Way to go, Alissa. I love metal and I love you for speaking out and being as intelligent as you are. If only more people learned the truth as you have.
Vegans seem to forget that when harvesting crops many of rodents and shrews and the like are killed. I agree factory farming is bad. I think hunting your own food is the most ethical for meat eaters.
1. Having body parts that are simply capable of doing something does not mean that we should do it. To use an analogy, imagine if a man sexually assaulted someone, and then to justify his actions, pointed at his penis. Yes, humans can digest animal products, but why does that mean we should? Vegans are living proof that humans can live long, healthy lives without eating any animal products whatsoever, and they have the same biological makeup (teeth, etc.) of any non-vegan person, thus it is unnecessary to harm animals when there are alternatives. With regards to the teeth, it turns out that our teeth are in no way carnivorous/omnivorous anyway. Humans have flat, blunt teeth, with a jaw capable of moving side to side, just like any herbivore. With regards specifically to our 2 pointy little teeth, these are commonplace in various species of herbivores, such as fruit bats, rhinos, hippos, gorillas, and musk deer (aka the sabre tooth deer), all of which have far larger, sharper canines than our 2 pathetic little apple-crunchers that are completely incapable of even tearing through a pillow, let alone someone's flesh and bone. If humans even had a single omnivorous instinct, the animal rights movement wouldn't even exist because we'd be too busy drooling over slaughterhouse footage to even care. Rather, when we see slaughter footage, we are repulsed by it. A true omnivore or carnivore would salivate or get hungry. See Milton R MIlls MD's graph here eerainuh.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/herbivores.jpg from his paper, 'The Comparative Anatomy of Eating' and decide for yourself how closely humans resemble bears, pigs, foxes, and other omnivores. 2. While it is of course true that animals do eat other animals all the time in nature, basing our own ethics, as humans, on the actions of animals, can lead us to all sorts of problems. If we can justify something solely on the basis that animals do it, then we can justify the following: urinating in people's front gardens (dogs do it); sexually penetrating females without their consent (lions do it); smothering our babies to death (lions also do it); vomiting on people's food (flies do it); and so on. People only seem to be interested in justifying human behaviour on one thing that animals do, and that's eating animals.
so after people give up eating meat what is ur plan to avoid livestock animals from over populating ????? no one will quit eating meat not after million years .
Those animals are in such high numbers because they are mass bred by the meat, dairy and egg industries. Change is slow and most of those animals do not live that long, so if they just stop being forced bred then their numbers will decline graudally. There already are people quitting animal products and veganism is growing.
@Alantino Do you know how much resources we waste in burning it in a hearth? There are over 70 billion mouths in the world and we need wood, farmlands, and tress will be cut down.
Death in my metal, not in my meal. 🙏🏻🤘🏻

Normal is that humans are omnivores with our teeth. Do vegans think carnivores like lions should also be vegan?

you people need to think before you open your mouths.
Nothing wrong with eating meat at all
Do you realize how ridiculous you sound there are a lot of things wrong with eating meat and other animal products.
