Free Stuff Friday: 'Friend, Not Food' Tee May 16, 2008
Posted by Marta | Permalink | Comments ( 1383 ) | TrackBackOne of my favorite slogans that we use here at peta2 is "(insert animal here) are friends, not food." It's just so cute and catchy. So you can imagine how unbelievably excited I was when I found out that vegetarian snowboarder and artist TJ Schneider designed a 'Friend, Not Food' tee exclusively for peta2.
Check out peta2's Cutest Vegetarian Alive winners, Kelly Anderson and Leonard Sun, modeling the tee:

And we wanted to spread the love, of course, so we're giving two of you lucky readers the chance to score one of these adorable shirts. All you have to do to win is comment with your shirt size and why you think that animals are friends, not food. I think that animals are friends, not food because I love to hug all animals (cats, chickens, and crazy humans alike)—and I certainly wouldn't spend my time hugging potatoes and parsnips.
This contest ends June 6, 2008 and the winner will be chosen and notified by June 13, 2008.
Just so you know...by commenting here, we're taking that as acknowledgment that you've read and agreed to our privacy policy.

Every since i was young ive loved animals, ALL animals. My mom says i was went to a crocodile sanctuary and insisted that we adopt a baby crocodile. My dog and my cat was and are like my baby brothers. I would never dig a fork into my older brother or any human and eat them so why would i eat an animal? Animals are friends not food.
Animals are friends, not food because food is nowhere near as fun to spend time with (have you ever tried playing fetch with a carrot?!).
My shirt size is girls' small :)
Posted by: Alice at May 16, 2008 11:14 AMI think animals are friends, not food because when I talk to them they respond, not with words but with a look or a sound and vegetables certainly don't respond when I talk to them!
Small t-shirt size please!
Posted by: Little_Lotte at May 16, 2008 11:32 AMThere are so many resons why animals should only be for friendship purposes and not food. The very basic reason for me is that all animals can still feel pain and suffering just like humans can, so why should we have the right to put them through all of that just because we are supposedly 'the top of the foodchain' Another reason for people who are not quite so concerned about the welfare for animals, is that the conditions animals in the meat industry live in, can affect the meat. Animals can get sick and get illnesses caused by the terrible conditions. This is particularly obvious in chickens. There are usually so many animals in a small space that they cannot move around freely and are forced to live in their excrement. The urine has ammonia in it which burns their skin and this is why some chicken has really red or even black parts to the chicken. Chemicals are then pumped into the carcass to get rid of the burns. Animals also can get cancer, using a source I heard about from peta2, a man bit into a steak and there was a tumour in it, and it burst in his mouth and he got blood and puss all in his mouth.
Finally, my conclusion to this, is animals should not be used for food, because they can be better friends than most people. Animals provide a source of comfort to anybody who is not afraid, they are cuddly and cute, and I really cannot understand how anybody can be so cruel as to hurt or kill these amazing creatures!!
They are so intelligent too!!

I think animals a friends not foo dfor many different reasons. One, they are best friends that keep your secrets and don't talk back to you in mean ways just like we want our friends to do. They don't care what you look like but it you treat them right then they will always be grateful. They even have saved the lives of human companions and complete strnagers.
Animals also should not be eaten but treated as oru friends because they have feelings just like us, and families, and love their young. Like any good mother the animal mothers treat their children as most important and will protect them with all they can give. They are just like us if not equal.
Animals are frends, not food because they are faithful, loving and can be great companions. When you're down and no one else wants to listen, they're great listeners and never interrupt. They always know when you need cheering up, and they never fail to with their cute and funny antics. They don't deserve to be eaten. A lot of farm animals are underestimated, and when they learn to trust someone they will be great companions.
We humans underestimate their itelligence, their curiosity and their caring nature towards their young. Animals are not for eating - we are all equal.

i think animals are friends not food mainly for the reason, that they dont have to ablitly to speak up and say that this is completely wrong, they didnt do ANYTHING whatsoever do deserve to die, they all have feelings, and they have their familes they have to leave behind.
imagine if animals could talk ? they would have millions of things to say to those who abuse them and jabb a knif into them. just imagine, day to day hearing what the innocent animal would have to say. they could without a doubt stop everybody from eating them, it would be amazing.
just like us humans these animals have the right to live, they did nothing to die for our tastebuds. and for that its juss inhuman and sick.
and did you ever think that those animals have babies, sisters, brothers ? FAMILIES ? its sad, seeing a baby being departed and lost from their parent. it really is.
well to sum it up, basically. just think if we were fed to those animals ? reverse this cycle and think how pleasant it would be. yeaaa, i thought so :]
I think that animals are friends and not food because I don't understand how its alright to eat some animals and not others. All animals are equal. I don't see a difference between a dog or a pig, and I don't get how in this part of the world people can eat pigs and cows but they can't eat dogs and cats. Especially when across the world, it's okay to eat dogs and cats! It's so ridiculous!!! If its disgusting to eat your dog, you shouldn't eat any other animal! I'm a shirt size adult medium.
Posted by: Aneliese at May 16, 2008 12:28 PMi think animals are friends and not food beacuse they feel the same feelings we do and they can be friends to us like any other person. most people just find dogs and cats to friends with them but pretty much any other animal can have a connection with a person. i dont see any difference between animals and humans so why couldnt they be our friends?
my shirt size is a adult small =]
I would wear an unisex M t-shirt. Animals are friends and not food because they're sentient beings who have the desire and right not to slaughtered just because some people might like the way they taste.

Posted by: cara at May 16, 2008 1:38 PMI think more people of the world needs to know what animals go through for the meat they eat. Animals need love and care, they don't need us killing them off and killing their young! It's just wrong and sick! Veggies are healthy for every one and I think these shirts are wickedly awesome showing that animals are our friends and not something we eat or wear. I have pets of my own and I feel strongly about those who think hurting animals for the meat, clothes or even for fun is just cruel!
I mean a step away from hurting an animal is killing a human!
The other day I was in Wal*Mart and a guy asked me about the shirt I wore, it was a pink shirt that had a mouse on it doing school work and it said 'No Animal Testing'; he asked me who I felt about animal testing and so I told him that it's wrong and sick to test on helpless animals for reasons unknown! If those stupid scientists want to test on something then maybe they should test on them selves! Sorry I get a little out of hand some times when I talk about how animals are mistreated.
I love animals and I hate meat to the max. I think animals should be able to live their lives the way they want and I don't think or believe humans have the right to test on them, kill them for meat or kill them for the joy of their pain! It's wrong and sick to the point my stomach twists at the idea of some one being so cruel and so unruly!
I wear an adult size X Large shirt and I feel strongly against animal testing, animals dying for the meat people eat and animal cruelty.

I completley love animals. they have so much positive energy its unbelieveable. They deserve the right to live on earth just as humans do and any other lifeform. Peta you fucking kick ass!

I think animals are friends not food because they're smart and they have feelings just like us. Plus they're just so cute! I don't know how I used to be able to eat them without thinking anything of it. Some people have chickens and stuff as pets, and they wouldn't eat them, so it's kind of like eating a dog or cat. And who would want to do that?
i think that all animals are diffently friends and not food because they are all liveing. their life isn't any less valuable then a dog, cat pig, humans. anything that has a beating hart should be treated equaly.

i think animals are friends not food [finding nemo :]) because they are just like us.growing up ,i used to sit on the couch with my mom and watch old timey videos.I dont even recall the name of the movie but it was a barnyard movie and all the animals talked and the head pig got shot by the farmer by accident.Ever since that movie when iwas probably 5,ive never eaten pig again.
Its weird how soceity will eat pigs and cows and chickens,etc. but wont eat their dog or cat.
Why tortune some and protect others?
If you were born and raised to eat dogs,you would,you wouldnt think anything of it.
Its the way your raised.
Well raise yourself to not eat anything.
Just because there is a huge supply of animals doesnt mean you treat animals cruely.
animals are friends not food.
peace bruhhh.
:)
Animals arent food because animals have brains and emotions just like humans do. And you wouldnt eat a human!!! ...I hope!!

k, well my best friend is my cat Lucky. I would never eat her so what makes any other animal different. I also believe we are all animals so why would eating chicken be any different then eating my Mom.Ilove my Mom and would never eat her. It also is dicusting to eat meat, the smell makes me wonna puke.Like today I got meat thrown at me cause everybody through it'd be funny cause im vegan. It was not funny i almost cryed and threw up.Sorry i'm really upset bout today and if i got that shirt it would make my day!!!!

I think animals are friends not food because simply, they are living beings. We have to ask ourselves, would we eat a human? I know it's a silly question but it has a deeper meaning. Animals are really no different than us humans are, we're living, breathing beings, and so are animals. I would never have my friends as food, clearly, therefore, animals, living beings, are our friends, not our meals.
Five of my best friends are animals!

Posted by: Lilly at May 16, 2008 4:24 PMits just plain and simple.
why eat something that is living, breathing, and most likely could be a friend to you. just beacuse we dont speak the same language doesnt mean we dont have a connection with the animals of this planet. they have there family, friends, and a life to live just like we humans do. would want someone to come around kill your closest friends or even your brother just so they can be statified of hunger?? i think not.
thats a reason animals are friends[family], not food.

