If animals can eat other animals, why can't we eat animals too?

Not trying to start a flameware, honest, I'm just curious to the response of this question from a PETA supporting vegetarian.

Honestly, you clearly ARE trying to start a flameware Gatsby. I'm far from one of your enemies around here, but don't pretend this is not flamebait.

I figure vegetarians are just too stupid to eat chicken wings.

Have you ever chased a chicken? I think not.. Most people would give up at chasing chickens, I mean chickens, domesticated animals, aren't exactly 'easy' to chase.

I stand corrected, but anyways for most people I would say killing a chicken wouldn't exactly be 'easy'.

Chickens are dumb as rocks. They come to food and you hit them with a bat. Or you corner them and pick them up.

Animals do eat other animals but we don't have to and we can make the decision to not eat meat.

If I were to become a vegetarian my reason would be environmental. Meat, especially red meat, uses up huge amounts of resources (water, energy) in comparison to plants. So, we can make the decision to not eat meat in order to conserve resources.

I've cut out red meats for the most part and only eat meat once a week or so. I doubt I'll ever be a full fledged vegetarian though.

The amount of resources consumed to make the computer you type on, the hot water heater that heats your gallons and gallons of shower water, every other object in and around your house, and the resources consumed to power all the things you own vastly overshadows the roast beef in your lunch.

If anyone really cared about resource consumption, they'd kill themselves.

This thread is like walking into a Jewish temple and saying "I don't mean to offend you people, but what's the big deal with the Holocaust? Boo hoo, a few people died, what's the big deal? Again, I don't want to make anyone mad, just asking."
