Are You a Vegetarian? | Poll & Discussion

That being said, I am very against eating wild animals, because I don't like destruction of natural beautiful things. Any human-created breed, however, is perfectly delicious and acceptable in my opinion. A cow, pig, chicken, or whatever, is basically a crop in my view. It has the same status as a food item as a potato does.

I would have thought the opposite. Wild animals, described by you as natural beautiful things, eat wild animals. Aboriginal races eat wild animals. Give me wild duck to chicken any day.

Here's a few lines from Dryden, which, absent of the God talk (if you're an athiest) is quite good, imo ..


By Chace our long-liv’d Fathers earned their Food;
Toil strung the Nerves, and purifi’d the Blood:
But we, their Sons, a pamper’d Race of Men,
Are dwindl’d down to threescore Years and ten.
Better to hunt in Fields, for Health unbought,
Than fee the Doctor for a nauseous Draught.
The Wise, for Cure, on Exercise depend;
God never made his Work, for Man to mend.

I wouldn't want a 17th century "doctor' to work on me either.
