Topic: ETHICS
Join me on SOLA. The new generation social network that pays for your content.
IT IS ETHICAL
For example you could say that if you kill a cow you are depriving it of it's existence, which could have being a good existence, so why deprive it of that because you want to eat some meat when there are other options.
Me neither💁
I believe that maybe feeding them freely and killing them in a manner they do not suffer from pain could be more or less ethical, the problem I see it's when animals are suffering, so you are giving life to an animal just to suffer. Thanks for joining the contest!
Lol i understand you, thanks for your contribution
@dayjee, your first paragraph mention why kill a cow in the name of eating meat when there are option
Please is there any option that doesn't involve killing animals.
That was an instance.
It is quit ethical and right to raise animals for humans consumptions i will list and explain some of the points below but first of all i will like you to know am a graduate of agriculture from a reputable University in Nigeria FUTMINNA.
Hunting can no longer meets the protein demand of man.
From the beginning man has being feeding on animal but majorly by hunting this animals gradually the animals are going into extinction and also improving in techniques to escape man thus the introduction of what is called livestock farming.
Man no longer need to hunt before he can put meat on his table all he needs do is to buy from a seller. Even the animals in the wilds now have more freedom from the constant attack by man. Now man can rear goat, cattle,birds ,pigs, fish and many other terrestrial and aquatic animals without disturbing the peace of the animals in the wilds.
The above comment shows the unquestionable high demand of protein which can only be met by rearing of animals for mans consumption.
Is it ethical ?
In the beginning when God created man he said
I quit agree that it is ethical and lawful to rear animal for human consumption.
its all good.
Thanks brother
Thanks brother
Nice one bro.
Thanks dear
I support this
Thanks love
It is fine to do that.
@thepassenger thats two very political questions in a row... what happen to the fun questions?
haha there will be time for all kind of questions in this game ;) sometimes more political, sometimes more fun!
Oh I know just poking fun. I enjoy the questions each moring.
I used to believe it was wrong, then I realized we would make a bigger damage for the earth if we only feed with plants as monocoltures destroy whole ecosystems. So for a pig that you're not killing you're probably going to wipe out colonies of ants, spiders, nets of mushrooms and so on.
At the moment I don't think there is a way for us to feed without killing something (but, as always, I may be wrong. And hopefully I am )
I also believe there is no universal right or wrong, that's up to anyone of us, so, you know, you asked a very complicated question :D
I can't upvote right now as I'm powering up and it makes no sense to give you a 0 worth upvote. I'll try to remember it and do it later.
Aside from the contest it's a nice topic, thank you
I think the more we walk towards sustainability the better we will do. Right now the planet can't handle so much meat production due to lack of water and deforestation. I do eat meat from time to time as well, but I try only to eat certified meat which has been produced thinking in a sustainable manner. Thanks for joining the daily question!
Would it be horrible from me to suggest the idea that we are maybe too many? :D
Usually people don't like me saying this because everyone loves kids.
But I do think it's an issue
I think she already won the prize ... just adding one thing, only unethical beings on this earth trying to destroy this wonderful planet are human.
We are hypocrites ... if something living could not speak or say something for itself, then we think killing it is alright and if you see some senses, emotions in an animal than its bad.
You not what is ethically right, eating the minimal and not wasting lots of food!
I agree with you.
It's also stupid because we're creating an horrible environment for us too

To find out more about SmartCash, please visit https://smartcash.cc.The fact is that, humans consider anything not human as fair game. Technically, eating meet is not necessary for survival, as we can get most of the nutrients in it from plants. In addition, due to the nature of food chain, plants contain more energy than animals as their energy source is from the sun. Aflnimals then eat these plants, and in any conversion of energy there is always a decrease in the amount of useful energy converted. This energy might have gone through different conversions as canivores feed in herbivores and other canivores feed in carnivores over time, that when it eventually gets to man, the energy present in the meat will be drastically lower than the one originally in plant.
If this is the case, this means that man is killing animals for meat solely because he can, we it has been explained plants contain far more benefits than animals, nutrition wise.
So if it is the case that man rears animals just because he likes the taste, at the detriment to that animal's life and the ecosystem at large, I believe it is unethical.

Thank you @thepassenger for giving Steemians a chance to win some SBD.
Its Right! By nature,Animals are made to be eaten. They are a source of protein,for example,Cow produces milk which is meant to be drunk. They also constitute human daily nutrition requirements.
By nature we always hunted, but by nature we did not have animal farms. The problem I see is how I mentioned before, it's the way we do it, which is not sustainable and in the end it will probably kill us all due to climatic changes and deforestation. thanks for joining!
Aha. You asked a two part question and here is my two part answer.
