Depends on the type of Hindu actually. Some Hindus are fully vegetarians, some abstain from eating beef, and others are omnivores.

[–]YashinNashi 7 points8 points9 points 7 months ago
No, if you try to justify killing animals and not humans or some animals and not other you quickly realize you're making arbitrary distinctions. Personally I still eat bacon, beef, chicken, and fish because I've been conditioned since birth to think of it as food. There's no defensible reason to think those animals are food but that my cat should be off limits.
[–]sirblastoise 5 points6 points7 points 7 months ago
This. It's nice to see that some people don't go apeshit on everyone that isn't exactly like them, wish Christians and atheists alike would be more like you.
[–]YashinNashi 3 points4 points5 points 7 months ago*
Thank you very much. That is a very nice thing to say.
[–]BulletBilll 4 points5 points6 points 7 months ago
Though I still eat meat I think the same way. I guess I started thinking about it when I heard people outraged by people in certain asian countries eating animals that we see more as companions than food. Though I wouldn't want to eat those kinds of meats I can understand that they have been brought up differently and it has also helped me understand how certain vegetarians think, they feel the same way with beef as they do with say dog meat and it's true that it's odd they this distinction was made though for western cultures it has just been that way for centuries. We raised dogs for the hunt and cats to chase off mice whereas cows, pigs and chickens were raised for their meat.
[–]ScubaPlays 1 point2 points3 points 7 months ago*
This is true, in fact cows have been specifically breed to be dumb and delicious.

[–]YashinNashi 1 point2 points3 points 7 months ago
Exactly. I try to avoid beef and pork now, mostly for health reasons, but also because I've drawn an arbitrary line at mammals. They have a more developed part of the brain associated with emotion, so they have the potential to "suffer" more. So I use that as my criteria for any moral issue. But I really don't feel bad about eating steak, burgers, or bacon. Even though I know I could have a cow or pig for a pet and be fond of it.
[–]gooie 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
Yep. You're right. There are documented cases of pigs being trained better than dogs, so saying that pigs are okay to eat because they are dumber is not true.
[–]goodwolf 1 point2 points3 points 7 months ago
Why is the cat off limits?
If you talk to farm people you'll find kids making friends with lambs and calfs that will inevitably be eaten.
[–]YashinNashi 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
Like I said, it's just how I've been conditioned. I know it's arbitrary. It would make me feel bad to eat the cat and I'd barely get one meal out it anyway. Even if I felt bad eating a pet lamb or cow, I'd at least get a couple of servings.
[–]goodwolf 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
You should try dog someday. It's delicious I hear.
[–]ScubaPlays 1 point2 points3 points 7 months ago
This is very true, that's why I ate my cat. Fair is fair.
[–]Far-Country 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
Really don`t think many animals are off limits because I have killed and butchered many myself. When you slit the the throat of an animal you gain new respect for it, it not just a piece of meat in plastic wrap any more.

Stupid, hmmm? And just what do you think happens to those hens and cows on "happy" farms after they can no longer give enough milk or lay enough eggs to be economically viable for the farmer to keep?
Also, what do you suppose becomes of the unwanted males born in either industry? I doubt their fate changes much regardless if they're born on a "happy" farm or not.
[–]obsidianzebra 2 points3 points4 points 7 months ago
I can't fathom that anyone would believe such an oxymoron as "ethical killing". Really, you've got to be fucking kidding me. So killing an animal is ok as long as you do it indirectly (by buying dairy products) and they pet the veal calf and tell him he's a good boy before slitting his throat? Next thing I know you're gonna tell me there's such a thing as humane slavery.
Once upon a time I thought I would never give up cheese either. Then I came to the realization that it is impossible to disconnect dairy from needless killing i had no desire to support. Besides, cow's milk is for calves, not adult humans. Grow up already. It is possible to overcome cheese addictions. There is more to life than gorging upon congealed bovine mammary secretions.
[–][deleted] 7 months ago*
[–]obsidianzebra 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago*
There is no such thing as humane slaughter, period. There is nothing humane about taking the life of another against their will, regardless of what little pain comes along with the method.
I really don't understand how you can even go on to say that what you consume is more humane/ethical and then acknowledge that you have no idea what happens on these farms. Granted, they may try to limit their transparency of what really goes on there, but if you bother to do a bit of research, plenty of people have uncovered the ugly truth of what really goes on in these places. Here's one site to get you started.
Honestly, if you are fine with the spent animals who provided you eggs/milk & their unwanted offspring being slaughtered in a way that eases your conscience, then why not partake in their flesh? It's really not that much different.
Also, 13 is well beyond weaning age for human beings. Even in cultures where breastfeeding is still predominate, kids are usually off the breast by 5 or 6.
[–]goodwolf -1 points0 points1 point 7 months ago
Say what you will, all farms are better for the animals than living in the wild. What extent of pampering do we need to give the animals?
I'm an omnivore and I think we should present our views without criticizing each other.

