not too sides of the same argument. if your a veggie and animals live in bad conditions the answer is to set them free not eat them. if your a meat eater the answe ri s to make the conditions better.
if we didnt eat doemstic animals they wouldnt take over th world, in exactly the same way that rats dont take over the world...

Possibly. So the conditions was a bad argument.
Just one last thing and then I'll stop cause I need to go to class. Animals wouldn't "take over the world", per se, but they would definitely become too thickly populated and start spreading disease even more than they do now - and begin ruining human creations (not a good argument, I know, but it's true - the only real reason that we still have a hunting season for deer or anything at all around here is to keep the population controlled so a) they don't get hit by cars and b) to stop them from eating up fields of crops which they *do* do; I've seen it happen).
STOP!STOP!STOP!
Uncle Heavy [sic] Posted Jan 9, 2003
no, the real reason you have a hunting season is because there are lots of gun crazed nut cases running around america with blood lust
STOP!STOP!STOP!

Some people have large families and really need the extra food. It's just when people do it when they don't need to. *mutters - people always react agressively when they feel guilty*
STOP!STOP!STOP!

Sorry Amy, I don't get this at all!
Animals would only proliferate (as they do or don't in the wild) if the local conditions allowed them to. If we suddenly stopped killing them (or tending the herds) there would be a number of consequences, among them:
1. All the milking cows would die very quickly because we'd also have to stop milking them. No you can't have milk because the dairy industry depends on keeping cows calving and then we have to kill the calves.
2. They wouldn't breed as they do in the wild because we keep so few breeding males compared with females and neutered males. So there won't be a sudden population explosion, even if the stud males can find the females in the first place!
Notwithstanding the fact that if we stopped eating them we'd have to kill them all to free up the land for the crops we'd need to eat instead. Apart from the lambkins on the otherwise useless hills - you can keep them.
STOP!STOP!STOP!
