Back to the Use of Animals... for one second...
Ok, so back to the use of animals in unethical ways. How about the use of animals for consumption. This is for all of you meat eaters out there. I am 100% totally a meat eater, and that will probably never change. I don't agree with the surplus of meat we have or abusing the system by killing more animals than we need to eat at one given point in time, however, I do not oppose eating animals as a source of nutrition. I don't believe it is a murderous act that is unlawful. It is something that we need for survival. Not everyone can survive on a vegetarian diet. Some people really need the proteins and minerals meat can provide. So I guess what I am trying to get across hear, is that I don't believe meat eating and the use of animals is an unethical issue, I just believe that it should be limited to the amount we need to eat, and that we don't necessarily need a surplus in meat. If we eat, we kill more to eat more. If we don't eat it, then we don't have to kill to get more.

I have never found one serious researcher who claims, in print, that a vegetarian diet cannot in principle satisfy, with minor B12 supplementation (a simple, daily vitamin, for example), everyone's nutrional needs. Do you have a reference?
Even if you could find people who could not survive on a vegetarian diet, those cases would be exempted because of their inability to survive without eating meat. All other people have a moral responsibility not to eat meat, due to the numerous reason mentioned in class why we should respect other sentient life.