It's much nicer to cuddle up with an animal than a hunk of meat.

animals are friends not food because in truth we are animals too. how would we like to be caged, druged, murdered, and eaten? not very nice and you wouldnt eat or cat fluffy or your dog fido. right? so why would you eat a chicken, fish, cow or pig?
Posted by: Rachel Caldwell at May 16, 2008 4:43 PMI think animals are friends, not food because people are animals too, and people have human friends as well as animal friends. Would you eat your own human friend?! Anyone who believes eating another peson is wrong should also know that eating any other animal is WRONG. If you wouldn't eat another person, then you shouldn't eat any other animals.

Animals are friends not food because they can ALWAYS even after you have the worst day ever light a spark in your heart and make you start smiling. Animals are true friends because they never ever judge you by your skin color, hair, or piercings or other trivial things like other people do. animals are the best friends people could ever had and its time everyone treats them like they treat us.

I think animals are friends, not food, because they are almost exactly like us. The only difference that I can think of is that they just look different, and I am not one to discriminate against looks....They feel pain (unfortunately for different reasons) like we do, they bleed like we do, they have families like we do, and the list can go on and on.
Posted by: Stephanie at May 16, 2008 5:36 PMI think animals are friends,not food because.......well there not.
Animals can feel pain just as much as you and me.
It is more then cruel to eat animals.
It is so unnecessary to eat animals and just so so horrible.
You mad as well eat humans if you eat animals, its the samething.
It really makes me mad that people dont realize that.
I also think that animals are friend,not food is because animals are my friends, my bestest friends.
So far i havent met a person as nice as my dogs and cats.
SAVE THE ANIMALS!

Posted by: kayleen at May 16, 2008 5:50 PMI've been vegitarien since i could think propely, and i seriously can't understand what weird minded person would eat a living creature. My friends say 'animals where made to eat or thats what they're there for' and to be honest i think that's the biggest load of shit i've ever heard. It's like eating your family pet, you just wouldn't do it. It proper upset's me how everyone eat's animals like they can grow some more, they don't care that they left a packet of bacon in the fridge too long and it's outa date so they've gotta throw it away, and that pig should be running across some feild happily somewhere and that chicken they ate for tea was practically full of chemically produced shit and was hung up by it's feet for 12 hours before all the blood ran to it's head and killed it slowely. I don't even want a t-shirt i just wish somehow the world would come to it's sences and see that it's sickeningly wrong to do stuff like that.
Posted by: Jools Mercer at May 16, 2008 5:50 PManimals r selfless and are also creatures which though cannot communicate in our langs do have feeling and also feel the pain of being slaughtered.
when mass killing of humans occur there is a great outburst of emotions by the entire human society but when an animal is nothing happens.ppl cut the fins of a shark and throw it back into the sea but when a shark enters public water it is killed,same ways to other animals.
i feel that "one who cant create doesnt have the right to destroy"
so lets raise a vooice ad stop killing of animals atleast if not all the ones on the verge of xtinction.

I love animals so much and I don't think i will ever touch a bit of meat for the rest of my life! LIke Lindsey said above, "If you wouldn't eat another person, then you shouldn't eat any other animals." In biblical times, they only ate the meat because they didn't want to waste their sacrifice and I think we should do the same (except without the meat)
Posted by: Terina at May 16, 2008 8:55 PMI personally think that animals are friends, not food because well as i read these comments animals ARE people and vegetables are healthy for you. So why dont we just eat them not the annies. They dont deserve what people are doing to them. Animals are living creatures like us and we sure would not like it if somebody ate us i mean well some people do. But thats just wrong, like eating animals. Just save the animals by not eating them [thats the right thing to do!] So take my advice and well.. DONT EAT THE ANIMALS!

well I think that animals are friends, and not food, because an animal can't have the feeling of hate like humans can. All they can do is love. and why would you eat a living, breathing, feeling animal? would you eat a human? I didn't think so.
Posted by: Maddie Weddle at May 16, 2008 9:20 PMAnimals are friends because they are just like us and our human friends. They eat, breathe, love, cry, they do everything that we do, and it's wrong that anyone would ever want to treat animals any differently than they treat other people. EATING ANIMALS IS JUST AS BAD AS EATING HUMANS. That is also why I am vegan.

Posted by: Bridget at May 16, 2008 9:38 PMWe all already know that animals are not food. However, in addition to being our best friends, animals are companions, soul mates, and make life worthwhile. Sometimes i believe i feel closer to animals than humans. They are the best listeners and when you look deep into their eyes, they give you the best advice. Animals will love you unconditionally and have no human flaws. They don't argue with one another over petty problems. They don't have prejudice towards different races or religions. They don't discriminate against gays. Animals treat humans equally, so why shouldn't we do the same for them? Nobody would eat their human friends, so why should the world continue to eat their furry friends? To me, animals are, or should be, treated equally to humans. You're not a cannibal, so why eat an animal? haha...Finally, animals are the best friends and advice givers i know. Animals find peace in the crazy world we live in and listen and love unconditionally. For these reasons, animals are friends and NOT food. Look into the eyes of your furry friend, and see how deep their soul is, how loving their heart is, how lovely their personality is, and most importantly, how they are the best friend you will ever have.
thank you,
grace.

Posted by: Grace at May 16, 2008 9:40 PMWhy animals are friends, not food? Easy. They are just like us. And i sure wouldnt eat a human ;D
Animals are so accepting. They love you for what you are. They see straight into you soul. The bond between human and beast is unbreakable. Its truly magic to connect with another species. And besides! They give you furry hugs and wet little kisses. How could you eat something so special?

Its plain and simple nothing long and fancy animals have a heart, have meat on them, have a face, eyes etc. what else has thesse? Oh i don't know maybe humans who think they are better than everything. There's a theory that says humans were evolved from apes so we were animals once and Canibalism is illegal but u can go and kill and eat things we were once and still are related to? Animals are the same as us they have some of the same things we do. They help us and give to us being as friendly as can be but we take and take and take them kill and have the nerve to eat. Humans should be ashamed of themselves. When you wake up in the middle of the night and see all the animals you have eaten in your room with a vat of boiling grease and seaoning don't scream beacuse you will get to know what that animal felt like.
"Amimals are friends, NOT food"!!!!!!!!!!!!
GO PETA
I think animals are friends not food because they were put on earth just like us humans. We do not need to eat them in order to survive. But we do anyways. We were not born with supper long claws and sharp teeth, we aren't meant to go out and kill animals with our bear hands. If we cant do it like the rest of the jungle why do it at all?

I think that back when we had to survive on meat for nutrition and to get through winter, we had to hunt animals for food. Or later on, farm them. Now I think that you should only take what you need. All animals, even insects, are friends to me. I really despise factories that produce meat products. I love sustainable living; it's the way to go. Not all animals should be seen as food. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
Posted by: Raven at May 16, 2008 10:26 PMi believe that animals are friends and not food because not only do they have feelings, or because they have all 5 senses or because they are a living breathing creature but we as people can connect and have a relationship with a furry friend. especially those kids who have a hard time talking with parents or peers its easy to have a furry friend to talk to who wont judge and will still show you all the love and affection that they can give. animals are smart, can learn things and they don't ask for anything in return except for love (and food and water). my dog pudge is the closest thing to a child that i have. i treat him like he's my own.i would never eat him or hurt him in any way shape or form. i wouldnt skin him for his coat. i could never image torturing any animal for anything. we dont go around torturing each other (well us sane ones that is) so why turn on a defenseless animal who can't speak for itself. why stoop that low. and the sad thing is no matter how bad an aminal has been tortured most of them will still show all the love and affection in the world. that is why i think animals are friends and not food.

I think animals are friends not food because I believe in the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. And I certainly would not want someone wearing my skin or hair for clothes. Or using my flesh and bones as sustenance. I believe that this age old rule should, and in my world it does, extend to all living creatures. I always think of that quote from Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Hoo: A person's a person, no matter how small. We are animals, well mammals but that is an animal group, and animals are animals. We both walk and move, love and hurt, so why not treat our fellow animals the way we desire to be treated?! That is why I take the whole Friend, Not Food message to heart, it is the way the world should be, if it were a perfect place and I am certainly going to do my part in moving the world in that direction!
peace.

Posted by: jennefer sweitzer at May 17, 2008 12:47 AMAnimals are friends, not food because unlike many people, they love us unconditionally. No innocent living being deserves to be brutally tortured and killed, just to satisfy selfish human's taste buds. I believe it is quite hypocritical to have dogs and cats as beloved companions in your home, yet think nothing of having a chicken carcass for dinner. It simply does not make sense to me why people continue to support cruelty, especially since there are so many yummy, cruelty free alternatives available these days.

Posted by: Laura at May 17, 2008 1:39 AMI think animals are friends, not food because animals have feelings. When I'm sad, my dog will walk into my room, sit on my bed and whimper. When I'm mad, he barks at anyone who comes by me. And, when im happy he is hyper and ready to play. Animals are friends, not food because they can feel pain. If you step on your dog's paw, they will whimper or yelp. Animals are friends not food because humans are animals too. Cannibalism isn't too popular, why should eating animals be ohkay? Animals are so cute, and cuddly. If they were put here to be eaten, we wouldn't have vegetables, fruits and other nonmeat food products. Just because there cows, chickens, pigs, whatever, doesn't mean they're not animals, just like your pet. I wouldn't eat my hamsters, my bunnies, my dog, or my cats. Would you? I didn't think so. What if that greasy hamburger you just ate had a name? What if that was Oreo. A cute little cow. Would you eat it then? Animals are friends not food.

