Ugh, I know. I'll never understand how anyone could support the slaughter of billions of animals. Wake up humans! Cows and chickens have a right to live too!

Cow and chicken populations are also severely inflated by humans and need to be thinned. Same with deer populations. Don't push your vegan agenda, please.

lol are you serious? Humans breed them so they can be killed, that's why there are so many. Continuing to kill them wont solve the problem of humans putting their own lives above other species'.

Apparently, aside from having a misguided agenda, you also can't read.

Stop and think for a second. What do you think would happen if, all of a sudden, cows and chickens were OMG FREEEEEED! and left to their own devices?

Here's a hint: It wouldn't work. Bad things would happen. The populations, when left to themselves, would quickly die out because of disease and starvation. Cows and chickens are domesticated and wouldn't be able to defend themselves in the wild, unlike pigs, which quickly revert to a feral state.

Many humans seem to not understand this whole thing called "balance." By killing predators such as wolves, prey populations are severely altered and will increase, sometimes very heavily. This causes rampant starvation and disease as the prey species quite literally eat themselves out of house and home.

A good example is the white-tailed deer population in the southeastern United States. Without legalized hunting to cull the deer population, the numbers would climb even higher than they already are. Why? Because humans decided that it'd be a FANTASTIC idea to start killing off the deer's natural predators. Can we say population boom?

You know, I was getting a bit annoyed by the typical herbivore vs. omnivore discussion above, but this is something I can genuinely get behind. Even better, imagine something like the Ultimate Fighting Championships, but as a death match. I'm willing to bet that scores of testosterone-fueled morons would sign up for that.
Hmm... In order to fund it, the entry papers could include a waver that would name the host organization as the fighter's beneficiary in the event of an in-ring death.

Sweet.

You get the front-row tickets, I'll get the bullet-proof glass. PETA isn't allowed to host unless we get to shoot them, too.

(And I am not typical. D: I'm edjoomukatid.)
