Does an Animal Feel Pain?

Of course Animals feel pain... they have feelings too, you know...

I know.
And yet I still eat meat.
Wish I could stop harming all these animals.

What are you? Where do you reside, what do you drink?

What do you consume to live? Are you homosapien?

Do you live in water? Can you fly?

What do you eat?

It is supposed to be done as "humanely" and respectfully as much as possible...

Some of us do eat meat, yes... that is up to each individual to decide on dietary choices...

But, not without giving thanks and respect towards the Animal (Lifeform) that you're about to eat... even being thankful for the Vegetables we eat...

Some of us have the digestive systems to be able to eat and break down meats whereas some other's digestive systems can't do this very well without making them ill...

If I eat meat, it is very rarely I do, but it would be fish meat, Salmon, Cod etc and sea food... (love seafood)...

Maybe Chicken too, just small amounts of grilled chicken....

Certain meats can make me quite ill...

Yes animals feel pain.
Yes we eat meat.
The vast majority of animals we eat from the stores were bred for just that purpose.
Your normal chicken goes from egg to market in six weeks. Wrap your head around that for a minute. A song bird at six weeks old can't even fly yet but a chicken is full grown and ready to be eaten.
The cows we eat would simply not exist if left wild. They would breed to the point where they would die from starvation or disease.
Fish are a completely different animal (pun intended) I will not get into.
The agriculture industry pumps billions of dollars into the economy. Ranchers, truckers, feed lots, slaughter houses, your local stores, machinery jobs, and a host of other industries are tied directly into the food supply.
So the vegan/vegetarian argument comes down to should we breed animals for food? The simple answer is yes. There is simply no way possible to stop eating meat without collapsing the American and golbal economy.
There is no way to be ethical in killing an animal and maintaining the food supply.The animal has to die in order to be made into edible chunks. This is done to not waste the animal. What isn't fit for human consumption goes to other industries. Including feeding other animals. Your cat and dog eat meat. This comes from the byproducts of humans eating animals.
If you personally do not wish to eat meat that is your right to do so. However the meat and seafood industry keep the world moving.

It’s going to be okay. What you have to realize is this....if you hiked through a jungle you would be very harmed. It’s natural. We have a lot more brain power than they do so that is something I should consider. All I know is that it’s every animals instinct to stay alive. You as well. Kindness is fine when you have money but then reality sets in.

Yes, of course!!

for everyone has their* own struggle

I am eating less meat these days.

Chickens would eat me if given the chance so they are always on the table.

Do we, humans, indirectly pay for the suffering we bring on animals?

We live in a cosmic economy of Karma.

thats why bullets are the least painful way

I doubt it.

Something about animals paying dues as well...

My animals live like royalty.

Well, I am willing to cast a stone and say you suffer in your life.

If one suffers, all suffer.
an economy of karma.

Asking such a question shows me you have the instinct of an animal. So go get a hammer and thrust a nail in your knee so will know for sure.

Yes I am a sinner.

and how many earthworms and other underground critters are "sacrificed" to the food chain,
when the plows put the rows in the dirt,
and at harvest time the potatoes, carrots, beets, parsnips, radishes, etc. are all dug up

there is no food without death somewhere along the chain

whether it's death of the plants when they're harvested
or death of the animals when they're slaughtered
or death of bugs, worms and critters etc that live in the ground where the food is grown


this is the planet of death
get used to it

Get used to the New World Order.
Things are about to change.

Screw u. God gave us DOMINION over the whole planet. We are the stewards and we must thin the herds for our health and theirs. Meat is what made our brains grow and made us human. We have canines for tearing MEAT! God demanded MEAT sacrifices! IDIOTS. Go eat shit if you like. Leave others alone with your lunacy.

Oh... well Karmic economy dictates someone is right now preparing a vaccine to sterilize you and thin the herd... you know for health and safety :D

If you can't commit the action of killing an animal in a hunt - karmic balance wasn't achieved in order to justify the death of the animal.

But we found away around it, factory farms, we just pay money to get our sliced and wrapped piece of steak.

There will be a ceremony wherein you will hunt and kill an animal... G-d will witness you inflicting harm on another animal.
Only after dealing with your shame and guilt, would you be karmically balanced to eat.

Yes, animals must feel pain otherwise deer wouldn't run from predators and psychopaths shocking rats in labs wouldn't have brought us the wonders of modern mind control.

Because animals suffer, factory farming is horrible. I'd prefer my meat animals live a long, happy life in the open and only be butchered once they die of natural causes, but that method would consign many people to cruel death by starvation. Conversely, the "excess" population can exist due to factory farming.

Some studies have shown remarkable awareness by plants, as well, like The Secret Life of Plants and other tomes. If one considers that plants are packed into small spaces and then murdered with their fellows watching, vegetarianism has a level of horror too. We just don't care as much because plants don't have sad eyes or expression through movement.

This consumer "circle of life," along with entropy, are excellent arguments for Gnostic thought being on to something. This universe is not ideal and was obviously either designed by a sadist or is a terrible, terrible accident.

But keep going forth and multiplying like good factory farmed animals.