Posted by: Cassandra at May 17, 2008 2:33 AMAnimals are innocent and do not have the ability to hate. They feel pain and sorrow. They have families and compassion. They only want to live life freely the way we are able to. So many animals have made their presence in stories about how they have saved the lives of people, so why not do the same and try to save their lives as well. They mean us no harm and certainly don't grill and fry us or use as coats or handbags. I love all animals and commit my life to veganism in order to help. Animals deserve the respect we give each other. They are not property, they are our friends. We have no right to sell them as meat and lock them in tight cages where they must trample over their fecies. My dream is to go into fashion for veganism and open up a nutritional vegan resaurant. besides, plants and legumes look so much prettier on a plate than a slab of cruel meat. Animals are just so cute how could you resist to care for them when they have such beautiful spirits. They are god made souls and they are all my friends from the little gold fish to the great lion. I wouldn't dare use them for my own selfishness. Animals are truly mesmorizing.

I think all animals are friends because you can't find one animal who is NOT cute or beautyful.
Just look into their eyes and see the soul, and find out that they love you just as mush as you love them. They won't hurt you unless they had a really bad experience with humans in their life.

Posted by: Catherine KingChuparkoff at May 17, 2008 10:18 AMHeartbeats are hard to ignore. So are brains, cute eyes and innocence. I can't look at the meat aisle without feeling something terrible. Many others see it like it's the candy store. I know that many humans perceive meat as a dinner plate must-have. I've live with them. They all assume I will die from "only eating salad". Why eat someone's family to please yours? Never. And I'd gladly wear another shirt to drive that message home.

Animals are our friends not our food simply because it is wrong to prey on something that is weaker than yourself simply because you can. Animals have done nothing to deserve the way they are treated.
there is a choice about living things; they are ever your foe or friend, and since animals are nobodys foes, that would make them friends and treating them in they way they are treated is not very friendly.
i am a vegetarian as the thought of eating meat makes me want to be sick, and have even quite a job as i got so sick of the site of animal blood (it was just washing dishes but still)
i am a firm beleiver that animal testing is just wrong on so many levels, as the test benefit us we should take the costs of it, not them.
animals are friends not food because we are animals too
Posted by: Linda Lansford at May 17, 2008 1:36 PMI think animals are friends, not food because they have such pure heart. Why would you ever hurt something so innocent.
girls small please :D
T-shirt Youth XL (girls) orrrrr if you guys don't have that size adult small (girls) works, too.
Animals are FRIENDIES NOT FOOD because-- well--you know--they're just like people. Think about it, eh? They have a heart, and they bleed just as we do. They feel pain---just as we do. When their family is in pain--it hurts. They love their children--just as we do. They need companionship--just as we do. They drink water--as we do--they eat food-- as we do. They breathe the same air as we do. They know when they're being neglected--as we do. They feel hurt, suffering, pain, joy, excitement, ecstasy, as we do. I would hardly eat my next door neighbor (Sam wouldn't appreciate that too much), as I would not have the audacity to eat a being so like myself in terms of being capable to feel the need for... Very human needs.
Posted by: Libby at May 17, 2008 2:58 PMThere are too many reasons why animals are friends and not food to name. First of all animals are way cuter living than when they are dead and on a plate. They are way more fun to look at when they are alive and way better listeners. you see i could go on and on about why animals a friends and not food, but that would take all day to type. thank you for your time.
Posted by: rai at May 17, 2008 3:04 PMWe all already know that animals are not food. However, in addition to being our best friends, animals are companions, soul mates, and make life worthwhile. Sometimes i believe i feel closer to animals than humans. They are the best listeners and when you look deep into their eyes, they give you the best advice. Animals will love you unconditionally and have no human flaws. They don't argue with one another over petty problems. They don't have prejudice towards different races or religions. They don't discriminate against gays. Animals treat humans equally, so why shouldn't we do the same for them? Nobody would eat their human friends, so why should the world continue to eat their furry friends? To me, animals are, or should be, treated equally to humans. You're not a cannibal, so why eat an animal? haha...Finally, animals are the best friends and advice givers i know. Animals find peace in the crazy world we live in and listen and love unconditionally. For these reasons, animals are friends and NOT food. Look into the eyes of your furry friend, and see how deep their soul is, how loving their heart is, how lovely their personality is, and most importantly, how they are the best friend you will ever have.
thank you,

everyone should own this shirt! the reason im a vegetarian is because of these few reasons:
**god put animals on this earth to live, WE are the ones who made them food,
**animals cant talk, so we have to talk for them.
**animals feel pain, love, emotions, everything we do,
animals ARE friends, NOT food! i would love to show off this sHIRT! ahaha my friends call me a hippie...
my size is xs in most stores, so xs ? im not sure, the smallest size you have will fit,
hiyas! watz up? i think that little animals r friends and not food cuz they're just too cute to eat! i mean, hjaven't you seen the pictures ofem in magazines???? like, my birdie just died not too long ago and i was so sad! i loved to pet him and even tho he screamed like all the time, (and tried to bite me a few times) i kno he luved me! same with my cat! he likes to run off alot. maybe he met new friends. he also gets along with my dog too. my dad was thinking of getting chickens and wen they're grown, eating them! i think that's horrible! that's like eatin your cat, or your dog or your bff at school!!! so i thought maybe we could just keep 'em and let them live or give them to a farmer so they could live a happy life(not getting eaten.) kewl, right? i mean, animals are soo nice to you too! they always wanna be with you and wait for you at the bus stop wen you get back from school, and they never make fun of you, so why would you kill them just cuz you're hungry? they don't eat you, so why do people eat them? they're just like us. except in little furry or scaley or feathery way.
so this is Brianna Penn telling why i think that animals are our furry little classmate and not on our dinnerplate.

Posted by: rebecca at May 17, 2008 7:14 PMAnimals are friends, not food.
Why?
For the simple reason that they feel. Just as us, they have come to love, fear, laugh….
Because someone that cares about their own family isn’t food.
If a chicken covers his chick with her wing, that makes her a friend and not food.
If a cow volunteers her time to baby-sit an other cow’s son that makes her friend not food.
If a pig has the capacity to think just as much as a three year old kid, that makes her friend, not food.
If a turkey enjoys having his feathers stroked and listening to music that makes him a friend and not food.
If a goose mourns for a significant time when his mate dies, that makes him a friend and not food.
If fish are sensitive, if they have personalities, if they have a great memory, that makes them friends not food.
I can go on, and on. The final thought is, animals feel. They cry, scream, and fight for their lives in the horrible factory farms.
ANIMALS ARE MY FRIENDS,AND THEY ARE NOBODY’S FOOD.
PETA2 thanks for all the ways you inspire us.

Animals are friends and not food to me because I have connected with my dog so strongly. My dog was abused as a puppy and only has one eye, and since the day I got him and saw how cruel people can be to animals, I haven't touched meat since. I am 14 years old, and I started my own organization in Maryland for teen vegetarians.
As Shania Twain once said: "I think there's something odd about eating another living anything."
She was right.
It is not right that animals should be eaten, used for products, or be tested on.
People dont eat people, and we are meat too.
I believe that animals are friends not food because:
+Animals have brains too, and they should be respected as their own individual.
+Animals also should be respected because they dont desurve to be eaten, or used for products,leather etc.
+Animals have feelings too! they were made to live and have a good long life, not to be totured then die, just like that.
+Animals are very loyal creatures, they should not be placed in zoo's for the public to gawk at them all day long.
Every living thing desurves their own life, and to be free.
Moby once said:
"There are viable (and usually better) alternatives to the use of animals for food, sport, clothing, & experimentation."
I believe he is very correct,there are alternatives for food/products, such as morningstar for example.
It is an alternative to meat, tastes amazing, and doesnt hurt the animals one bit.
In conclusion,
I believe that animals are friends not food because they were put on this earth, just like us, to live their own life.
There is much more healthier, better food for everyone to eat than meat/dairy products, that will make everyone live a better, longer life.
I just wanted to state my opinion and show the world what i believe.
i hope in the end, that if somebody reads this, and is moved by it, then i have made a difference.

Posted by: shannon kemp at May 17, 2008 8:41 PMI think Animals are friends because they have same rights as we do and they deserve the right to live and be free they shouldnt have to suffer for or enjoyment we would like it if the animals started eating us so thats why i think animals are friends because they are equal to us no matter how small they are they should be able to have same rights as us and they shouldnt die just beacuse someone wants a burger!!!!!
oh im a Large!!!
I think that animals are friends and not food because they are just awesome creatures! It's fascinating how they can love and depend on one another, just as we do. And anything that is like that shouldn't be eaten... plus they love us back and are there for us when we need a friend :]. Animals are the greatest... from the tiniest mouse to the largest whales they are all sweet creatures and deserve to be treated with love :]]].

Posted by: Leah at May 17, 2008 9:15 PManimals are friends not food, DOI@! WE SHOULD ALL PROTEST ON ANIMAL RIGHTSS!!^^
animals have rights too.
if animals could speak in our language i bet they would have a serious word to say though thats the thing they cants and we know how they feel, when they get slaughtered and what not.
Its not fair and for all iv heard so far that in Canada its band slaughtering animals i don't believe and of this its a lie as we know it.
The point is animals are mammals right? and were mammals right? YESS WE ARE AND THEY ARE!
so they should be treated exactly the same way no matter how they look and speak they are mammals like we too.

