Description
I wanted to post some of my animal pics, the others will be posted soon. this is an old one that I colored. Hope you like it ^^listen to this [link]
I go by a farm on my way to school and every year I see the lil cuties get shipped off onto a butcher trailer. i don't know how peeps can eat calves. I'm vegetarian but it's a personal choice and if someone does eat cows so be it.
Edit:
I still occasionally get people who feel like they have to argue with me because I'm vegetarian. They seem to think that they need to convince me that I'm wrong. I don't get it, because it's my personal choice. It's not hurting anyone and I don't expect others to do the same. I'm not chideing peeps who are! YOU DO WHAT YOU WANT AND I WILL DO WHAT I WANT! kay :

I don't what fool created veal in the first place, which might as well be bad for your diet. But I love how you drew this adorable calf and his innocence shown when he sees a butterfly. And no you're not wrong for being vegetarian, because as you said, it is a personal choice. I'll never understand how someone can't accept that cows are not money making machines and deserve as much respect as all creatures in this world.

Β mhm, I have a had time understanding it too. Just the other day I saw another little Jersey calf that reminded me of the one that inspired this picture. I just don't know how people can swallow it down :/

It's terrible what they do to those poor calves who have no choice, and not even think about how the mother cows feel. Their only response is that BUSINESS IN BUSINESS excuse for what they do.

Β The mother cows by my parents place have a wailing cry when all the calves are taken up. The farmers do provide them with a better life as they do get to live their short lives in a field vs. cubicle in a barn. Still the noise for the first few weeks after they are harvested is wrenching. You can tell the mothers are in psychological pain.

Field or no field, it still feels wrong to take the calves away like that, just for some unimportant food supply, not to mention unhealthy.

I think you should listen to "food for though" a podcast by colleen patrick goudrow (I know I misspell, sorry). She's a vegan, but talking to vegetarians as well. She helps. She has a lot of GREAT things to say for vegetarians, explaining why people act as they do, and she has given me a lot of support and hope. I'm no longer ashamed of telling people that I'm a vegetarian.
Don't be ashamed of helping animals, don't excuse it, don't be angry either, just be true to your ethics!

Aww, this may very wel be the cutest cow EVER! I too am a vegetarian by personal choice and people just LOVE to argue their point even though I have no problem with them eating meat. I don't eat animals because I personally don't want to eat another living being but some people just can't seem accept that... Anywho, great drawing, I love it to bits!

THANK YOU! I know! Why is it so hard to accept that I don't want to eat anything with a beating heart D: I don't look down on nonveggytars so why do peeps try to convert me to be a canivor? ugh!

I know... he was really cute. He was all jumps last year. I hope they enjoyed tha meal... alot! :/ I bet if peeps had to raise the animals they ate then they would have a harder time eating them.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yah. They probably would have a harder time eating animals if they had to raise them.

no the owners didn't, but they have a cattle farm and sell the calves for meat. The calves have a nicer life than most though :/
π: 0 β©: 1
Thats sad. I would never be able to do that. At least the calves get a better life though...

what, you don't think vegetables are cute? everything's cute that's alive when it's young. i bet you chow down on bean sprouts and baby carrots all day long. people only feel bad about eating shit that can scream and run away because they identify. lol i'm sorry but it was in the scripto.
i really love this picture. and it's wonderful that the animals you see are able to run around and play and live good lives in pasture. the more people who get around to making that a global reality and lowering the consumption of beef products, and the more people who learn to respect what they eat-- everything they eat-- the better the world gets.

lol no I don't really think veggies are cute XP lol they would be cute to me if they had big eyes... however i doubt I could eat then either XD
Thanks ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
see? you have eyes, they have eyes, being alive isn't the point: it's all about identity. it's a strange human thing, animals don't have it. but they don't have a lot of things that we could also do without.
in all honesty, if you're one less order for a McDonald's cheeseburger on this planet, you're all right by me. just stop chiding people about meat, you and all the other veggies; it's not that you eat it, but how much and why that determines the wrongness.

