Is Vegetarianism logically inconsistent?

I am a vegan, for a very simple reason.

1. Animals are not property and we have no right to subordinate and dominate for our own ends.

Therefore, I refuse to eat eggs and dairy since the latter involves life long enslavement and the former involves killing every male chick (approx half of all chicks).

Therefore I dont see how anyone can be a vegetarian for ethical reasons.

I'm interested to see how all your vegetarians out there view it, why are you a vegetarian?

Thanks

Why not accept that people have their own reasons for their own choices, no matter how illogical and inconsistent they may be, and that trying to impose your own moral and ethical standards on other people is just irritating?

P.S. For what it's worth, I believe I have as much right to eat steak as I do to breath air.
 
Guess who else was a vegetarian?

Yeah.

If we all became vegans overnight there would be a lot of extinctions suddenly. Bye bye cows, pigs, sheep etc.

I'll stick to eating what my teeth (and gazillions of years of evolution) tell me.

Edit: I admire people with good principle, I really do, but I bet your principles when it comes to your diet aren't mirrored elsewhere in your life.

actually vegetarianism is the more logical choice, it's far more efficient than eating meat and cheaper/easier than being vegan.

but a) meat is so very very tasty. B) you need less effort to ensure a healthy/balanced diet as an omnivore.


on ethical reasons though i would point you to this


comedy but a very good point.

Yep people with pets sicken me the evil ********s


Also read up on jainism

compared to them you're "veganness" is rather pathetic.

After all you kill plants to survive, why do you have the right to end their lives?

Why can animals eat mean but so many people whinge about humans eating meat?

I can understand (though not necessarily agree with) those who whine about the way some meat and animal products are produced for mass consumption and thus refuse to eat those products as a result, but not those who just think we shouldn't eat them because it's not 'right' to eat animals.
 
The answer to OP is ignorance. However cows love getting milked, they have a good life as a dairy cow.
 
I'm a vegetarian because I don't feel the need to eat meat as I don't particularly enjoy it and never really have and of course I don't think it's fair for them to be killed for us to eat because I love animals. Since I stopped eating it I've gone completely off it and hate the smell/look of it. Everything I cook is from scratch and I know where it all comes from, including dairy products, eggs etc.

I'd like to add that I have no problem cooking/buying meat products for others and have done on many occasions, as long as it's 'proper' meat. Others shouldn't need to miss out because of my decisions.

Vegans are usually very weird people, the smelly hippy type that lives in Brighton and survives on a diet of nuts and odd 'dairy' products. I personally don't think it's very healthy at all and it must be hell eating out.

Anyway, I can't see this thread lasting very long.