Posted by: Danielle B at May 18, 2008 11:21 AManimals are friends, not food, because they are simply amazing creatures. everyone one of them unique and beautiful in their own way. like the way they have adapted to life in the wild, or how a house cat purrs when they see you, it is all breathtaking. animals make life worth while. i could never imagine living in a world without all of these amazing creatures around. animals are kind, they don't get into ridiculous fights like humans do over nothing. animals don't discriminate against race, sexual preference, or anything else for that matter. just look at them, they bring a peace and beauty to this world that most people don't understand. they all feel just the way we feel, but just because we can't talk to them, doesn't mean they should be tortured. i love all animals, i just honestly feel that they are the most magnificent things on this earth, and they don't deserve ANY of what has been brought to them. those are some of the reasons why i feel they are friends, NOT food. i would put down all the reasons, but i would be here at least all day.

Posted by: Karen Gonyea at May 18, 2008 12:45 PMAnimals are friends, not food because they have a heart and emotions. I hate it when people say that pets have no emotions, my mom told me that when I went away to sleep away camp for the first time 2 years ago that my dog was so sad and he refused to eat almost the whole time I was away and a while after I came back. I missed him a lot also, Lucky is one of my best friends. I could never eat an animal and look back at his cute little face with the attitude "that's different" which is what people tell me when I explain that Lucky is one of the reasons I became a vegetarian. He is just like me; stubborn, clumsy, and a little crazy. Animals are just like people, they should not be eaten.

Therefore it is only common sense to treat our fellow earthly companions with respect and dignity, and not kill them for food and profit in cold blood. Animals are definitely friends, not food.

Posted by: Alicia at May 18, 2008 3:50 PMAnimals are friends not food because, they were here before us. They have more right to be on this earth then us. They have never done any harm to us.

They have feelings, a heart and brain just like us. How would you feel is somebody was about to kill you?
Animals also breathe and every time you eat meat, there is one more less animal that somebody loved that have taken his last breath. Love animals, they want`s to be our friends. They are not made for eating or producing or for touthoring. Let`s make the world a better place, and stop eat our friends.- Maggie.

I think animals are friends because animals have just as much of a life to live as we do. They have feelings, don't you notice dogs emotions when a person leaves them? They do have souls, they're animals but they're just like humans. If they can't stand up for themselves by telling people to stop slaughtering them, somebody has to. And we vegeterians, vegans, and activists and anti-animal cruelty are the people to stop it. Those animals have faces, and they should be able to live until they die, just like us. They have a brain to think and to learn, and they know it's not right that they get killed for someone else! It's cruel the way how those slaughter houses kill them. They're poor, defenseless creatures. I know, here's an idea, how about we slaughter some humans insanely? Oh that's right, we would all be put it jail for murdering someone. Well you're murdering poor animals and everyone thinks that's okay. Shouldn't murder be okay too? That's something to think about. Everyone says, "Oh animals don't know what they're doing." Yeah, they're a whole lot smarter when they start yelping because someone's breaking their legs and cutting their heads off because humans are dumb and don't know how to live on vegetables and fruits and crackers and everything else thats MEATLESS. Animals warn us of danger like rain and floods and natural disasters, they help us more than we help them. We can only thank them enough by giving them a home and shelter and food and not to kill them.
Posted by: kAtiE at May 18, 2008 4:34 PMIt's not NORMAL to eat an animal! To me it's completely WRONG. It's like eating a baby. They might not be able to speak but that doesn't mean they deserve to be tortured and killed. Animals mean so much to me, which is why I've been vegetarian for 3 years and slowly turning vegan. I am planning on being a veterinarian solely for the reason of helping animals. I can't bear to see them suffer or to be hurt. It hurts me greatly to see them in pain. Look into their eyes and you can see their passion or pain.

I was so low, and no one cared/understood, but mostly no one knew. Except for my best-est friend in the world, my cat. He would come up to my room, cry outside the door 'till I let him in, then he sat in my lap, and just made sure I wasn't alone. To this day, me being so much better, he still comes and checks up on me when he thinks I may be low, or when I've been in my room too long.
He never judged and I will always love him more than I can express.

Wow. What are my chances,
Any ways,
Animals were put on the earth for a reason. Human companionship. Not FOOD. I wont even get all religious now. Animals arnt just smart, but intelligent. Im not going to say all animal abusers should go to hell, but they need some sense talked into them. If they go to hell, then thats one less person to help get the animal rights back on track. Animals have their own way of talking to us. Dogs have the wagging tails, cats with the purring, shoot, even my snake gets excited when he sees people. Animals dont give their life for us, we take it. They dont go "Oh, sure! Ill die for you so you can have a fur coat! By the way, throw in my family while your at it!" Heck no. Animals are amazing creatures that respect the earth and others. Theres alot to learn from animals that could make humans a better species. Heck, the earth worked PERFECTLY fine with out us here. Why destroy its creations?

Posted by: Maranda Morton at May 18, 2008 10:48 PMAnimals are friends (not food) because they help us and we should also help them. They never try to hurt us so we shouldn't be killing poor innocent animals just for our needs. A lot of animals are friends to us, like dogs. Dogs can save peoples lives and they are very smart. If people wouldn't kill their dogs for fur or food then they shouldn't wear any other animal or eat it. A lot of kids have pets and sometimes a pet can be someone's best friend.

i just said why! because they're so friendly. they never mistreat us intentionally and they love unconditionally. pets run away because they dont like being trapped in a cage or backyard, not because they dont love us. we dont have any right to harm them, since they never harm us, even when they do have the chance.

Posted by: jana at May 19, 2008 9:41 AMIS it really nessesary to kill animals and take away their freedoms so that we can have ours? Sure, god gave humans control over animals and the whole earth. But he didn't tell us we can tourture them and beat them. they still deserve their freedom to live. Why do humans have the right to live freely as it is made a law for equal opportunity and freedom. Shouldn't animals have that right too? I love animals and it hurts to see them have to die so we can live. Try to see into there head as a perspective not into their accual physical brain. The animals saved by vegetarians are out there right now living their lifes. Animals do not live to die!!!

Posted by: shambreia at May 19, 2008 1:02 PMThere are so many reasons why animals are friends, not food. First of all, animals cant offend you, or hurt your feelings. They are always there for you when you need a friend. They are never too busy to give you love and attention. They accept you for who you are, and they NEVER EVER judge you! Animals are never too embarassed to show how much they love you, and they ALWAYS forgive you when you've made a mistake. There's no grudges, jealousy, revenge, or hate. Even though some humans mercilessly eat the flesh of our friends (animals), you dont see them attacking humans for the sake of vengeance. Why on earth would someone want to eat their FRIEND?!?! its CRAZY! what have the animals ever done to them?
Secondly, animals are cute and cuddly. Just like babies! babies are friends! you wouldnt eat a baby, would you? I DIDNT THINK SO! =0.
So that is why animals are friends, not food.

XL. They love us so much and show us such loyalty. Ever look deep into your dog's eyes? And how much they love you? Or watch your fish as they come to you to be fed because they rely on you? Why not other animals as well. Now I am sad. Thinking about the polar bears and all the other animals we have and are still betraying.

I've often heard it said by folk
Who relish eating meat,
'The animals were put on Earth
For human beings to eat'.
Well if God made them just for us,
Explain it, if you can,
Why they arrived one hundred million
Years ahead of man.

I think animals are friends and not food because they were put on this earth to be our friends not our meal in our plates. they are awesome and wonderful creatures that have feeling and a heart just like we do. they want to live just like we do they are not ment to be eaten they are ment to be in our lives and make the world a much happier place. =D
First of all, my shirt size is medium please :]
And second, i think that animals are our friends, not food because animals have so much to provide. They're like humans in a way, except for the fact they walk on their hands, as well as their feet. They can give you happiness and loving just as much or even more than a human being! And also, the best part about animals is, you can tell them anything and not have to worry about them telling anyone else. It's like eating my dog daisy, sometimes she makes me mad, but i couldn't imagine my life without her! She's one of the greatest friends i've ever had :)!

Animals are "friends, not food" because nothing deserves to die miserably for the sake of others manipulations and purposes. Life is amazing, why should anyone or anything have to die for a cause they don't whole-heartedly believe in?

animals are friends and not food because you wouldnt eat you best friend would you? if yes then you got some problems...lol. its worng to eat something that feels pain, especially if they are put through so much of it before they die. i jut dont really see the point in eating an animal when you can eat something that is better for you, and that is less cutier. i cant imagine eating my pets...they are my babies. and i cant imagine eating someone elses baby either. they wouldnt eat mine so why should i eat theirs ya know?
Posted by: Taylor Ramirez at May 19, 2008 5:56 PMIt's obvious; animals are bright, thinking, emotional creatures just as humans are. And to condemn them to a life of hurt and pain is immoral, wrong, and a shame to the human race. We're supposed to be the smart ones, but I don't see the mentality used in today's world.

animals are friends and not foods because we are all animals and it is just as unethical to eat, exploit, torture and murder other animals as it is people of our own species. i love all animals, and feel that we each have the obligation to help those who are unable to help themselves (animals of other species as well as people who cannot defend themselves!) and that can be as simple as wearing a t-shirt that spreads that message so other people start thinking about helpless animals too.

Animals shouldn't be food because animals are living things just like people. People don't eat other people? If they did they would go to jail and it's totally not normal. If someone eats an animal it's all fine according to the law. But i think it is just cruel and unusual. Animals deserve to live just as humans do.