Agreed, most Jews that I know aren't very religious or even identify themselves as atheists, but are very proud to be Jewish and still practice for the sake of heritage.
[–]Tac0s 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
The Jews, also known as the Jewish people, are a nation and an ethnoreligious group... The Jewish ethnicity, nationality, and religion are strongly interrelated.
You can be a be of Jewish ethnicity but practice the Muslim religion.
While we're at it you could even be a Jewish Buddhist atheist since some Buddhists don't believe in a god.
[–]Karnadas 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
Yeah, I know. I was just making fun of the situation. I think at one point I explained the culture and religious things to someone else.
[–]fruitylips 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
Chyeah...I know lots of Jews who eat bacon.
[–]BlueParrot 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
Depends how strict they are about it. Same way many Christians shave their beards and eat shellfish, some Jews are fine with eating pork and bacon.
Also, there's quite a few non-religious Jews, who see "Jewishness" more as a culture and heritage. A good example would have been Einstein, who did not believe in a personal god, but nevertheless considered himself Jewish.
I'm an atheist vegetarian and I'd just like you to watch http://www.meatvideo.com/ .

[–]onthatbasis 13 points14 points15 points 7 months ago
this is the one thing i really don't understand about the atheist-reddit community. if you're examining the world around you, and everything you've taken for granted with a skeptical eye and a curious mind, why do you still link arms in the bacon-circle-jerk? is it simply because you're ex-Jewish/ex-Muslim and it was forbidden? or do you only want to remove the mental blocks as long as they don't interfere with something you enjoy? you like dawkins and hitchens? read some peter singer. (edit): so, this is in agreement with gooie, in case that wasn't clear.
[–]bojang1es 7 points8 points9 points 7 months ago
I kind of agree. Atheists here tend to praise rational and critical thinking but this process often results in one becoming morally opposed to eating meat. Most members seem to have disgust at how religious people treat their fellow man, but this pales in comparison to how we as a whole treat animals.
Edit: +1 to Singer, a great place to begin studying ethics.
[–]BlueParrot 1 point2 points3 points 7 months ago
I think you take the bacon praising a bit too literally. Also, most people I know that eat meat do want there to be rules for how livestock animals can be raised and treated. I try to be vegan myself, but there's quite a few different grey-scales between vegan and not giving a fuck what the industry does to animals.
From the downvotes and comments around here, I understand what you mean now.
I guess I'm just not as experienced in /r/atheism.
You can examine the world with a sceptical eye and curious mind while enjoying a joke about bacon.
I do agree that this subreddit is a circlejerk, but I doubt you agree with me because my reply wasn't about ciclejerkiness, it was about animals being slaughtered inhumanely.
[–]Helpful-Soul -1 points0 points1 point 7 months ago
These people are just saying they used to not eat bacon because of their religion, which they have come to realize is just bullshit, so now they eat bacon. Religion (and giving up religion) has nothing to do with the morality/immorality of slaughtering animals.
[–]jormugandr -6 points-5 points-4 points 7 months ago

[–]CorneliusPepperPhD 2 points3 points4 points 7 months ago
Try the human-centric focus, probably will find more success here. Anyone who looks into the practices of the meat packing industry towards its employees will find plenty to mull over. This is a great place to start, a cultural anthropologist studies the impact of meat packing's arrival in Garden City, KS. The environmentally conscious atheists here will certainly find it hard to look at the ecological impact and just say 'meh, but I just really like meat.' This does a decent job of laying it out.

