Vegetarians versus Carnivores.

    Elephants. What animal, carnivore or not, would take on a healthy Elephant in a fight? An Elephant would pick up a lion with its trunk, throw it 500 meters, then sprint after it and jump up and down on its head just for fun.

    So with the above synopsis of the animal kingdom being undeniable - who could pretend vegetablarians are inferior to carnivores?

    Talk to me.

    If God didn't want us to eat meat he wouldn't have made it so tasty.

    Except that any meat you can think of is, more often than not, accompanied by sauces made from spices, fruits and vegetables.

    I'll only eat things that once had a face and possibly a conscience.

    Can't be an omnivore unless it's a carnivore.

    aka the crap you push out of the way to get at the good stuff ie a nice rare steak!

    Mmmm! Now mash that up and give it to me with some dead cooked animal.

    Us. They'll get the same thing their cousins the mammoths got if their not quite.

    You do know that an Elephant would smash you to get at the grass that fed your steak?

    Do you think you could beat an Elephant in a fight?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,698 ✭✭✭Topper Harley


    You do know that an Elephant would smash you to get at the grass that fed your steak?

    But they can be very friendly too.

    Dumb vegetarian turning up to a fight unarmed...

    You can make glaciers retreat?

    Also, the fact that humans can employ tools that can kill other animals does not make us superior. There is no evidence superior technology leads to better survivability.

    None.

    Smith&Wesson.

    You're more likely to die from heart disease than ever fighting an animal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,359 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    Vegetarians merely exist as food for smarter,stronger and fitter carnivores.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,820 ✭✭✭FanadMan


    Little known fact about a vegetarian diet - it makes your farts and pooh smell terrible. The only thing that should do that is Guinness.

    Elephants cannot jump.

    Lions do eat elephants.

    Eat your vegetables.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,193 ✭✭✭✭IvySlayer


    Lions hunt elephants

    Tigers have been known to kill Indian elephants, some tigers have been recorded jumping out at tigers to induce heart attacks.

    But yeah, 1 vs 1 the strongest herbivores will crush carnivores.

    Elephants, Rhinos, Hippos, Gorillas etc

    Stop talking bollocks. Carnivores exist because of vegetarians.

    What do you attribute our increasing life span to?

    Increasing lifespan compared to what?

    Us homo-sapiens have a long way to go before we can call ourselves superior to other creatures like jellyfish and and crocodiles if you want to bring longevity into it.

    What has lifespan to do with anything if it's at the expense of the biosphere that sustains us?

    Don't be such an arrogant human.

    A population of ~7 billon may tend to disagree

    They kept hunting big game and didn't adapt. That was their problem. We didn't appear with guns.