Animals are the best thing in my entire life. Why would you eat your best friend? I wouldn't. Animals are my best friend so why eat them? My animal friends mean the WORLD to me, and without them I'd be a complete wreck. Animals aren't just friendly, but smart too. And just because you CAN kill something doesn't mean it's right.
Posted by: Susan at May 19, 2008 6:19 PMWhy should animals be friends, no food?
Point one: Animals are living creatures. They feel pains, they have emotions, and they are inteligent. They cry, they scream, they get hyper and excited, and so much more. They are almost the same as us, so why do we want to kill them for our pleasure?
Point two: How would we feel if someone came up to us and killed us right on the spot only to cook and eat what's inside of you and to wear your skin because it's fashionable? Fist, it would be creepy. Second, it would be wrong. Thrid, it would feel discusting to us, right? What's the difference with an animal?
Point three: There are alot of diseases you can get from eating meat, including a certain type of cancer. Also vegans and vegetarians rarely have heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc.

T shirt size = The bigger the better. I like to wear baggy tops.
i think animals are friends instead of food because they are just like humans... they have minds, and hearts. we wouldnt like it if someone bigger and stronger than us came along and started to kill us and eat us! they feel the same way... but they cant protect there selves... and it is incredibly sad.. i wish i could put an end to it. and i am begining to win my friends over to the cause. it is horrible

"Animals are friends , not food"
I think eating Animals and animal cruelty is extremely disgusting and cruel , because whether it's an Animal or a human , it's still a living creature , and it's still wrong. There have been laws made against killing people , so why are there no laws against killing Animals ? It's just extremely inhumane and unfair. I know I wouldn't want to be one of those poor innocent creatures , awaiting for my death to come , I don't think anyone would.
I believe killing an animal such as a chicken or a cow , is the exact same as killing your own dog or cat and eating it. There's no difference between them , they're both animals. Just as humans and animals are both living creatures , just different on the outside , but the same on the inside.
Animals are not to be eatin' just as humans are not. Animals are companions and friends. Animals have always kept people company and were there for us when we had no one else to turn to , for some animals are they're best friends.No matter what type of Animal , they still matter.

Animals are friends not food because all living creatures have a spark of the divine in them.
animals are friends not food because of the simple fact that they are living beings. although we are the dominant species, we still need to respect those who are weaker and cant fend for themselves. having such modern day technology and choices, youd think that the smartest species would resort to the not only healthier, but kinder food choice. if we're so great, youd think that we would choose the food that doesnt start and end with bloodshed. its not right and its not at all fair. going veg saves lives and greatly reduces the pain of beings worldwide

All animals are friends, not food because they are wonderful creatures! I have been looking at it with a more spiritual perspective lately. When you show compassion toward animals you feel a sense of harmony within the world. By allowing animals to have the freedom to live their lives we are bringing them the peace they deserve. As a result this brings us peace because everything in the world is interconnected!

Posted by: bobby chie tagac at May 19, 2008 9:49 PMAccording to Finding Nemo, "Fish are friends not food," but in fact, all animals are friends. Animals don't eat people, so why do people eat animals? Just out of the cruelty inside of them. Animals are friends because they really are always there for me, if there's no one to talk to or I don't feel like being around someone, I just hang out with my cat. He's the bomb and no one is as understanding as he is, because he can't talk back . I would have to say that my cat is definitely my best friend. :D

Posted by: Stephanie at May 19, 2008 9:59 PMthe most important reason animals are friends and not food is because we can lesrn from animals. they're care free and don't get stressed(unless they're at a slaughter house*shivers*). Animals love unconditionly and don't hold grudges and a lot of humans need that mindset. we should respect animals NOT eat them. i'm a ladies medium thanx.
Posted by: jessi at May 19, 2008 10:03 PMmedium
and because they are your best friends, could you imagine eating your best friend?
animals are friends not food for the only reason that at the end we are all animals, different species, but we are all the same. as we do, they feel pain, joy, sadness and every kind of emotion you might feel. so if it would hurt you if someone would cut your throat while you're still alive, what makes you think they don't feel that same pain? they do, that's why they are equal to us...
animals are friends because an animal won't hurt you just because (ironic how humans do hurt each other with no reason, and we're supposed to be the 'civilized specie'), they are friends because your dog/cat/etc. will be there for you at any moment, specially if something is not alright.
animals are not food because they are living creatures, just like you, like your friends, your son, brother or sister. Not one of us (i believe)would eat our relative, as your father wouldn't eat you, as you wouldn't eat your neighbour. why to eat a cow? you wouldn't eat your pet..

I think animals are friends
because they care for you
they can be attached to you and to other things and other animals.
Fruits are also living and growing but they cannot feel or think, as animals definitely can.
They're not food because killing something living, like a human, is illegal.
and looked down upon.
But torchering animals and killing them to EAT when you don't actually NEED to do such a thing, is viewed as normal.
Thanksforlistening :P

The reason I believe animals are friends, not food is because we were all like them once. Humans have evolved through-out time to become what we are today. We are not better or superior to any human because of equality mind-frames so why are animals any different? Animals should have that equality as well. We should consider them as equals with souls, emotions and families. They have every trait we have and you wouldn't eat your best friend.

Posted by: mary at May 20, 2008 1:42 AMGod, Buddha, Allah, Science, whoever or whatever you believe created this world one thing is indisputable, we were all created equally with equal rights. Up until humans found fossil fuels the food chain was running smoothly and we all managed to live in harmony. Today we are a 6 billion strong killing machine. We are killing our planet, we are killing each other, we are breeding millions of animals a day just to kill them. Animals have as much of a personality as any human, even more so then some people that I've met in my life. I would rather spend an afternoon in my room with my kitten then someone who doesn't appreciate the innocence and loyalty of animals. We have too much power as a species, the most power that any species has had since the planet was born billions of years ago. With that power comes a great responsibility, this responsibility is grossly neglected. shirt size youth med.

My reason for knowing that animals should always be friends, not food is for that simple sentence. My animals have always been my friends... they don't judge, they won't ever stab you in the back; all they do is love you and yearn for that same love back. So, why on earth would someone take the life of another? Not just any being, but something as sweet as an animal, who isn't able to say stop when things hurt.

I've been an animal lover since I was in the womb, no joke haha. Since I was little I would always bring home stray animals, and of course get in trouble for it =P, but my puppy eyes technique worked every time hehe. I think abusing animals in any way, including mainly killing them just to eat their flesh, is just utterly wrong. Most people are very ignorant to the fact that humans are animals too, and the only thing that separates us from any other species is that we can talk and our limbs exist so we can be the "dominant species" or whatever crap people say. I personally don't think we're the dominant species on this earth because animals were here long before we were, yet they suffer because humans discovered eating meat and killing animals as hobbies. It's pretty sick if you ask me. In my own home even when I have to give away a pet I cry because I don't want that.
Basically if an animal dies, I die right along with it. It's the circle of life for me.

Posted by: Erin at May 20, 2008 11:05 AMAnimals are ment to be beside humans and not inside them. Just because people believe that we top the food chain does not give us the right to slaughter animals to eat/wear. Animals should not have to die for humans sake, they deserve to live amongst us and befriend all of us. If we place humans in a mind set as they play the animals and the animals are humans then maybe they would see that what they are doing is wrong and that animals should not have to die for them.Animals are not food, they should never be considered food ever. Animals are a man's best fried, a childs heart and soul they make the world complete and without their presence what would we have...

I Wouldn't eat my cat, dogs, or my ferrets, all of them are my best friends and I wouldn't hurt them... so why should I eat a cow, pig, or chickens.

animals are friends. that's the basic thing. for example, a DOG. duh. once it joins the family, it's practically a member. i know that for sure because of my family's 3 pet dogs. we adopted 1 and found 2. when we first got them, they were like newborn children. but as we grew with them they became emotionally attached and were with us everywhere. they are our friends. i read from an article in my star testing booklet about how dogs and pets are more reliable than friends. when a relative deceased, the dog comforted the owner. the dog stuck along side the owner through thick and thin. one part of the story was when the owner became bankrupt and lost all his belongings; his wife and children left him. but the dog stuck with him, he eventually regained his money, but the dog didn't make it; he apparently died of old age. well the owner used his fortunes for his dog's memorial stuff. yeah. well although this story is most likely fictatious, it really shows the companionship between a human and an animal. okay that's all. ANIMALs ARE FRIENDS, NOT FOOD.

