No debate for me either as I agree with you there. But why not eat meat from farms with good practices? Or game?And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014 -
Would I be happy seeing a pig being slaughtered in front of me? Of course not. Would I like to see a Cabbage being slaughtered in front of me?

Odd how we use these terms in opposite ways to accentuate the killing of humans and animals.Originally posted by pmeswani View PostMurdered is such a harsh word. Slaughtered is far better.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Indeed. The English Language rightly, or wrongly, allows us to do that. Slaughtering of animals for consumption I can live with. Slaughtering or killing of humans for consumption, well that's another subject altogether.Originally posted by gingerjedi View PostOdd how we use these terms in opposite ways to accentuate the killing of humans and animals.If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.Comment

Personally I would see any meat being killed before I ate it. I would not enjoy it. But if I eat meat I ought to know where it comes from.Originally posted by pmeswani View PostWould I be happy seeing a pig being slaughtered in front of me? Of course not.

Similarly I dont mind hunting if the meat gets eaten afterwards.Comment

That's fair play. I don't necessarily agree with it, but if that is your belief, then go for it. I am not one to deprive another person from retaining their beliefs.Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostPersonally I would see any meat being killed before I ate it. I would not enjoy it.
