My opinion: pointless. Absolutely, utterly pointless.
For example, a person becomes a vegetarian. Now, they're eating all vegetables and things made of grain, etc. What harvests the vegetables/grain? Large combines. What lives in the fields where the combines grind through? Animals. The combines are running through these fields, harvesting food, and grinding, crunching, and mercilessly killing a huge number of mice, groundhogs, possums, rabbits, and anything else that might live in there.
So these animals are being, not only killed inhumanely, but left to rot, and their body goes to no useful purpose.
Yeah, I find it totally stupid. Any time some self-righteous vegetarian gets on their soap box talking about the precious animals it makes my blood boil. You aren't changing anything... They still slaughter millions of cattle a day, and that's not going to change. People make money off of that. If money is made they will spare nothing. Plus farm raised cattle are raised to be killed and eaten

That was inspirational as well educational... especially the biblical verse... I believe that if you dont eat an already dead animal, then u r wasting food... which is a greater sin than rejecting something God provided us with... for our essential needs.

Dear Vegetarians - Try making the world a better place by not eating the food that is meant for the herbivore animals
Well, either way, we were "made" to eat both plants and animals. We are part herbivore, being an omnivore, of course. We have teeth in our mouth to grind plants and teeth to tear meat. So, either way, we are taking away from the herbivore animals- just possibly not as much.
I stumbled across this community completely at random, but as a vegetarian, I thought I'd share my opinion on the question you posed, since only one side seems to be covered here

From the information i have, killing animals painfully was stopped years ago, which started when Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle. This book helped stop many brutalities in the way meat packing industries ran things. They animals are killed painlessly now.
And nobody is calling anyone else stupid... You can have your opinion and we can have ours. You want to continue on and do what you believe in... thats fine with me. But I in turn will point out the facts that I believe are idiotic. Wheather you want to believe they are cretinous or not... is entirely up to you.

Way to save the animals.
