has many forms, many reasons and most importantly many victims. It is a growing problem in today’s society. Many people may wonder why people abuse animals. The thought is simple, however the answer is a little more complex, there are three main types of animal cruelty. The three reasons are as follows: unintentional, intentional, and cruel intentions. I will discuss each one in more detail.
They used every part of the animal they hunted for survival. However, now we have all kinds of clothing, housing, and are not constantly being hunted by other animals, so eating their meat is simply a luxury. Before man figured out how to hunt larger animals, plants and grains were consumed. This was not a drawback and man lived on fine. Going back to this lifestyle would transform the world into a cleaner place, and could help the world eventually obtain an organic lifestyle, which would be beneficial for the
Having a healthy dietary method can reduce the chances of receiving many health diseases. These health diseases include obesity, heart disease, and cancer. By consuming certain foods and nutrients in one’s diet the risk factors for these health diseases can be reduced. A healthy dietary method that is beneficial to reducing and/or improving these health diseases is the vegetarian diet. The vegetarian diet follows a dietary pattern that is characterized by the consumption of plant-like foods and the avoidance of flesh foods (meat, poultry, and fish). The foods in this diet provide the body with many essential nutrients. This is why many health benefits have been associated with the vegetarian diet. This dietary method has been linked to reducing the causes of obesity, heart disease, and cancer.
