Do we have a right to kill animals?

Answer 1

A right is not something that can be given or taken away, so the question should be do they have the right to kill animals. This question is usually answered in the affirmative in the mambo jumbo of the major religions because we all like our it of meat but other than not being as intelligent as we are side from the sheer need to survive I cant see that we have. And even then its just a mater of opinion. That depends because if you think about it they are going to die anyway I BELIEVE THAT ANIMALS ARE GODS CREATION AND PEOPLE SHOULD RESPECT GOD'S CREATION, HOWEVER GOD MADE MAN RULERS OVER ANIMALS AND MADE THEM FOR A REASON. I BELIEVE IT IS PERFECTLY FINE TO KILL AN ANIMAL FOR FOOD, OR IF THERE IS AN OVER POULATION, OR IF THE ANIMAL IS A THREAT, HOWEVER, I DO NOT BELIEVE IN KILLING FOR SPORT OR TO BE CRUEL, OR WITHOUT A GOOD REASON. There are many different ways one could answer this question, and many ways people could be offended by those answers. Basically this question cannot be answered unless you answer some more basic questions first. (This is one of those questions that raises more questions than actually deserves a short answer.) 'Are humans animals?' 'Do animals have rights?' 'Is it a basic right of all living things to continue living?' 'How do you determine what basic rights humans should have?' 'Aren't rights basically immaterial constructs or ideas that are purely human concepts and have no bearing on anything outside of human society/civilization and thusly killing animals other than humans does not fall under consideration when determining rights?' This question can be trivialized or can spark a major philosophical discussion, but in itself is fairly vague without more context.

Answer 2

Cruelty as it is generally seen is cause suffering unnecessarily to an animal. people like many other animals eat other animals and that is a simple fact of life. the treatment of the animal before being killed and the way in which it is killed can be either cruel or not cruel.

Answer

This is a very controversial subject. My opinion is that there is nothing good about killing any kind of animal. However, just like animals have the right to hunt each other for food, even if they are omnivores, people have the right to eat meat in moderation because it is important to our health.

However, if you are going to eat any animal product (whether meat, fish, eggs, or dairy), do whatever you can to ensure that the product you eat came from a company that treats the animals humanely.
NO!!
NO!!

Answer 4

Humans have no biological need to kill other animals for meat. Raising them and killing them for meat causes them to suffer. Causing animals to suffer unnecessarily is pretty much the definition of cruelty. So yes, it is cruelty to kill animals for meat.

Answer 5

Just as much right as any animal does to hunt any other animal.

Answer 6

It is right to kill animals for their meat, because other animals do the same thing to survive. plus, it tastes good and they're not as intelligent as humans. :)

Answer 7

There's no wrong in killing for food, as long as you don´t kill the animal with unnecessary cruelty.