My mom and I would be shopping in the grocery store, at the local Ukrops, or Food Lion, I would be literally barking, and when people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up I would always say I wanted to be a dog. Ever since then, my love for animals has grown tremendously, I love and care for them so much. I always try to help out my enviroment, my community, and most importantly the animals. Because without animals on this earth, we wouldn't have alot of things that people take for granted today. I believe that animals are friends not food, because to eat another being is morally wrong for me personally, I don't know about the rest of the population. Eating another animal to me, is like eating another soul god put on this planet, consuming their soul, and being, and to me, slicing and dicing up a chicken or a cow, is just as wrong as killing a person and slicing them up and putting them in a meat grinder, to be mass marketed or mass produced at some McDonalds, or Taco Bell, to be another slab of meat on the dinner table. Animals have emotions too, it's not just people and I suppose alot of us take for granted all the beautiful things in the world such as animals and water, and fish, and all the other creatures, because its not just us humans who have feelings. I suppose once upon a time, people had to eat meat for survival because their crops were bad, or soil was poor, and other things about their enviroment, but we don't have to be that way today! We can change the way people think about animals, and the rest of their enviroment. Instead of hurting an innocent animal, or have them tortured at a meat factory, crammed into closed conditions, wallowing around in their own fieces, pumped full of steroids and antibiotics, only to be ingested by people who eat meat, instead why not choose a friendlier option such as tofu, or soy, or fruits, and vegetables? They are a much healthier, safer, alternative to eating meat. Now, the question I propose to you is this: Why let animals suffer, when there are better, healthier, safer, options?
You do not have to support the meat industry, a cruel industry who only puts themselves forward, while they shove animals needs back to the end of the line. Animals are forced to be slaughtered, brutally hurt, and put into poor conditions, for the sake of another meal for another person. It has also been proven that mad cow disease has come up from cows, eating other cows, well this is strange, correct? It really is! Why would the meat industry do this to cows, put other cows, into their feed, to be consumed by other cows, and it's like a vicious cycle! It needs to be stopped and I think that people can stop this, if they just stood up and said this is wrong! If enough people stood up to the mea industry to get better conditions for their animals, not feed other animals to new animals, and if they must kill them, do it humanley please. This is why I oppose KFC so much, is because they kill their chickens so inhumanley, and unjust, that it just sickens me to think how people can really spend their money at a restaraunt that can do that to their animals! So why let this injustice continue? Why let animals die to be just another meal? We can all work together to stop this cruelty! It's just like in the Wizard of Oz, we have to open the curtain and expose them for the fraud they are, and with your help we can all do it together. Don't let this continue.
Heys.
Them t-shirts are adorable so guess whos writing a comment :)
Well i think animals are friends and not food because you keep an animal as a pet. They adore and love you and make you feel safe when your alone. Animals eat, sleep and live just like us...and yet it is illegal to eat us..because thats cannibalism my dear children :]
Animals are cute and cuddly and make you happy and smile when you look at them.

Posted by: Clare Hogarth at May 20, 2008 2:59 PMAnimals are friends not food for many reasons. They give you great companionship when you are sad or alone. They don't disrepect you of judge you and will always be there. Why should they have to suffer just for the pleasure of ignorant and gready people to eat?

Posted by: Charlee at May 20, 2008 3:14 PMas you do not wear any else´s skin, you should not wear animals skin either - and as you do not eat your human friends, you should not eat animals either.
there is no bigger joy than having a "relationship" with animals, they heal our souls, they can be best friends. we should treat them like that.
Posted by: Lenny at May 20, 2008 3:26 PMAnimals are God's creatures and we don't kill God's creatures. Besides, meat sucks!

I think animals are friends not food because they are so delicate and beautiful and loving. When you look into an animal's eyes, you see things that you never thought you would see. They have emotions and feelings and they're so aware of the world around them. You know the whole 'innocent until proven guilty' thing in court? Well, what did animals ever do to deserve the penalty of death? Exactly... nothing.
Animals can't speak up for themselves, that's why we're here. They aren't here to be eaten; they're here to be loved and cherished. They're like your very best friend. Would you eat your best friend? Yuck!
Think about it. Animals are living and breathing, just like you and me. Imagine standing in line for the slaughterhouse... it's like Death Row. They know what's going on, but they just can't say anything! We're their voices. And my voice says 'ANIMALS ARE FRIENDS; NOT FOOD!'

animals are friends not food because they can love, feel cry and hate just like us. they feel pain, fear and terror like us STOP THE MURDER!!!
animals are friends, not food because they are just like us. they play, they laugh, they cry, they feel pain, theyre there for one another; just like humans. we dont want to be caged up, taken away from our parents, and forced to live at factory farms, so why should they? they treat us with respect and kindess, so we should do the same. :) friends are the best friends we could ever ask for.

Animals are friends, not food. Just because we can't communicate directly, does not mean you can't have a relationship with one! Animals have thoughts and feelings, just like everyone else. Slaughtering animals without them having the choice is wrong and disgraceful.
I wouldn't eat an animal, just as I wouldn't eat my coworker, class mates, or friends. I'm not a cannibal. I consider animals on the same level, or sometimes higher (depending on the person), then human beings. I'd rather starve to death then eat my puppy. Why shouldn't it be the same for cows, fish and chickens? Animals are friends, not food.
In short, I'm not Hannibal Lecter. =o)

Posted by: Roxanne at May 20, 2008 4:51 PMAnimals are friend not food. I think it is terrible the way animals are being treated today. If i could, i would adopt every animal i can. I recently saved a pitt bull from dying because her owners kept her OUTSIDE from BIRTH! they did not get her her shots or take her to the vet at all. I feel bad because the other puppy died two weeks later of not having the right care. I Feel animals are friends not food because they breath and they feel. They are capable of being scared. They are capable of being happy. Animals do not deserve to be ate, abused or anything else. It really hurts me when i get online and read about the stories of animal cruelty. It also just motivates me to reach out and do all i can to save them. This t-shirt would only help me to start conversations with people i meet more easily.

I think animals are friends, not food. I encounter animals sometimes, and I have different pets. I used to have pet rats, birds, and hamsters. It scared me the fact when Someone told me in different places they ate them. How could someone do that? Then it led me to other thoughts... what if the animal you made friends with happen to be your dinner the next day? I went to a cattle ranch once and met all the cows, later to find out they would eventually be... in someone else's stomach. Thats like having your best friend, your dog Spot, growing up with you and you knew eventually it would be somebody's food. I think that us humans should leave the level of meat-eating and leave that to the natural world. I learned so much from you guys! Like the fact that cows go through heck to produce milk and they're weak and sad and the milk is probably full of crap anyway (eww.) That is terrible. Also, about the milk thing, that we're like the only species that naturally drinks another species milk. Yeah, I say we're better off being friends with them. We don't own them, and it's not right to MURDER.
Thanks,
Amanda

Animals are friends not food because we are meant to be vegan-eaters, we have FLAT teeth, and if you've studied dinosaurs or have had a good science class, you'd see my point.
Also,so many people believe that animals despise the humans or just are attracted to us in a murderous way. WRONG, the animals wouldn't hurt us if we let nature take its course and if we'd stop endangering their homes, after all, Who would want a wild bear as a pet? Lord, that'd be a hell of a job. Animals are simply meant to be human-kinds companion, take the Native Americans for example. Yes, they ate meat. But they never wasted ANY part of an animal. But look at us today, we waste so much animals it's not even humorous. Also, the Native Americans bred wolves, and horses, and wild birds to become pets and family. Companionship is what animals are here for. Even history supports this view (Native Amer.).
Now let me ask you a question,
Now do you understand?

Animals are friends, not food because it is ridiculous to believe that we are superior to animals. There is absolutely nothing that makes us better than them. They feel pain, they feel sadness, they feel scared. They feel the same emotions and feelings as us, except there are no human factories where we are tortured, killed, and wrapped up into little packages. It used to not be as cruel as it is today, but people are more selfish and don't care about feelings of other humans or animals, and do whatever it takes to make more, more, more money. Why is it that the Holocaust attracts to much attention, and it is looked at as such a horrible thing but is it not clear that the same thing is happening right this moment? Animals are kept their whole life. Their WHOLE life. Not just a couple of weeks, months, years. Why is this not such a horrible thing? And why is it still going on? People who eat meat usually don't know what exactly they are eating, or what that animal on their plate had to suffer just to become their meal. So they like to remain ignorant instead of feeling guilty. Or some people feel bad but don't want to give it up, or just take fun in killing animals and find it funny. Some people have said to me "People have been eating meat since the earth was created." and "God put animals on this earth to be eaten." THEIR POINT IS TO BE EATEN? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? So, just because things used to be a certain way, that means we can't change it? We can't invent new things and improve old things to keep ourselves and the earth healthy? Eating animals is not only cruel, but it's disgusting. Eating flesh, muscle, fat of a living creature? More people should be informed about what is going on to produce what is on their plate, and I think that will change their mind. It changed mine.
Posted by: ashley at May 20, 2008 6:09 PMI like to think that all living beings are tied together-literally tied by something like a string, or maybe we're all holding onto each other in an elephant-like fashion.
The thing we hold onto is our souls, and our souls are one when we are at peace with each other. But you can't exactly be at peace with another being if you eat them.
When you eat another being, you cut off not only their soul from the chain but your own.
Your body and soul are not at peace when alone and cut off from your friends. We are all social in nature and need to keep the connection. Animals are our friends; your friends don't want to see you suffer so why cause them to feel pain?

I think that if humans, which are also animals, have rights, why shouldn't they? I wouldn't eat a human or my dog, so why would someone else eat a cow or a pig? It's not fair for them. They feel too. We're all animals, and we all have rights, not to mention feelings. Animals cry, and animals have families. I wouldn't feel too great if someone ate my sister or my mother. Who would do that to someone?
Animals are not food because putting dead flesh in your mouth is weird.
Putting a chicken's period in your mouth is weird.
Putting lactose full of pus cells in your mouth is weird.
Because you wouldn't eat your own species' dead flesh.
Animals are not food because eating them is unnatural, freak like and WEIRD!

Animals are living breathing creatures just like humans are. My cat is one of my best friends. She's always there for me when I'm upset and she really does try to comfort me and make me feel better. Animals are more caring than some humans I know! That is why I believe animals are friends, not food.

Posted by: Amanda at May 20, 2008 6:47 PMAnimals are friends because duh, they're living creatures. Why would you eat something that has a life, a family, something that can feel pain just as well as we can? And dude, why is eating something DEAD 'good' and 'tasty'? Ew.
I wouldn't eat my pet cats. Why would I eat a chicken? They're the same thing. Animals are animals, and they deserve the same rights. Killing and eating cats is illegal, but it's okay to kill and EAT a chicken? Where is the fair in that?
Animals can't speak for themselves. It'sup to us to speak up for them. They don't deserve to be treated any worse than we do.

