That is not an answer to HIS question.
I'll answer SOMEONE'S question. Cannibalism, in my opinion, is awful. It doesn't appear to serve any practical purpose. In the rare event that eating a person is integral to survival, what do you think? Most people would hesitate. But say that a vegetarian was in the same situation with their favorite goat. How much would they hesitate to eat the goat? Is it the exact same situation, or is there a difference?

Fair enough. I'm not out to prove anything. I respect those that choose to be vegetarians, because I agree with a lot of the reasons. However, I do not respect those that choose to view themselves as morally superior to those that DO eat meat.
I don't need to answer your question. You're thinking that advocating the consumption of animal meat must necessarily allow cannibalism, which doesn't follow.
Well, the thing is, you're wrong. Man-eating entails 'murder', which is unacceptable to many Humans.

I dont ask you to follow cannibalism, but you can never blame a man-eater since you are a omnivorous.
But you're wrong.
An omnivore eats meat.
A cannibal eats their own species.
Are you not seeing the difference?

What is the difference between killing of an animal and killing of a human.
What is wrong in saying that people eat meat after 'MURDERING' animals. You are eating the meat of 'MURDERED' animals.
Why it is killing of human is unacceptable, while killing of animals is acceptable?

What is the wrong in eating their own species, will that cause any problems to health?
But it isn't murder.
Because Humans won't allow for it [the killing of other Humans].

So you finally accept CANIBALISM? I like to know your personal view on this.

Can't we just respectfully disagree?
Nameless, obviously you feel that you are justified in equating animal consumption as "murder".
UnTheist, you only consider murder to be a term applied 'inter-species'.
This debate will not end with this thread. I think that we understand both sides of the argument and I HOPE that we can refrain from feeling the need to 'convert' or 'humiliate' the other.
Just a reminder, nameless, it is offensive and a detriment to your intelligence to attempt to pin everyone that disagrees with you as "cannibals". There are more intelligent ways to debate.

Canibals wont ask permission of anybody for killing humans.
Therefore?

Very much simple logic,You people eat meat and herbs, the same is in the case of canibals, they too eat meat and herbs. Both is to be treated the same. If you eat meat you must accept canibalism, as they are doing only as same as what you do.
Yes, they are both eating meat. That doesn't mean they're the same.
