i am not going to be a vegatarian

It seems to be a growing trend becoming a vegetarian many celebrities seem not only become vegetarians but also becomes ambassadors for PETA all trying to apart from others thing make us all vegetarians

However i don't think i will ever be convinced to stop eating meat. One argument for vegetarianism is for health reasons I'm no dietitian or any sort of diet expert but I'm fairly healthy because of my mixed diet while it possible to substitute meat with a vegetarian alternative not many of them have suited my taste

Another argument is that a lot of famous people are vegetarians i think its wrong to to do something because someone else does it fall down to the whole if Mr x jumped off a cliff would you

I think the most used argument is the cruelty suffered by animals in meat production not just at the slaughter houses but on farms as well. While this is true apart from the farming party animals are slaughter in the wild often in what people would call cruel examples a African lion kills by cutting off it preys air supply chocking it to death hyenas are known to eat there prey while still alive. Have you ever watch documentary on sea turtle egg hatching often they hatch ling will be eating not only by seagulls but small crabs and other birds. Killer whales hunt seal by crushing and drowning them. While humans have evolved to the point where we could live without eating meat will other animals do the same could you convince a lion not to eat a zebra and instead eat tofu. Although comparatively out methods of meat production has become commercialised and is often cruel is it really different to how animals hunt in the wild personally i see little difference and i imagine people will argue that point but the main reason i will not become a vegetarian is i like meat too much

By the way i don't really need to see any PETA propaganda videos showing the cruel acts used in animal slaughter and farming i have seen similar videos while they were cruel it hasn't put me off meat