Posted by: Bree at May 20, 2008 6:53 PMAnimals are definetly friends and not food because they feel pain, emotion, and compassion towards other people and fellow animals as well. Any thing that can encompass these characteristics should be recognized as peers to our species, not things we can take advantage of and convert into food. Besides, a dog or cat's life is just as important as any cow's, pig's, chicken's and any other animal that is seen as a food product. Many people would be horrified to learn that their cheeseburger was made out of a dog or cat, when in fact it is made out of a cow which is also an animal capable of feeling pain and emotion.

Animals don't have a say in life so it's our job to be their voice. They all have thoughts and can feel fear, which should not be caused because they are being slaughtered for food!
We can't put a price on an animals life to turn it into a piece of meat in the supermarket or in KFC!

Animals are friends because they have never done anything to us, except for live. Just because something "tastes good" doesnt mean you should eat it. All animals have ever wanted to do is live just like us, with their families. If they "deserve" to be killed for food, then why not us ? People dont realize that theyre eating someones mom/dad/kid, and I sure wouldnt want my family to be slaughtered, so why should theyre be.

Why i believe animals are friend not food is not because they are "cute", but because they are alive and can feel pain. I think it's unfair how dogs and cats would'nt have to live under horribe conditions, and animals like chickens do. We would'nt go around eating dogs and cats, but chikens and cows feel the same amount pain. chickens and cows and other animals used for food should not have to live under horribe conditions just to get slaughtered. Its not fair. We can get just the same amount of protein eating veggies without the pain and suffering of poor animals. Animals have no choice whether or not to be killed. we have a choice and we can stop this nonsense!!!!

Animals are not meant to be eaten, they have there own purpose in life. If we really feel we need to kill the animals just because we can, then we really need to do some figuring out. I always put it this way; would you eat your dog? I didn't think so. Thank the almighty creator for PETA, and all of it's members.
Posted by: Claudia at May 20, 2008 9:57 PMI strongly believe animals are friends not food because they have not ever done anything horrible to us! I mean your dog is not gonna just come up to you and slice you throat and watch you die. No! Animals have always been there for us and they always put a smile on your face when your feeling down. They can sense fear too! Doesn't any of these people who are killing these animals have a heart? People should'nt have to make a living by killing! Killing an animal is just like killing your best friend. Animals deserve to live and be our friends because there just like us. They dont wanna die just so we can have some pork chops, or hamburger on our dinner plate. Animals are friends not food!! If only everyone would think this way. Then all these animals would'nt have to die for no reason. We would all be happy!!!

If you are going to eat animals then you might as well just become a canibal. We treat them like they're in a concentration camp, accept to make things worse we eat them after having injected them with poison, hung them by their legs, and whatever other cruel and unusal things our sick and twisted minds are able to conjure up on our own free time because we have nothing better to do! We say to treat others the way we want to be treated. Who says this doesn't account for animals as well?! They have feelings and emotions just like we do. Therefore we all need to stop treating them like they don't have souls that can be broken just like us...in other words animals are friends and not food.

Animals are friends not food, because they have feelings too. They live, breathe, and grow just like we do. They have thoughts and feelings. Animals, like cats and dogs, are bred for our companionship, and I don't see why any other animal should get other treatment. Why should we treat animals any worse than we treat ourselves? I love all animals, and I'll never eat one again. They're my friends, not my poison.

Animals are friends and not food because animals feel and think, not in ways that we humans can, but most can analyze a situation and be able to react intelligently. Eating another animal is like cannibalism, I mean, you wouldnt want to eat your own sibling--as much as we all would want to, we cant.
I dont mean to contradict myself, seeing as I'm not a vegetarian, I'm working my way up there-or at least trying to; But I am compassionate person, and my eyes know its wrong to eat something that's close to being my brother, or my sister, and my bestfriend.
Posted by: Reina at May 21, 2008 12:28 AMAniamls are friends not food because they have every right to be happy, alive & have the ability to live their lives just like any other creature/human. I love animals & I always have. I could never eat another animal just as I could never eat a human. Flesh is flesh; human or animal. :)

Animals are friends, not food because they can feel pain as much as we do.
Animals are friends, not food because they can love as much as we can.
Animal are friends, not food because they are the ones listening to you when you have no one else to turn to.
And the last important thing....
they do not create wars like some of our leaders do.

I think that animals are friends NOT food becuase animals are just like us they have feelings they feel scared, happy, sad, all the feelings. We should eat then we should adoure them. Would you eat a humam? I didn't think so. Its the same thing as eating a cow or a pig.

Animals are friends not food because they are us, and I mean that quite literally. Every crime we commit against anylife form is a crime against ourselves. Not a crime against our sisters, our neighbors, or our friends. A crime against ourselves.

Posted by: Jennifer Intriago at May 21, 2008 9:06 AManimals are friends, not food because we are all surviving on this planet. everything from the pigeon to a whale have as much right to live in peace, and protection as we do. Animals are not at our disposal the truth is man kind always exhausts his resources, of whatevers under his rule. We did it to women, we did it to slaves, but throughout this time the ever long sufferers are animals. When is it going to be their turn, who's going to stand up for them? They are no match for human kind as we have means of control over them (some might even suggest that we have curbed their evolutionary process) as Martin Luther did, as Emily Pankhurst did. We will do it for animals, a revolution needs 2 things time and people!

i believe that animals are friend and not food, because is so cruel to eat them, i can't believe how so many people can do that and not feel guilty about it,as human beings we have the power of make choices, but seems like all choices we make are totally wrong, animals are not just cute, they also have feelings, they're alive and taking their lives just for eat them in burgers and stuff is simply horrible, animals are friens and not food, beacuse in many ways they are so much better than humans.

Posted by: donna at May 21, 2008 10:19 AMi think animals are friends not food because they have every right to be here just as we do. we are technically animals too. if anything we get in THEIR way. sure they are good food to some of us. but we abuse the priveledge. animals have eaten us but they have not abused that. we eat them...its normal. they eat us. put it to death. thats the state of mind everyone is in. i think humans are just spoiled creatures.

Animals are friends, not food because they can love. They have personalities and intelligence and are just as deserving to live free on this planet as we are. People are so arrogant, they think animals are just their playthings. And why? Because we have a more advanced way of communicating and what, opposable thumbs? Lame.
In this day and age we no longer need to eat meat and wear fur to survive. Love animals instead and your life will be richer.

i've been a Vegetarian since i was 2: and my parents eat MEAT :P
I got tramatized by watching a cow die,
and i've never eaten meat ever since.
And im PRODUD!!!
i love animals!!! :D i have only been a vegetarian for 5 months but im glad i am. i became a vegetarian because my sister and brother are and they explained to me how bad they treat animals and how it isnt good to eat red meat and stuff like that. i am proud to be a vegetarian. i dont care what people say. i thin that meats no treat for those you eat.
Posted by: stef padula at May 21, 2008 11:37 AMBeen a vegetarian for about a year and a half now, because i love animals (i want a pet pig. No, im serious!) and because meat is kinda disgusting anyways.
First it was kinda hard because my dad isn't really that supportive of my vegetarianism and some of my family thought it was stupid but then i've always been different so i just stuck by it and i lost a stone within a month. I'm considering becoming a vegan soon as well but the transition will probably be hard. Seeing as i love icecream so much and i havn't seen any non-dairy icecream yet. I may have to check that bit out.
Anyways... yeahh. I feel amazing now and its just great knowing that whatever i'm eating hasn't suffered.
Ohh yeahh.. And Girls Medium

How would they like it if some giant came down and broke their neck, electrocuted them, boiled them, plucked them and just generally tortured them.
bastards.
Animals are like people, they can still think and feel. Just because they dont talk like we do doesnt mean they deserve to die so that fatties from around the world can shove a huge greasy burger into their mouth.

I think animals are friends because I think all living creatures are equal. I don't understand why some people look at a dog or chicken any different than themselves. They breath, feel, live and love. I just wish more people would become more understanding of our furry friends and choose not to eat them.
I think animals are friends and not food because they are living things too. You wouldn't want to eat your pet or a friend. They don't deserve to be put under those horrible conditions which can be so extreme. Animals have feelings too and when they feel pain they hurt too. You wouldn't want to be put into scalding hot water while you are still alive, so why should we put animals through that. It is abuse and just cruel. Animals deserve a life and a good life. They should be able to do the things that they would've been able to normally. They have families too and when one of their family members leaves or dies they cry too.Animals are smart and so cute! This is why I choose to be vegetarian! :)

i think that animals are friends, not food because i have two cats... and basically all my friends have some kind of animal for a pet. and the last thing i want to do is picture them being on my plate. i love animals practically more than anything. they're so adorable, why would i want to eat them? that's dumb. which would explain why i'm a vegetarian. nothing makes me more sad than thinking about what happens to all these animals before they're served on a plate to people. ughh.

Posted by: shaunna at May 21, 2008 3:40 PMAnimals have feelings too. They bleed, mourn, etc... Animals make families, grow attached to their mates, and mourn when they die. Animals are smart; they find their food and provide it to their families. Animals are friends not food because they're just like us. They might not look like us and we cant understand them but we have a lot more in common then you'd think. GET AN ANIMAL AS A PET NOT A SANDWICH!

