1. Vegetarians are skinnier than meat eaters

2. We get hotter chicks (vegetarian girls are so much hotter than regular one's)

3. We never have to worry about diabetes, getting fat, heart disease, or any other serious medical condition caused by a poor diet

4. It helps limit global warming (do it for the environment guys!)

5. Animals have just as much right as us not to be bothered by our already pervasive, destructive nature

6. MEAT IS MURDER (seriously, how would you feel if we humans were breed only to be cultivated as meat? wouldn't be such a pleasant thing, huh?)

7. If the entire world collectively gave up meat, we would resolve global hunger

8. Your children are less likely to have any physical or mental deformaties, and having healthy children is definately important, right?

9. It's good for your mental/emotional health, seeing as a diet that includes meat causes hypertension.

10. You could save dozens of inocent animals in a lifetime of giving up meat if you make the right choice now.

Aside from that, ANY reputable physician will tell you that if you want to be in sound physical health or lose weight, eating veggies instead of meat, is what will lead to a longer, healthier, and consequently happier life. The truth remains that there is only one diet that cares about the suffering of other sentient beings, only one diet that considers all sentient creatures to be valuable, that being vegetarianism. And by becoming a vegetarian, you'll no longer harbor guilt over killing animals, so that will further the well-being of your emotional health.

Of course, it's not easy to commit to vegetarianism and a healthy lifestyle, but you'll gain more respect for being able to stay attached to a non-mainstream diet, a diet that is so perfect, it's truly amazing such a perfect thing could exist. Really, if we wanted to solve the most significant of our world's problems (ie, global famine, global warming, totalitarianism, ect) giving up meat is the way we could accomplish that.

I know a lot of you are predictably going to say, "I love animals, but I don't have a problem eating them." WRONG! You don't love animals because you're too weak to stop eating them, and love doesn't involve supporting an industry that murders animals everyday so you could shove a grease-drenchted big mac down your throat for lunch. Love has nothing to do with a cow getting its throat sawed open just because the workers enjoy watching it writhe as it is asphyxiated to death. Love should never be something that is bastardized to the point chickens are being drowned in boiling grease! Love isn't something that makes it ok to shove a hook down a fish's throat just because they "taste good."

In fact, I'd even say that if you eat meat, animal rights is something insignificant to you-you don't care about animals being liberated from the cages they're stuck in; you don't care about animals being used to fight one another because psychopaths like Michael Vick get a thrill out of watching dog fights; you are apathetic to the fact that 5 million animals are killed every hour in this stupid country alone; the fact that wolves are hunted down despite the fact that they're already on the verge of becoming extinct is something that never crosses your mind; you support animal prisons like zoos and aquariums because the animals are so "cute to look at."

You are probably one of those people that falsely accuses PETA of supporting terrorists, or possibly you think PETA itself is a terrorist organization, which clearly it isn't, seeing as we're trying to stop the atrocities committed upon animals, something that is completely against terrorism.

All we want is for animals to stop being exploited. We don't want animals to be used as food. We don't want animals bodies to be used for cruel experiments. We don't want animals to be captured and then taken out of their natural environement and be forced into a place they feel miserable in. And we don't want nondomesticated animals to be used as pets.

There are so many people (I being one of them), who would gladly volunteer for these scientific experiments if it means animal testing would be criminalized. And duh, testing products out on humans is FAR more likely to give us accurate results on how it might affect other humans seeing that our genetic code is more similar. Given these two points, it makes no sense for these cruel companies to continue these unusual experiments on animals.

My genuine hope in writing this is that I can at least convert one of you to the right side on the animal rights issue. As it stands now, I don't believe any of you know (much less support) animal rights like I do, so hopefully now that you've wread an objective arguement on the subject, you will be convinced that my way of dealing with it is the appropriate one. The time has come to care for the voiceless, in this case it's the poor animals that are the victims of inhumane slaughter and repellent living conditions before that awful moment comes. If you have even been slightly touched by this, I'd encourage you to do some more research on this contraversial topic, look at it logically, and see if you still can eat meat after all you've learned.

As a true animal lover, I couldn't bring myself to eat meat when it was something I realized had been produced only through the murder of another sentient creature, a creature that shares the same capacity as humans, being able to think, feel, suffer, and love one another.
