Address the issue of morality of killing animals for food when there is no need, that is the only topic on this thread that needs discussing.

I don't know why you keep posting that video everywhere. It is in your OP isn't that enough for one thread?
Maybe you should define what you base your morality off of because the post I replied to you about had you equating moral and immoral with necessary and unnecessary. If you continually move the goalposts on how morality is defined you will find very few will ever agree with you on what is moral.
The moral questions stated in the video aid in keeping the topic focused on moraliy of right and wrong and not on me. No one is moving the goal posts its been a I love eat so its moral conversation from most, and that has zero to do with an intelligent discussion. Address the issue of morality of killing animals for food when there is no need, that is the only topic on this thread that needs discussing. List some reasons and draw them from the classical principals based on morality in your answers if you can.
Im listening. . . .

To the biblically religious amongst us, did you know God directed people to eat vegan? Where in the bible? It's on the first page! The first thing God said to man! Ole Genesis 1:29, which the New World Order should read and disseminate daily.

Address the issue of the nature of morality of killing animals for food. Is it immoral for an omnivore or a carnivore to eat meat?
Yes...or...no.
Your whole position rotates around this. Is it immoral for any omnivorous or carnivorous animal to eat meat? Without discussing this, you HAVE no position, no argument.
That seems to be what agitates people: being told that their behavior is immoral.
That said....if we can improve the quality of life for any creature, be they food or not, I am all for it

In some cultures eating dogs is encouraged (giving the term 'hot dog' another twist on the Barbie), and I wonder how the posters here who eat meat and also own and love dogs would feel if one of their neighbors took a liking to Fido and barbecued her. What they would think about that is what some vegans and vegetarians think about meat in general. So yes, morality is in the eye of the beholder. Viewpoints are individual and as varied as there are individuals. And by individual, I also mean Bessie the cow and Shirley the gyro, ah, I mean, sheep.
