I know this is a little late but mind if I jump in?
A lot of Vegetarians are such because they believe it is cruel to kill animals. But I ask, why? I feel it is cruel because it is unecessary death. That animal didn't have to be killed for you to eat.
They would not have been born in the first place, if we had not brought them to life to eat
Most lives in factory farms aren't worth living to me.
• We do it for food
you can eat other food.
• Other animals, kill animals, and we do not find that cruel. A tiger hunts down his dinner, and we call it the circle of life. How different are we? In fact, it could be said we are even better, because we raise them to be killed, and do not take them from families and such as wild animals do. We are, simply, animals killing animals for food.
The difference to me is that the tiger kills to survive, we don't need to humans can live without eating other animals and are still healthy.
• The death is quick, instantaneous.
Not always. Have you watched meet your meat?
I hope this has been helpful and respectful. I'm glad that you have come here and posted a reasonable polite debate.

I'm very glad that we can both have a nice, civil conversation about this. • They would not have been born in the first place, if we had not brought them to life to eat -Have you ever seen the movie 'My Sister's Keeper'? Animals are like the younger sister: brought on this earth just to die for us to use up for our own selfish purposes. I don't think anyone wants to live a life of torture and pain just to die pointlessly. • We do it for food -People can live perfectly fine without meat. People do not need it to live. If we needed it to live, there's be a lot less vegetarians out there. • Other animals, kill animals, and we do not find that cruel. A tiger hunts down his dinner, and we call it the circle of life. How different are we? In fact, it could be said we are even better, because we raise them to be killed, and do not take them from families and such as wild animals do. We are, simply, animals killing animals for food. -No matter what, we kill them when we don't need to. For those animals in the wild, if they don't eat them, they will die, and that is the circle of life. We are smarter than that. We should be telling people that this is all pointless, but that would result in a lot of lost jobs and since the world revolves around money, most people just choose to not care. • The death is quick, instantaneous. -I could shoot someone in the head, and let them die quickly, or slowly slaughter them. Either wa, I killed them and it's wrong. Most places, however, don't follow this quick and painless technique. When I say most, I mean just about all. Well, I hope I helped.
