I'm too squeamish to touch the meat that comes through my register at work.
I am such a softie that I was in tears over running over a squirrel this morning.
I eat fish/sushi, no animals other than that...
Soy "dairy". No leather or wool.
Oddly enough, I would try human meat. Out of curiosity.

I'd kill, gut and prepare a Deer if I got the chance to again.
Don't know too much about Lambs, so I don't know how well it would work.
Fuck yes to most Birds an Fish.

Is this a trick question? Of course, yes.
Although, I'm not sure the killing part is strictly necessary. Just ask Yog Sothoth.

Carrots are living creatures too. They just don't run as fast.

Urine is animal product, but not meat you stupid person. I never said anything about going vegan.

I never said a damn thing about being vegan. I just brought up the subject of piss just to screw with you. You misinterpreted what I said back there.
You Unimatrix 00 are the one who is stupid. Lighten up will you?

Well you failed epically because the basis of your joke was me consuming vegan product. In future if you're going to try and "screw with me", do something thats actually witty and clever, and maybe I'll laugh.

I have slaughtered my own meat before. Multiple times. I have no problem with it. It's quite simple, really. If a bear would kill me for a quick meal, why wouldn't I kill a bear for a quick meal.

Careful. Don't confuse slaughtering your meat with beating it.

I couldn't kill something and then eat it. No. Not even fish. I hate fish anyway.
If I was starving and there was nothing to eat I might.

And yet, they are conscious, living entities that feel pain just as you and I do.
"A fish is any aquatic vertebrate animal that is typically ectothermic (or cold-blooded), covered with scales, and equipped with two sets of paired fins and several unpaired fins. "
Wait, was that a joke I didn't get?

But More plants die for a Salad then animals for my Cheese Burger!
But back on topic, I would probably not eat meat as much. I'm not much of a killer.

Ah I see, I didn't know that was an option. Do you get a link so that you can view the pic or is it cut out entirely?

Yeah, you just get a click-able link instead. Resulting in quicker navigation, and not being forced into looking at posted image content.

And thus not being able to see the witty fish seeds. I knew I should have stuck with the "they grow in bushes next to the chicken tree" joke.

But more plants die feeding the one animal that comprises your cheeseburger than it does to make your salad.

As if to say those animals wouldn't be eating all those plants IF they weren't going to end up chopped and fried between two sesame seed buns?

Yes, as cows are intentionally bred to be huge and we've bred them to monstrous numbers, and since meat eating is expected to rise so will their populations, also putting a strain on crops. Already about 60% of the corn grown in the united states goes to feeding livestock.

We are all guilty of complicity, in one way or another and to varying degrees, in the harming and death of other creatures. Whether we are carnivore, vegan, or something in between, no matter how carefully we choose our food, somewhere back along the long chain of food production and preparation, killing took place. No matter how carefully we trod, with every step countless insects, mites, and other creatures inadvertently perish under our feet. This is just the nature of our world. It is only when we escape altogether from the round of birth and death, when we enter into the final liberation of nirvana, the Deathless, can we wash our hearts clean, once and for all, of killing and death. To steer us towards that lofty goal, the Buddha gave us very realistic advice: he didn't ask us to become vegetarian; he asked us to observe the precepts. For many of us, this is challenge enough. This is where we begin.
