Guest guest Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 Ok, class is over. My other wondering was " what about carnivorous animals? They all exist in harmony with their environment, and without them, today's ecosystem could not exist. " However, I understand that human anatomy and physiology is more suited to plant ingestion than meat. Ah well, just wondering. . . . .

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 One observation is that carnivorous animals exist in small quanities. The world could never be overrun with them or there would not be enough food lower on the food chain. There are always larger quanities of plant-eaters. Thus, an observation one could make is that there are just TOO MANY people on earth today for us all to be meat-eaters. , " Kevin Smith " <thatballguy> wrote: > Ok, class is over.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 Kevin, Hi ;=) You're newish and I'm oldish but I'm also (or therefore) confused. Are you arguing for or against vegetarianism here? As you say yourself, 'Ah well, just wondering. . . .'. Pat > > Ok, class is over. My other wondering was " what about carnivorous > animals?

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 Excellent point, Sheryl. Now, if we could strip down the meat eaters, and make them learn to stalk, run, and kill their meat-food with their own bare fang and claws, we'd have a lot fewer meateaters and fewer tortured animals forced to exist in factory farms! ~ feral ~ Always do right.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 Good question! Kind of has me wondering that as well. ~ feral ~ :::needs more coffee, and fast::: Another good reason to become a vegetarian: you cannot safely fry bacon in the nude. ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~~~~~~~> , Sant & Brown <santbrown@l...> wrote: > Kevin, Hi ;=) You're newish and I'm oldish but I'm also (or therefore) > confused.
