How long before we finally get an Emancipation Proclamation to free the animal beings?

Prior to the Civil War in the United States, slavery was accepted as the norm by many. If you spoke out against it, you were considered an extremist.

However, slavery still exist. Animal beings are being enslaved just so they can be raised for meat. Just listen to how bad that sounds. They are raised for meat. Can you imagine if someone kidnapped you and raised you for meat? To view them as less than human beings is wrong. Animal beings are equal to human beings.

Just as slavery was abolished, I think meat eating will be abolished. My question is when and what will it take? When are animal beings going to experience the same freedom as human beings?

I wish the horror would stop too, I am right there with you on this issue!

You just keep doing all you can, as I do...every little bit makes a difference...
Kepp fighting the good fight!

I dont care about people calling me an extremist, labels mean absolutely nada to me..I know my mission, I know why i am here on this rock this time around...and I will never give up!

You ROCK!

this is an extremist view. no law will ever be passed to prevent people eating meat - get real. even if there was in a few hundred years it would be like alcohol prohibition or banning abortions - it would never work.

other animals aren't equal to humans Report Abuse

Ok you need to find some other cause to support as this one will fly about as well as a lead balloon.

I'm sorry, my friend, but just as democracy cannot be dispensed from the barrel of a gun, eating behavior cannot be legislated with the stroke of a pen. As long as America is a free country, people will eat what they wish, when they wish, and/or according to their beliefs about the right things to eat.

You see, everyone agrees that exercising, eating the proper foods, and getting enough sleep are essential to being healthy. Even so, there are still going to be people who don't exercise often enough, eat junk food, and don't get enough sleep. We all agree that smoking cigarettes is not healthy, but people still smoke, even after 60 years of media messages saying how unhealthy it is. Is that a healthy lifestyle? No, but what people like you and the Food & Drug Administration don't understand is that human behavior doesn't change just because somebody passes a law. It's about something called free will.

Even if meat eating were outlawed tomorrow, people are still going to try to find some way to eat it if they like it. Not everyone considers animal life to be equal to human life. That's the way it is.

The village called. They want their idiot back.

Never,

Animal are just too tasty

i agree that it'll be abolished, but in a very, very long time. that's what really depresses me- to know that i will have been dead for thousands of years before animals are treated with respect.

BAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!! Another doofus speaks!

I am totally against the inhumane treatment of animals too however I wouldn't equate them as equal to humans.
When I see footage of starving children and the horrors of war, that really breaks my heart.
Vegetarianism is becoming more popular as people realise meat is not a healthy option and gradually the facts about the meat and dairy industry will become well-known.
There is just too much money invested in these industries to make people aware of what they are really eating.
It won't happen overnight, but it will happen.

This is why i hate people who belong to peta which i suppose you do the way you sound since you cannot come up with your own argument but must borrow one from peta's website or some other stupid website thats for animal rights and what else should we do for the animals after that give them the right to vote.

I am a vegetarian working at becoming a vegan and I still label you an extremist.

I have agreed with most everything you have said in the past. This, however, is extreme. Even though I feel that eating meat is wrong, I could never view animals as equal to human. When the animals can work for a living, earn a paycheck and purchase items it needs, as a human does, I might change my view. When an animal can go to church and comprehend what is being said and make a vociferous choice about what religion it wants to be, I might change my mind.
Until then, it is ideas like this that turn a lot of people off from even considering being a vegetarian or a vegan because we are labeled as nutcase extremist.
