How Hungry Are You?
If your meat did not come prepackaged in clean, shiny plastic wrap and you had to actually kill the animals yourself, would you still eat meat?
In my opinion, it is easy to be blind to the horrors that animals raised for food endure when you buy your meat pre-packaged at the grocery store. The truth is that most animals raised for food do not live in wide open pastures. They are born, raised and killed in factories. It makes me wonder if people actually had to face the animals before their death if they would still have such an appetite for meat.
Would you eat meat if you had to kill the animals yourself?
Fetching blurbs now... please stand byNo

I'm a meat eater but I can't even eat meat if I have to prepare it out of the pre-packed tray!

I was raised by a father that hunted, fished and raised chicken & rabbits. He killed them humanely. I have never had the desire to kill an animal. But if I had to eat and had no choice, I probably would. Perhaps my answer is a Maybe. I understand people choosing to be vegetarian and/or wanting rights for animals. I choose to eat meat. I do not eat veal after seeing the way the calves are treated. And try to buy free range organic when possible. But this is not a new concept, the scriptures speak about eating meat and how it should be slaughtered. It even speaks about not cooking an animal in its own mothers milk, which goes against nature. I say for eating meat and anything else. Do it in moderation and with gratefulness.

Of course I would, have done before, would do again. I dont see what the issue is, if you are deliberately remaining ignorant of where meat comes from it is your call. Killing and eating animals (rather than killing for the hell of it) is perfectly natural, has been going on for millenia, not just people doing it BTW. Why is this an issue with all the other crap in society these days? There are plenty of other far more important high horses to jump on, this one is pretty minor.

My mom was raised on a farm and one of her chores was to kill and pluck the chickens. But they took good care of their animals and when it was time, they killed them humanely. If I had to do it to feed my family I would. I don't eat much meat, it has mostly lost its appeal for me, but if I do, I buy free range. Posted August 02, 2008 |

I think this is a very interesting question and I think for the majority surely the answer is no. Perhaps if people realized exactly how meat is processed and animals are treated they may think twice about eating it - and putting pressure on the food industry to change. I have been a vegetarian since I was 7 years old so for me the answer is definitely no! Posted July 13, 2008 |

I have killed animals for food (rabbits, chickens, fish, sheep and a pig) and no issues with it. I would rather kill my own meat than eat the force fed mass produced, bland tasteless rubbish that ends up in supermarkets. If you look after your livestock, let them live a normal andnatural life followed by a quick painless death, it is far better for the animal than a life in a feedlot or other intensive farming situation.

Great question and it made me smile because I can't even eat any meat that I've had to handle prior to it being cooked.
Eating meat is a personal choice, in our home - 2 of my children eat meat and fish and the other 1 only eats chicken, tinned tuna or battered cod. He doesn't like the texture of most meat and dislikes the taste of most fish. It can be very difficult to feed a family of 5 with such a variety of tastes.

There are several reasons for people to become vegetarians. For me it has to do with the spiritual effects of eating meat as well as the impact of eating animals on animals and the environment in general.
