Lets consider this. We are all born despite species we all exist or equally dont exist. No one of us, including any other animal has any more natural right to the resources of the planet, humans think they do for two reasons, inheritance and dominion. Inheritance is truly greedy and selfish right in line with humans, like the immature brat at the toy store who wants everything, even opens a few toys. Dominion.. well we are efficient at a lot of things, but our tendencies are no better so far seemingly worse, most people i’ve come across are unethical, no i do not suppose that anything but our tools would give us the right to claim kingship over the other animals. Other animals utilize tools also though, maybe not as complicated machinery.

Non of that really matters what it comes down to is that each earthling, including cows and other creatures, independently exist, or equally independently dont exist and therefore deserve the same rights and liberties.

I eat meat occasionally especially now that its winter. Summer i am mostly raw vegan. But just because im going to eat meat (i rarely eat cow) doesn’t mean i need to believe the lies and in the end lie to myself to justify what im doing.

life feeds on life, energy is not created nor destroyed only changes.

I don’t really feel like there is any point discussing the issue with you as you seem to already have made up your mind.

As for a cow being equal to a man, who said it was? That doesn’t mean it feels zero suffering or pain or that it wants to be killed. Animals go through tremendous pain when they are slaughtered for meat. Have you ever taken a trip to a local abattoirs? I encourage you to do so.

Meat is now also an issue for climate change and cancer. A study of over 500 thousand Americans has shown that high levels of meat increases risk of over five cancers buy up to 60%. So while you may not feel depressed (that is excellent by the way) you are actually increasing your risk of several other diseases.

Thanks for your comment.

More likely what you eat “with” the meat is what is causing your depression.

Man has been eating meat for 2.7 million years long before depression was around. Depression has only been existent since people started eating high carb diets.

I eat a meat only diet, which is high in fat, moderate in protein and next to zero in carbs and I do not experience depression or anxiety. However when I ate the standard American diet, high in carbs I constantly felt like rubbish. Many vegans I know who have seen the light on this forum: (http://forum.zeroinginonhealth.com/) have experienced the the same – they have switched over to meat and feel so much better for it.

And no I do not feel guilty eating meat. A cow is not equal to man. You lose all credibility when you start talking Karma.

killing means to deprive of life, animal or vegetable, in any manner or by any means

thats why people call that toxic can weed killer.

its great you guys are doing good to those animals. but humans are always doing something wrong. survival of the fittest.

Its amazing how much more I can do in day, and with less sleep while eating vegan. I also have no alcohol,don’t smoke, no drugs ( pharma or recreational) no coffee or sugar added to my food. It may sound boring but I won’t trade the high I get from living this way for anything.

Eating vegan allows me to avoid ingesting bad karma associated with most meat and animals that are slaughtered or abused. I won’t buy into that, or support those abusive practices. its a choice one makes from a conscious effort to give back to the planet, humanity and the whole universe.
