Not to mention that the majority of grain grown for livestock is tough as rocks, coarse, and so low-grade that it's only fit for animal consumption in the first place. Spare me the "you could feed 500 people with the grain used to feed one cow" line of shit; it's not the same grain. Then there are the people who jump on the bandwagon with "you could plant billions of potatoes on the land used for cows"--good point, except for the fact that not every plot of land is equally fertile; you think farmers always have a choice on what they do with their land? Also, many vegetarians don't know (or care to acknowledge) that in many parts of the United States they have "control hunts" in which hunting permits are passed out whenever there is a pest problem (the pest here is deer, elk and antelope) that threatens wheat, soy, vegetable and other crops; this happens several times per year. Then some of you throw out claims that "we are trying to limit the suffering." How about you limit MY suffering and shut the hell up about your stupid diet for a change; nobody cares. Even if the number of animals that die in combine deaths every year isn't in the millions, even if it's just one, are you suggesting that the life of one baby rabbit isn't worth saving? Are you placing a value on life? Enjoy your tofu, murderers."
Yocass, as much as I like Maddox you have to admit he talks shit alot of the time. His arguments are always weak. Funny, but weak.

The fact is that by eating meat I would be literally contributing to the intentional slaughter of animals. I don't want to have that on my conscience. I don't want to put a piece of slimy, greasy steak in my mouth knowing the shit that that animal went through to get it on my plate.

Yes, animals die as a result of tractors and plows as such. But it's not intentional. And yes, that does make a difference.

Think about this; if intent doesn't matter than the American armed forces that you are so proud of are guilty of murder every time they accidently murder a civilian. It doesn't matter if they tried to prevent civilian deaths, because according to you, intent doesn't matter.
