Evidence for God from Science

If a law was brought in that in order for people to eat meat, they would have to do their own killing, would you still eat meat? Would it also depend on the method of killing?

I don't eat meat. I'm a veterinarian.

That might be good right? You go to the slaughter house to kill your own food.

Yes, I would, and have.

In New Zealand, a family we stayed with kept chickens. The night we arrived we had the cockerel, in a soup. Caught, killed and plucked by hand.
Lived free, with hens, well fed and safe.

He was delicious, and appreciated.

Safe? You killed it, you heathen!

Only losers eat meat.

I'd like to think that we've evolved enough as a species, that we don't need to eat meat.

Eating meat is so...Neanderthal.

If you all knew the horrible torture that vegetables and fruits go through, by the hands of humans, you'd never eat veggies again.

Where in NZ did you stay?

I am not an 'animal' person at all. Think our cat is scared of me...
But yeah, I wouldn't kill for meat. Not because I think it's wrong as such tho.

I dunno, the thought of killing a chicken, a sheep, a cow or pig makes me feel a bit out of control and anxious like.

I thought about making a joke about New Zealanders and their sheep, chickens, cows, and pigs.

But, in Nessa's case, the joke is too close to reality, so I'll refrain.

I kill my eggs every time I eat them for breakfast. Smash them on the side of the pan I do. So, I'm half way there right?

Yep, just make sure you have a really solid cast iron pan when you smash the chicken
Poor thing wont know what hit it

Yes. Have you ever seen how a combine works while harvesting? Just the sight of those behemoths coming down the row will traumatize the grain!

Stayed all over but the chicken incident was in a place called Tutakake (or something) near to Whangerei. Its where Ihad my second miscarraige.

I think if you eat meat, its only fair to be prepared to kill your own meat. Would love torear my own animals to eat, ensure they have a good life, that theyre killed humanely. That has to be better, and natural, than how it is.

My immediate thought was - no, too hard. Easier to learn to make vegetarian meals

My problem is that I can't kill plants, in order to eat them. It's a moral dilemma.

My parents are reincarnated as plants. Since I don't know which ones, I just won't eat any.
