If you eat meat.........

[McMouse]

should you be prepared to kill the animal yourself? And if not, should you be a vegetarian?

[ummmm]

No & No

[squarebear]

No, no. I like to live in a house but I wouldn't be prepared to build one. I like to wear nice clothes but I wouldn't fancy a go on the loom.

Part of the price of buying things goes to the people who actually made the thing.

[cazzz1975]

if I had to yes
If thats what not killing my own meat means, yes

[pa___ul3]

if it came down to it yes, although I admit I'd struggle at first. And yes, if you were not prepared to then surely the same moral reasons stopping you from killing the animal should suggest you shouldn't eat one.

[jackthehat]

I'm with SB on all points.............

[whiskeryron]

No,No. I also do not want to milk my own cow, fetch my own tea from India etc. We pay other people who are prepared to supply us with the goods & services we require. If you object to eating meat that is your choice,so don't wave the morality flag at us carnivores.

just a thought

[paddywak]

I've never considered being a veggie, and yes I would and have killed game and fish to eat, in fact if I hadn't had a stroke and still handle a gun I'd still be doing it.

[ganesh]

No,I agree with squarebear,you pay people to do things you don't want to or can't do.Although I AM a vegetarian I think that is fair enough.You all know it has been killed for you and you are eating it.There's a lot of jobs out there that I would be too squeemish to do as well.

[McMouse]

<<don't wave the morality flag at us carnivores>> I'm not objecting to eating meat, I'm posing a question........that's what happens on CB.

[ganesh]

Who is that directed at mcmouse?

[squarebear]

whiskeryron said that eariler in the thread ganesh...

[ganesh]

ooops oh yeah,I just thought he'd read my post wrong and was having a go,paranoid or what?

[LoftyLottie]

No and No for all the reasons others have given.

If I had to kill my own I would be a veggie and that wouldn't worry me at all. I don't like meat that much.

But I love fish and I couldn't bear to land one and see it die either!!
