I love animals too. I love dogs, I have 3 of them and they are awesome. But livestock animals are best suited for making food. We are the master species of this planet. What can an animal really achieve through life? They are content grazing around in a field their entire lives and eating grass. They aren't smart. I feel that as the master race, we should use animals to better ourselves, whether it be through eating them or even just the financial aspect that it brings.

How do you know those animals are content grazing around in a field?
Don't you think that if they had something to do OTHER than grazing around in a field eating grass, that they would want to do it?
I'm the last vegetarian in the world to preach about why other people should be vegetarians, and that's not what I'm doing here. I simply think your argument is ignorant. We're not the "master race," we just are able to use the technology we've made and the languages we've constructed. I'm sure animals discover things all of the time, things we would never in the world be able to understand.
So what does the "master race" do? Over feed and over produce animals to weights they aren't supposed to be, keep them in horribly unhealthy living situations, and then kill them. They never had a name.

If I'm not mistaken, pigs are smarter than your three dogs. So how come your dogs get to run around with not a care in the world while pigs have to suffer?

I've been a meat eater before, meat tastes good, i get it. I miss it. But I don't eat it because of the ways animals are treated.
But there are SO many meat-eaters who understand my point of view as I understand theirs. Actually, I just read your reply to Erica to my three friends, who all eat meat, and they think you sound quite ignorant as well.