[–]Tannz0rz 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
This is supposed to make humans feel bad about eating animals? What is your standpoint on lions viciously tearing the throat of a zebra and consuming its meat?
[–]gooie 2 points3 points4 points 7 months ago*
Its okay because its natural? Man it feels like I'm talking to homophobes.
Morality is based on feelings, so I was trying to appeal to your emotions of empathy. I guess you have none.
EDIT: Lions need it to live, we only need it to make our food yummy. Anyway I'm not going to behave a certain way just because some other animal does it.
[–]obsidianzebra 1 point2 points3 points 7 months ago
Lions don't have a choice. Humans do.
[–]Tannz0rz -2 points-1 points0 points 7 months ago
...What? Please conjure up a proper response at least, as that justifies nothing.
[–]obsidianzebra 3 points4 points5 points 7 months ago
Exactly what am I supposed to be justifying? You're the one comparing an obligate carnivore to an opportunistic omnivore.
[–]Tannz0rz -1 points0 points1 point 7 months ago
Look into the eyes of the dying zebra and into the eyes of the dying cow in the factory. The pain is no different. Eliminating the pain of one will not eliminate that of the other, yet one is justified? Why shan't we all just intervene with the entire food chain?
[–]JenniferLopez 2 points3 points4 points 7 months ago
The pain of death may be similar, but the difference is, a zebra has the chance to live it's life in the wild before it is eaten. Cows raised for veal, for example, never get the chance to walk on the grass or to see the sun. They are chained down until they are slaughtered. You cannot compare animals killed in the wild by other animals to cows or chickens being slaughtered in a factory.
You're not the sharpest crayon in the box, are you? If you can't figure out the difference between a slaughterhouse and nature, then I can't help you.
[–]gx240politics -1 points0 points1 point 7 months ago
There is no difference. Humans are a part of nature; we're animals just like lions.
Furthermore he was comparing the pain of the two suffering animals. Explain why the pain of a zebra dying by a lion is less significant than the pain of a cow dying by a human, since we've all agreed that pain is the problem.
[–]electriophile 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
Have some upvotes. We may be smarter than other animals, but we're still animals. And animals kill each other for food. A lion doesn't give a shit if the zebra is still alive, conscious, and suffering; why the fuck would I? Sure, I'd buy more humanely-produced food if it wasn't so damn expensive, I'm not completely cut off from the suffering of my fellow sentient beings. But I'm also dirt fucking poor and my husband and I go through two gallons of milk a week because it's so goddamn delicious.
[–]gooie 2 points3 points4 points 7 months ago
You are trying to justify morality logically. I propose to you that morality comes from feelings and not logic.
I don't know why I have feelings nor do I care. I just feel empathy for other beings that feel. All I can do is show you a scary video and hope it brings up the feelings that are in me.
I can't argue to you why you should care about animals if you truly do not care for them. Can you imagine telling a psychopath that its wrong to kill people?
And I don't judge you for eating meat or milk. You live in different circumstances from me. A lot like how I don't blame the lion, because it needs it to survive. For me however, I prefer the painlessness to animals to the yumminess of meat.
[–]electriophile -1 points0 points1 point 7 months ago
I watched the video beginning to end, and it really struck a nerve.
You've truly inspired me. For tomorrow's breakfast, I am going to eat an extra-large helping of nice crispy bacon, some sausage hash browns, eggs over easy (for that fetus-y kick), and buttermilk pancakes. Top it off with a nice glass of 2% milk, and I'm going to have one hell of a tasty meal.
[–]Xatana 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
Watched the video, but I have to wonder...
Clearly we're not going to all become vegans. That movie did nothing in the ways of making me feel guilty because I like to eat meat and eggs. If you're going to advocate something, it would make sense to advocate maybe a pain-free death for the animals in the slaughterhouses. If that's something that the vegan movement is interested in, are there any specific alternatives? I mean some of those practices which are supposedly abhorrent looked perfectly humane to me. You do have to kill the animal, you know...
Sure. I respect vegans, but I eat fish too, while fully understanding that it causes pain to the fish. And I eat free range eggs and drink milk.
Its all about how much you value the yumminess of meat vs the care you have for animals. In my case it is only enough to make me avoid meat most of the time.
But no guilt at all? You didn't see how they ripped the testicles off piglets with pliers?
Just because the animal rights movement might find it easier to achieve its goals doesn't mean that the vegan movement doesn't make sense. While you may never give up meat, this video might still make you think twice about eating meat for every meal, and choosing meat over veggie when they both taste the same. (Try veggie pizzas, they're great!)
[–]Xatana 1 point2 points3 points 7 months ago
It might on some, but for the most of us we are going to continue eating the same amount of meat as before. I visit the organic store to avoid GMO's and hormones in what I eat. I often see free-range eggs there as well. But I make about $20,000 a year (USMC infantry) and I can't afford to go there most of the time.
The free market solution to this is that you have to make the price differences close to non-existent between let's say free range eggs and normal eggs. Of course people dislike it when these things are put into light, and if they see that they can get free-range eggs for maybe 50 cents more instead of 2x the price, they would more than likely get the free range. The free market would then dictate that in order to compete, everyone needs to move to free-range because consumers want that product over the other.
So basically what I'm saying is that if you want real change, find a way to make the final free-range product cost-effective enough to compete within the same price range as normal products. Appealing to people to become vegans is not going to work on a large enough scale to stop this stuff.
[–]gooie 4 points5 points6 points 7 months ago
I agree that making free range eggs cheaper will help, but the thing is, there are real costs to letting chickens run around.
Guilting people out of buying caged eggs is quite effective. In the UK some supermarkets (Waitrose, Sainsbury) have stopped selling caged eggs. You can't find them in there. Many slaughter houses have begun slaughtering pigs before they mature, so that they won't have to rip out their testicles.
[–]CorneliusPepperPhD 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
There is such a huge disconnect between the cost of meat and animal products and the price we pay due to decades of really successful lobbying (just take a look who runs the FDA these days). Also, the term free-range is a strategic marketing strategy a lot of the time. You can throw 10,000 chickens crammed in a CAFO, leave a door open for them to technically have access, and sell your 'free-range' eggs with a pretty little markup. This isn't to say that there aren't producers genuinely affording a quality existence to their livestock, I'm just saying that 'free-range' doesn't guarantee anything.
You hit the nail on the head. We need to separate the FDA from the corrupting ties of companies like Monsanto, then we can talk about reforms in the way the animals are treated.
I'm also interested in knowing what kind of slaughter procedures vegans view (if any) as humane.
I'm not vegan, and many vegans do it for health rather than for the animals.
However I suppose vegans don't think there is a humane way, and therefore have resorted to not eating animals at all. But I do think they will appreciate attempts to be humane.
[–]Pyromaniac605 -3 points-2 points-1 points 7 months ago
I must admit, this is the first time anybody has tried pushing vegetarianism on me... But no thanks, I'll stick with eating meat from dead animals until we can grow it in a lab and make it taste just as good.
[–]gooie 4 points5 points6 points 7 months ago*
How about eating meat only from humanely killed animals then?
Anyway http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-15402552 meat from a lab. Was this what you were referring to?
[–]rasputine 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
How would eating human-killed animals help at all? Kosher meat is killed by a human, you think it's better to slash open their throats and watch them thrash to death rather than piston them in the head?

