That it is as bad as eating shellfish.  Both are abominations.\n\nHowever, perhaps you shouldn't use a 2,500 year old mythological book from the Bronze age to formulate your morality.

Man is the supreme predator of all time. We take more than we need and give nothing back. If we were meant to eat animal flesh we should be able to hunt, kill and feast as carnivores do.

here is an indepth breakdown of who eats what:\nVegans don't eat any products of animal origin. This includes not only meat, but also dairy products (milk, butter, cheese), eggs and even honey. Many vegans do eat onion and garlic. The strictest vegans don't wear leather, wool or silk and also avoid health and beauty products made with ingredients derived from animals -- for instance, lip balm with bees wax or skin creams with lanolin (an oil extracted from sheep's wool). Although some people who choose a vegan diet do so because they are allergic or insensitive to dairy products or eggs, most choose veganism because of ethical concerns. Most vegans have a deep commitment to ending the exploitation and mistreatment of animals. The term vegan, formed from first three and last two letters of the word veg etari an , was coined in London in 1944 by seven vegetarians who founded the Vegan Society. \n\nLacto-vegetarians/ Religion vegetarians / Lactose-Vegetarians are strict vegetarians who may consume milk and dairy products (optional) . Strictly No meat, no fishes, no eggs, no onion and no garlic. Lacto comes from the Latin word for milk.\n\nOvo-vegetarians are people who still eat eggs. Ovo from the Latin word for egg.\n\nLacto-ovo-vegetarians / Ovo-Lacto-vegetarians are those who eat both dairy products and eggs. \n\nMacrobiotics A macrobiotic diet is mainly vegetarian, but macrobiotic diets often include seafood. In this diet all other meat products are excluded, as are eggs and dairy products. They also do not eat "nightshade vegetables" (potato, pepper and eggplant), refined sugar and tropical fruits. This diet contains many foods found in Asian countries such as miso soup, root vegetables (daikon and lotus) and sea vegetables (seaweed, kelp, arame). It emphasizes eating locally grown foods that are in season. Meals consist of 50% to 60% grains, 25% locally grown produce, and the rest of the diet mainly consists of beans and soups. In lesser amounts fruits, nuts and seeds are eaten. This diet is based on the Chinese principles of yin and yang. Some people follow this diet as a philosophy of life and others follow it for health reasons. \n\nFlexitarian - a vegetarian who is flexible enough to occasionally eat meat or fish.\n\nDemi-vegetarians don't eat red meat or poultry, but they do eat fish, eggs.\n\nPescetarians / Pesco-Vegetarians / Pesce-Vegetarians eat a vegetarian diet but also consume fish. Pescetarians may avoid red meat and poultry because they do not want to support factory farming or other inhumane methods of raising animals. For many people making the transition to vegetarianism, pescetarianism is a stage along the way to an entirely meatless diet.\n\nPollo-Vegetarians eat poultry, such as chicken, turkey, and duck. \n\nMeat Restrictors avoid red meat, but may eat fish and poultry. \n\nPescaterians \nVegetarian still eats fish occasionally. \n\nVegetarian Sympathizers - Folks who do eat meat, fish, and chicken --- but perhaps much less than they once did, and perhaps more carefully (they may choose organically raised meats). They lean somewhat towards a low- or no-meat way in their thinking. Frequently Sympathizers and Pesces are on the continuum towards a lacto- or vegan way of eating.

Yes, we can obtain protein and even vitamin B12 from plant produce such as beans and soya products. The original diet was fruits and after the fall God instructed man that the herbs of the field would be meat for him to eat. It was not until after the Noah's flood that you had meat eating. Thou shalt not kill (murder) i believe also goes for the animals too which we should take care of.

Animals don't have souls, that is why we can kill them to eat them.  You don't see anyone killing your neighbor just for some prime rib(at least I hope not)

Good point!\nAs for them being veggi beforehand...LMAO! (I wonder what that fossilized *meat* was, found in a dino's stomach? T-Rex, anyone?)\nIt's not just animals either, it goes right down to the microscopic level. I could point out the fact(scary word for xtians!)that there's more prey than predators too...but I won't. \nNature is cruel to be kind.\n\n:)

I grew up in the West but since have embraced an eastern religion.  I am now a vegetarian, but it was not easy to make that change because meat-eating is such a given in my culture.  I think the main reason that modern Westerners tolerate meat-eating is that they take it for granted and do not think about it.  They grew up with it, so they just never think to question it.\n\nOriginally, meat-eating may have been necessary for people in cold climates in Europe or something.  Perhaps that is all they could find to eat to keep themselves alive in winter.  I know that even my own mother had to eat groundhog when she was a kid because that is literally all they could find to eat.\n\nBut once this becomes a part of the culture, people forget about the fact that what was once only done out of necessity is now done for pleasure.  People in my culture just love meat.  They don't like vegetables!  Eastern cuisines just know better what to do with vegetables!  They use spices and good sauces, whereas here, we basically just put butter, salt, and pepper on everything (usually out of a can at that).  So we think veggies taste bad!  \n\nAnother issue is the fact that some people purposely refuse to be vegetarians because they fear the stereotypical image that some vegetarians have.  They do not want to be seen as a "New Age liberal freak."  That's really how a lot of people see vegetarianism where I am.  \n\nThe Bible says that God put man over the animals and nature to "have dominion."  But instead of seeing this as a responsibility to care for the animals and plants, too many people see in this a justification to USE animals and plants to whatever benefit we can derive from them.  Most Christians I have talked to about this say that animals do not have souls, and that they were put here strictly for OUR purposes.  I believe that this is merely an attempt to justify their actions.  I do not think that is what the Bible originally intended.  In fact, the Bible depicts 2 times in history that are vegetarian:  the Garden of Eden, and the Messianic Era - the times where things are right and done in the proper way.

It is hard to prove and/or disprove the existence of dragons because, they are cryptozoids.  Perhaps they did once exist, and perhaps they still do (komodo dragons?...bad joke).  They might just were very highly evolved over-grown flying lizards with the abilities of breath fire, ice or acid.  The again, we cannot be sure of anything.\n\nTo me the world's cultures all share some form of beliefs in the exitence of dragons in their ancient past; thus, perhaps those beliefs were not myths...who knows?  Technically, there are two types of dragons: serpent dragons (Asian) and griffin dragons (Western).

Mainly because vegetarians make such a big stink about eating meat and not simply declining it when out in public.  Vegetarians usually make sure everyone knows that they don't eat meat as if it is suppose to be an ethically superior position.

A vegetarian, not likely. Through the design of creation of happenstance or evolution (which is a different argument, for another time) I am at a certain place in the food chain, as is the rabbit. So as a result I will allow the rabbit to eat his food, and I will in-turn eat the rabbit.

I am a Mormon, and I am not a vegetarian.\n\nAs far as if it is ALLOWED... I think that some Mormons DO choose to be vegetarians.  There really isn't anything in Mormon doctrine that says anything AGAINST being a vegetarian.  \n\nHowever, I believe that part of the reason animals were put here on this Earth, is to be food for us.  If they die, and they weren't sick, then I think it's a good thing to eat the animals, so the meat isn't needlessly wasted.

Mmmm if the veggies were not over cooked, and they were only carrots and peas, I would not have minded. \nBut Brussels sprouts and broad beans eewwwww, and if we did not eat our tea,  we would have the plate of cold food, put in front of the next morning for breakfast, if we ate it we could catch the bus, if we did not eat it we'd walk to school. \n\nI vowed I would never ever do this to my children, and I have not. I can not eat broad beans or Brussels sprouts even as an adult.