If you're talking about my comment to fishbone were real life friends and we were just teaseing eachother...

ohnono! i was just going by the descripto. if i were gonna be rude enough to take something you said in the thread in whatever context i like i'd be rude enough to just butt into the convo instead of making my own comment.
beef is healthy for you. americans just eat too much and cook the nutrients out of you. most of what they eat is ground (which is horrible for you) or grilled (where most people like the meat more done and blackened on the edges.) the health issues with beef are strictly modern.
and it's not cruel to kill something to eat it, which is where my vegetable point comes in. well, unless you go out of your way to kill an animal cruelly, which unfortunately happens and usually just for pleasure and not for food at all. :/
i find it so arrogant that human beings in the industrialized world refuse to eat animals A) while people are starving and 2) when after their own death they will try their very hardest to avoid being eaten by other organisms.
but, it's a little arrogant also for me to come through and flap my jaw about my dietary ideology. not that it stopped me, but, i'm sorry for any offense.
π: 0 β©: 1
you can get the same health benifits from a plants with out all the fat. people prolly wouldn't want to eat it if it wasn't the way it's prepared now :/
I was talking about the way most animals are killed for meat is cruel and the way of life they are usually given. They aren't plants that can be put in a pot; they need freedom to roam and a more humane way of death when the time comes.
It is more beneficial in a industrial world for peeps to eat plants than to feed the plants to the cows. A statistic I once read said that if everyone became vegetarian then there wouldn't be starvation; the food could be then used to feed humans instead of to fatten cows.

i'm sorry but your view on the nutritive value meat is fearful, naive, and uninformed. and your attitude toward plants as things and less alive than animals and people as exempted from nature is typical.
you didn't take into account what i said at all, just forcefed me the same boiled-down pamphlet fare that has been converting teens into bitter vegans for thirty years.
you don't need to cut meat out of the equation to solve the world's problems, you need to educate people and encourage responsible dietary habits-- that will reduce the livestock population to healthy levels. i hope you realize that one day.

The thing about plants is that they don't have thoughts nor are they able to feel pain. Meat is more fatting than plants. You don't find oil naturally on plants.
Plants are important too; I'm not saying they aren't. I think it's importnat to recyle too.
I'm not vegan and I'm not bitter about what I eat.
I don't really care if peeps eat meat or not. I think a reduction in the consuption of meat would do wonders, I'm not saying that it has to be taken out of the diet. That's just what I do because I believe that there are higher risks with meat vs. beans and I don't life the idea of killing something that could be pets.

The thing about plants is that they don't have thoughts nor are they able to feel pain. that is garbage, and extremely arrogant to say.
Meat is more fatting than plants. You don't find oil naturally on plants.
granted the last statement has only recently been disproved, but this statement is just plain ignorant. plants are full of oil (what is a nut?) and meat will only put fat on you if you eat it several times a week and refuse to exercise.
other than that, it now appears that we are in agreement. reducing consumption is the key to better health for people and the planet. i'm sorry i got a little combative, it just drives me nuts to see people walking around in some kind of complacent fog thinking something perfectly natural-- if corrupted by modern technology-- is wrong. :/
anyhow. have a good day.

when I say plants I ment veggies and fruit. Fat from nuts and avacodoes are a healthy fat.
You too.

not only do you somehow believe plants are not alive enough to argue, but now you're dicing them up into groups to seerve your argument??
i have barked up the wrong tree for a debate, i'm sorry.
π: 0 β©: 0
actually vegetable oil is a very common thing.. and its not a matter of how fattening a good is but the quantity in which it is eaten.
point being said neither of you are incorrect in your points. its all a matter of which you choose to live your lifestyle in which its reduced consumption or dietary restrictions.

Did you know when you reply it only replies to one person? Which is fine. I was just asking what you thought.
π: 0 β©: 1
i dont really care what that other person has to say anyway

I'm not chiding people. Eating cows is up to the person. The reason I don't eat it is for health reasons and the cruelty of it.

lol that's kind of odd but thanks XD