[–]Pyromaniac605 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
How about eating meat only from humanly killed animals then?
Honestly, I couldn't care less, but I guess killing animals more humanely would be nice.
I am aware that we can grow meat in a lab, but it hasn't yet gotten to the point where you can by lab-grown meat from the store just like any other meat.

Some people don't realize the irony of being an "atheist" who goes around telling people how morally superior they are because of a belief they hold and have done exactly nothing to actually reflect that. Thank you for not being one.
If you mean the belief that living beings shouldn't be hurt, then yes I admit there is nothing to "reflect" that.
It comes from my feelings, I will make no attempt to justify my empathy. Maybe a psychologist can help you understand.
[–]orzof -1 points0 points1 point 7 months ago
You can certainly believe what you want, but if that leads you to blindly calling others ignorant, then it probably causes more harm than good for your cause. I have nothing against Vegetarians or Vegans, in general. Just like anything else that I can see the merit in, I just wish that those elements that give it the undue bad reputation were a lesser voice than they are.
[–]orzof -4 points-3 points-2 points 7 months ago
But if we cared what they thought, every other post on Reddit wouldn't be about bacon.
[–]redkey42 -1 points0 points1 point 7 months ago
And if you had an ounce of empathy and researched sow stalls and factory farming, you'd be less ignorant.
[–]orzof 3 points4 points5 points 7 months ago*
I'm just saying, vegan and vegetarian Redditors don't have much sway on Reddit as a whole. Accusing people who already think very poorly of the big meat industry and enjoy shopping at local farmer's markets of being ignorant on the matter is a good example why your opinions might be marginalized as aimless guilt tripping of people who are all to tired of it. I'm sorry that it's so hard to research about how much research I've done on the matter, but that also means that you are the one who would be ignorant on the matter.
*Edit Accidental words mixed up some
[–]redkey42 -4 points-3 points-2 points 7 months ago*
This is such a bs response. Everyone who gets called on ignoring factory farming is suddenly an avid farmers markets, story book, farm animal meat-eater. Funny how there's never any mention of that BEFORE promoting the consumption, and demand, of one of the worst treated animals in factory farming.
aimless guilt tripping of people who are all to tired of it.
Aimless... How nice of you to trivialise suffering. I'm tired of people combating things when THEY are marginalised and abused for being, example, atheist.. And then turn around and not give one ounce of a fuck if they actually have to change anything about how THEY are living their lives to reduce suffering anywhere else.
[–]orzof 1 point2 points3 points 7 months ago

I'm not vegan, but I don't go around promoting an industry well known for suffering either. Good attempt at trying to maintain your bubble though.
Uh huh. Cool story. My bubble, got it. My bubble...

Bacon is the only solid evidence for the existence of a god.

I'm sorry, but this is pathetic. If r/atheism made you convert you are just as bad as the religion you preached. It seems as though everyone is looking for something or somebody to follow and think for them. You are one of those people.
[–]kingseed 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
That's a poor argument. Helping someone to see logic and think for themselves is not the same as brainwashing and indoctrinating.
There are many religious people who seem to stumble across r/atheism only to find out how contradictory/nonsensical/immoral their religions are. Someone who manages to see their religion from a different perspective on r/atheism is not "following" or having "others think for them"... they are simply becoming more rational.
