Question...

Some say that eating meat is murder, so we shouldn't eat meat.

Lions and Tigers eat meat.  Should we prevent them from eating meat if it is part of their nature to do so?

I think eating meat for nutrition is not wrong. Our body needs the animal proteins that we get from meat that no other alternative like plant proteins can provide. 

Eating meat is natural.  It is a means for proper nourishment.  If you are doubting this, go near a lion and see for yourself.

I am not against the humane butchery of animals for nourishment, a big emphasis on HUMANE.

I am however against the killing of animals for fur or the use of animals for testing new beauty products. 

Killing for fashion is a BIG NO NO. 

Fur is murder.  This statement I totally believe in.

There are a lot of synthetic alternatives to fur nowadays because of technology, and the rationale that fur is needed for warmth is passe already. 

Fashion and Nutrition are worlds apart reasons for killing animals.

Nutrition is neccessary.

Fashion is not.



p.s.
 
My only consideration for not eating some meat products is if they are procured through inhumane methods like Foie Gras, which I think is torture to animals and is absolutely unnecessary to satisfy our palate.
