They should have shoved the lion down her throat. In my view killing animals for reasons other than hunger (in the case of non-vegetarians) or self-defense is immoral. Frankly, the way many humans are ignoring and denying the value of life of animals, and even humans, in order to be able to kill them without having a poor conscience, has reached disturbing proportions.

Oh yes, for the record my diet consists of mostly water, vegetables, grains and legumes however it's always nice to have some meat to provide me with protein, fat and crucial B vitamins and minerals such as Iron that is hard to find in vegan food. Oh yea, don't forget the dairy with my cereal!

I mean why go outta my way to buy some bland tasting vegan crap when I can just eat meat? Lmao. There's nothing wrong with eating meat. We are omnivores and perfectly capable of digesting it. We wouldn't even exist if we didn't consume meat back in the olden days. Can you imagine some vegan 400,000 years ago scrambling around to find plant based foods when the rest of his tribe is munching on a freshly killed wolf? That idiot would die!

They replace the salt, sugar, and fat with a zillion questionable ingredients and chemicals. Next time you buy Worthington or Loma Linda Vegetarian Frankenmeat Crap in a Can, read the label.

Would you rather see animals die from over population?

That rarely happens in the wild, they keep each other in balance. Nor is it my business what animals in the wild do, I am not part of nature as such anymore, nor do I want to have blood on my hands.
Among humans there is no more evolution, except maybe in terms of resistance to bacteria or viruses. And in that respect being vegetarian actually benefits you as you avoid lots of germs that are transmitted via animals.

Obviously you have no coue what you are talking about, below are just a few of this google search:

In some cases it is possible that this pleasure can turn to dismay as one type of wildlife begins to overshadow the others, resulting in an imbalance of the species. This happens when deer populations get out of hand and begin to affect both the environment and the other animals living in the area.

The result is that today, there are several million deer, and, as McShea puts it, "the flip side has happened.
"They're hitting too many cars, there's too much gardens being eaten, the forest succession is changing," he continues. "We've got to dial that back a little bit.
Deer aren't evil, McShea is quick to emphasize, but they have no predators now and they need to be managed. States currently rely primarily on scheduled hunts, where the public is allowed to come in and take out deer.

That is not the wild. There are lots of deer because humans have hugely decimated the numbers of bears, wolves etc. In the wild there is no overpopulation of any species as that automatically leads to a surge in their enemies. And with the few species that basically don't have enemies, their numbers only grow until there is too little food for them all.

So, where do the deer live then, if not in the wild?

And that is when the over populate, and die nasty deaths from starvation, they (deer) don't say, hey, we cannot have sex because we have little food...the rut comes and guess what happens, little deer....

They live in a system that people like to call wild, but which really isn't as humans have removed key species from it and changed it in numerous ways.

Look nature is a **** inhumane system, I am not saying there is a win-win solution for all species involved. There is immense cruelty in nature all the time, I won't change that, even if I wanted to, and I am happy I don't live in nature so that I am spared the messy details. I do not want to be part of that vulgar system for obvious reasons.

Regarding deer in particular, I grew up in a place where hunters and other agencies actually distributed lots of food for them in the winter so they survive the winter. And then they claimed hunters were needed to keep the number of deer down.

SO, you don't care about animals, got it....

Why would you want to see an animal die from malnutrition or the such, when those animals prior to that be harvested, and provided to homeless shelters for food.