Part 1: Is it ethically wrong or right for humans to raise animals so that we can eat them? For as long as we have recorded history, man has raised animals as livestock. This is obviously because it is much more efficient that having to catch your food every time you are hungry. It also allowed humans to raise animals specifically as food which some might argue allowed wild animals of that same species to continue on and thrive. Or did it? Over the millennia, domesticated versions of animals like chickens, cows, sheep and several other farm animals were all that were left. Man was more than likely responsible for this. Is it ethical?
Part 2: Is it ethically wrong or right for humans to kill animals so that we can eat them? Man more than likely started eating animals because he found that they were the most satisfying type of food available. Animal flesh is nutritionally the most complete food for humans and provides the densest set of important nutrients as well. For those humans who moved around a lot or who lived in climates that were harsh at least part of the year, it was probably the only choice available if they wanted to survive.
However today, with our food technology advances, the majority of the people on the planet have a choice about how they get their nutrition and although meat remains the most efficient choice, plants can be substituted in most cases effectively, bring us to your question about ethics.
Ethics are moral principals and morals are based on belief systems. If you are a Christian you probably believe that God says it is ok to eat some animals. Same with Jews and Muslims. If you have a different set of beliefs, you may feel differently. In the end, even though people will not often look at it this way, it will be more of a matter of your view of life than any other singular thing. If you believe it is ok to raise and kill animals so that humans can eat them, you simply will. If not, you won't. So wrong or right will be subjective.
Sorry for the long post to get to an unsatisfying answer. However what we should also look at in examining this question is how interesting it is that most humans will eat some animals and never accept eating others that have perfectly good meat. We call these animals pets. If you eat your pets you are not only morally wrong, you need some serious help my friends. Thanks and hoped you enjoyed the answer.
I do agree, it's a complicated question and lots of different angles to look at. I guess that now that we have technology and many other things, we should start thinking on stopping this way of feeding the world, otherwise it will end up killing all animals, including humans. That's a really nice and elaborated reply, thanks for your time!
My pleasure and I agree with you. We have to find better ways because we are being very cruel to animals and Mother Nature has a way of seeking balance. We have the technology now to create meat in other ways but it will take people expanding their idea of food. I am not sure they are quite ready for that. Not yet anyway. Thanks for your kind answer as well.
In my opinion, it is right for humans to raise and to kill animals, but there are specific animals that human are allowed to eat such as animals raised in poultry farms . In other hand, it is wrong to kill animals that turned to be our partners or bestfriend such as dogs and cats, birds and so many other animals. This is why the goverment has a law for prohibiting the killings of animals especially to those who are endangered. Humans are the greatest being created by God but not all things in this world humans can do or have.
have a nice day ahead
Humans might be the greatest thing created so we should act accordingly. I believe that we have gone to far with the farms and the way we raise animals and kill them because animals were also created by god (if you believe in it of course) and they also have rights. We have decided that a cat or a dog has more right to live than a cow or a pig, and we should start wondering why and not blindly turn around and say it's the most normal thing. If we are not able to provide sustainable world, we will all pay the consequences! thanks for your time and answer!
Ethically I think it is very wrong to raise then kill animals for others to eat them! But like the saying goes; one man's meat as another man poison! People who do the raising and slaughtering of animals purely do it for economic reason; survival! They are not interested in building bond or eternal relationship with these animals so the emotional attachment is never there for most and if its there on rare occasions their quest to survive and just move on overrides their emotional state! But after it all said and done, that's life! It will surely happens to us all; its like a cycle! I don't know what law can be written to forbids the raising and killing of animals for consumption except if we are all vegetarians and what about the life cycle of all these plants we raise then cultivated to eat as vegetarians? That right there is the twist of life my friend! Lol!
Well, probably we all should turn into another economic survival manners probably, in many terms. A lot of meat produced is never eaten and as I said before (and I do eat meat sometimes as well) is that we all should focus on create a more sustainable way of feeding the world. Is not possible that people has problem due to overweight in some countries and in others people are starving. Thanks for your reply!
Here is my entry
Am going to answer with the wrong and right aspect
Is wrong to raise an animal and kill it my reasons are
1.are the process of raising the animal, there is a probablty of the animal giving birth,then imagen yourself in their shoes, growing up without no mother or father, that awful.
Now my right
well is right to kill animals reasons
1,animals have some nutritional value,it add to the human system
2.if all the human beings depand only on plant,we are going to destroy the ecosystem
We are already destroying the ecosystem when we cut down forest to make fields for cows and we have also to feed those cows, so we cut ore forest to plant the plants for them. That's the main problem I see, there are too many animals just being feed to be eaten, when with a lot less it would be fine as well. Thanks for your time!
I am totally disagree with this because of our needs why you kill animals.They also have their freedom.
Agree! thanks!
