If you eat meat, would you be willing to kill an animal to continue to be able to?

If you eat meat, would you be willing to kill an animal to continue to be able to eat meat? So long as you were supplied with the correct tools, would you have the constitution to be able go to a slaughterhouse and kill a cow or go to the woods and kill a deer?

D does not kill, and would prefer to become a vegetarian to avoid killing an animal.

Well I have seen a few chickens and a lamb slaughtered and still have no qualms about eating either (I grew up in the country slaughtering animals was simply a part of many of my friends' lives) so I think I'd do it, the feather plucking/skinning would most likely be the worst part for me, the kill itself really isn't horrendous on family run farms, I can't speak for larger operations.

What the hell do you mean "supplied with the correct tools"? Why would you need to supply me with my own bare hands?

I would rather not eat animals at all.
Vegitarian is much more convenient.

I am a vegetarian, but only at heart. I eat meat, but only to please my mother and not to make a fuss for her. But when I move out with my bf, we are both going vegetarian.

They should make restaurants where you get served live animals and get to butcher them yourself on the table with a chainsaw and then cook them over a spit while guzzling mead, enjoying salty wenches and beating your fellow diners into unconsciousness with cricket bats.

I'm so gonna start a restaurant chain like that.

I could catch and gut fish, wring the necks of chickens and pluck them and chop them up, catch and kill rabbits, skin them and chop them up, and having seen a deer being field dressed and butchered I think I could handle it except for the smell.

May I be. . . Mini Vice Viking? I will grow facial hair I swear. It's only a matter of time and some hormone treatment.

You are a vegetarian but you eat meat!? Pahahahaha!

You must mean: you DO eat meat, but you don't really want to.
However, when you do move out of your parent’s basement, you will stop eating meat and be vegetarian.

But isn't urine a strictly animal product? So you better kick that habit if you want to be a real vegetarian and not a wannabe.

You would have to switch to a more vegetarian alternative to warm steamy human urine. You could try salting some lemon Cool Aid and then warm it in the microwave then plug your nose!

Pahahahaha!

Yes.

Then again, I live in the middle of deer-hunting country, so it isn't exactly an unusual thing.

Not only that, but I used to go fishing with my Dad when I was younger, and wasn't too squeamish about watching him clean and skin them. [There's no better fish than that you catch fresh! Mmmmmmm.....]

Yep.

I mean, I've never done it, but I've skinned, scaled, and removed the bones from several fish. Tasty dinner while camping.

I'd have to try it first with furry animals though.

Look who's taking the majority's side. I overestimated you Opteron_Man. But you're just weak.

I don't live in my parent's basement. I live with them as I'm still in high school.

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

That's bullshit. You hurt a defenseless animal at age 13.

Good, don't go vegan. Having something in common with you invalidates my position.

Yes I definately would. Actualy I think it would be quite a good thing actualy, because I could make sure the animal is killed as humanely as possible.
