Why I am not a vegan

[Diana]

Everyone is a killer.
Some think that they are not.
Ignoring their true nature they are.

So you think the true nature of all humans is a killer?

Do you mean that we have to take life in oder to sustain ourselves? That's one of the main issues in the "meat vs. vegetable as sustenance" discussion and has been extensively canvassed. I would be happy to reiterate some of it. Because there are many differences between taking animal life and taking plant life. For instance:

And if you were talking about animals vs. vegetables, well, this one just doesn't fly for me. The day that you can pluck a ripe drumstick off of a chicken, which doesn't hinder the chicken in any way and in fact 2 legs grow back in its place and it continues to be a happy healthy chicken, while at the same time you are helping it propagate, that's the day that we can talk about how animals are as legitimate of a food source as plants. Doesn't mean I don't have compassion for them - in fact, the compassionate thing to do to a plant IS to harvest its fruit. If a plant fruits and drops its seeds on top of the parent plant, it has basically failed. Apples are bright red, sweet, and juicy, to draw animals to the fruit to help the species thrive. It's a symbiotic relationship instead of a predatory one.

Or perhaps you mean something else?