Animals have feelings too just like friends do. They bleed, feel pain, mourn, etc... Animals are smart; they find their food and provide it to their families. They raise their young to survive just like humans do. People dont rip the hair out of their dogs and cats, pull their teeth out, so why do it to chickens, cattle, ducks, geese, pigs, etc?! When I see an animal the first thing I think of is a living breathing organism not a sandwich.

Animals are friends, not food because they all feel emotions just like humans. People who eat meat don't understand that they have families and friends and kids that they need to take care of durring they're lifetime. What I would like to ask meat eaters is how would they like it if they went into Mr. Z's or any food store and saw human body parts laying in the fozen food isle? What is human milk or blood was used in dairy products and other things? Would you eat it? I don't think so. They all don't understand how badly animals are treated today and aren't aware of the diseases they eat every day just so they can have something 'good' to eat. It's disgusting and wrong and nobody should have too live the way animals do.
I think animals are friends, not food because animals have feelings, they feel pain they feel love they feel all the things we people feel. you can see it in their eyes, you feel the love animals return when you're nice to them. they appreciate that, animals have feelings, animals are our friends. I don't think we can eat them I mean I would never eat my friend so why would I eat my animal friends 0.0
Posted by: Charlien Verelst at May 21, 2008 4:11 PMI think animals are friends and not food because I love animals and I've been vegeterian for my
whole life because my parents were also
vegeterian so they thought me about how eating
meat is wrong. Aniamals are cute and they're
just like
us, and we should play with them and I know that
they're absoulutly better off as being our
friends, not our food!! and ehlk , meat is
discusting. All it does is killing poor animals,
there's plenty of food that other people could
eat! I love animals with my heart and I would
always do ANYTHING to save them.
Animals are so adorable and to see them get hurt KILLS me! They love you so much, I dont know why the people who do kill them and do eat them can do that, They love you automatically. Why would someone do even do that? How could they be so cruel or weird? Luckily, I told the school about my feelings and they added lots of vegeterian options to the menu like salads and baked potatos without all the vegeterian unfriendly stuff :)! (they didnt before so I used to bring my lunch!)
I also made lots of people vegeterian. Now, they enjoy being a vegeterian, I'm so happy that i'm a vegeterian and I would NEVER EVER want to eat meat. im proud of being a vegeterian cause im healthy now and enjoying life ALOT because I'm friends with anmals and I enjoy rescueing animals when they need, which is also super fun! I want to be with animals the rest of my life, and theres nothing in the world that would ever make me change. If people keep killing them, there won't be anymore animals left soon! I'm glad that alot of people actually care about them and I'm glad I don't eat meat, just thinking about eating it creeps me out! How could they do that to an animal? How could they torchere them and put them in a small and tiny cage? How could they let aniamls even suffer ilke that? Aniamls need to deserve as much as love as we do. Just because they cant talk saying "dont eat me!!" "Dont kill me!" Or things like that, they can still say it from their looks, they cry in the inside, they just can't do that to them!! Expically when they have to taken away from their mothers or their mothers. :'( When your sad and need someone to talk to you, the animals are there for you! They listen to your feelings! They've also saved our lives many times and they repay them like this? I won't do anything with meat ever! I won't even touch it, and I also love the t-shirt because it's exactly how I feel about animals, it couldn't be expressed in ANY other way! My size is a junior medium.

Well ever since i was like super little i always loved animals and i didnt really like to eat them, and then i sorta grew outta that phase but im back into it again and i just think it is disgusting because like everytime i see meat i think about like eating my dog, and ewhh i could never do that cause he is my best friend so why eat other animals?!?!

animal are friends not food because its not right to eat a living creature. when i wasn't vegetarian i didnt think about eating my best friend at school and i definately didnt want to eat my dog or hamster, its the exact same thing eating a chicken or cow.
Posted by: Melissa at May 21, 2008 5:27 PMI could try to tell you all of the reasons why animals are friends not food, but I would never finish. So I will tell you some of the reasons. No one wants to die, including animals. Animals are extremely smart and caring. They have done nothing wrong and they dont deserve to be treated like trash. The mom of a baby chicken or pig may not look like human but they still love,protect,and care for their children. The only real difference between animals and humans is that animals cant speak for themselves. They need people to speak for them. No livig creature deserves to suffer for someones meal. That is why animals are friends, NOT FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Tyler Murphy at May 21, 2008 5:31 PMAnimals are friends, not food, because they're not different than us. They have emotions and can feel pain the way we can, and you wouldn't see us eating each other! (Except for rare cannibal-istic tribes)

i don't think animals should be eaten because they have feelings too! they have a life just like us, just because they can't speak and tell us or say don't eat mean doesn't give us the right to eat them! its not fair to them and if they could talk they would say "don't eat me"
"i have a family!" how would you feel if someone ate your mom or baby brother!!

Because when I look into an animal's eyes, I just know that humans weren't meant to eat them. How would you feel if an animal ate YOUR baby? Think of how many cows died so that one person could eat one burger! That can't be humane!!!

ever scince i was a child i wasnt fond of eating or farm animalss

I think animals are friends not food because they are living creatures....you wouldn't go out and get yourself a human to eat now would you? just go up to one of your friends and take a bite out of there arm? I know I wouldn't....its just not right....they are living breathing creatures just like us....the only difference is they have 4 legs and they dont talk like we do....sometimes.....and they have fur....there fur is just like our hair.....your not going to make a coat or some type of clothing out of your hair are you? no? so why do it to them?

I think that animals are friends, not food, because they have done nothing to deserve being eaten. Animals are loving and very intelligent. They are alot like humans . . . animals feel pain and have emotions. And most of all, they need love and attention, like you give to your own family and friends. We all need to treat animals as friends and speak for those who can't speak for themselves.

Animals are friends not food because they live, breathe, and feel pain and emotions just like we do. Even though animals and humans can't communicate and aren't on the same intelligence level they have just as many rights as humans do. There's no reason to justify that animals are food.

Posted by: brianna salinas at May 21, 2008 8:41 PMI would never eat another animal becuase, like us, they were created by God. God created all living beings equal. It isn't fair for us to name ourselves superior, and kill another living creature. All life is precious, and all living creatures deserve to live. Animals are friends, God created us all equal, and as such, we are born to be friends.

Wow, its hard to find words to describe my love for animals. First of all, we weren't even made to 'eat' animals. Do we have canines? No, we have 'flat' teeth meant to chew/grind up fruit and vegetables, not chew/grind through flesh.
Its called cannibalism to eat a human, and animals are made pretty much just like us *Minus a few differences* So.... Why eat them?
Some people are under the empression that they 'cant live with out meat'. When actually its clinically proven vegetarians are healthier, and live longer than people whom consume meat, and Albert Enstine was a vegetarian.... So maybe it makes you smarter? :)
Would any one eat a kitten or a puppy? No! So... why eat a piglet, a chick, or a calf? They are living beeings that breath, think, feel, fear, and love! Animals weren't put on earth for our food source, plants where. They are meant to live a full happy healthy life, like were prevlaged to.

Animals are our friends,
wonderful gifts of Nature,
So please don’t harm even one creature;
Else they may become very rare in future,
We need to care for them & nurture.
They aren’t bad just because some are wild,
Some are even very humble & mild;
Some are scared of us, & some are not,
They are the best companions we’ve got.
Some are in the water, some on land,
Some are there to give us a hand;
So, save the animals, & don’t hurt them,
‘Cause they’re as precious as a gem!
There not just animals, there my friend.

Animals are friends not food. Animals are usually the the one thing in a persons life that will never turn there back on you and they strive to make you happy and even try to please you. They confort you in times of need and know when you need that special feeling of comfort when no one else is there beside you. A person can always find a feeling of love and care in the presents of a animal. You know they depend on you and you depend on them. Animals, not just a dog or other type of domestic pets can be a friend to anyone who opens up to them rather it be a beast of a animal or helpless, they all carry the ability to love as we do! We need to learn how to share the world with them, not eat them. The one truest friend can be found within the relationship of a animal.

Animals are friends because at the very beginning, we were all created equal. We are all God's creatures. As humans, we may be more intelligent because we have a bigger, more complex brain, but I think that the reason why we were made to be like this is because we were supposed to THINK not only for ourselves but also for the other living creatures as well.
Animals are not food because as how we would not like to be eaten by them, we should treat them the way we would like to be treated ourselves.

Animals are friends and not food because they are better than humans. They do not inflict pain on their own kind.They are earthlings just like us. They deserve to be able to live out their lives and fufill their dreams too.Like dolphins, they cry out and try to help each other when one of them is in trouble. I know humans that don't even do that. I wouldn't kill my little sister to eat so why would I kill an animal just as important. Those who kill other animals to eat are animals, those who hurt animals intentionally are animals and anyone who has the "ignorance is bliss" attitude towards that suffering these animals go through everyday are animals. They have feelings too maybe we should use or hearts instead of our wallets with the EARTH'S animals.

i think animals are friends not food because first off...the are absolutely adorable! how could someone want to eat a cute little cow or chicken and such? they never did anything to us! they have feelings just like humans, they just don't have a voice to say their feelings...so we need to be their voice and help them out by saving their lives! we can survive without meat so lets take the challenge!

Posted by: Kara Oyarvide at May 22, 2008 12:35 PManimals are friends not food because i believe they have just as right to live a life..just like us..just caus we are bigger than them does not give us any right to harm them,we dont need to eat them, there are so many more alternatives, and yet people still do,and because we cant understand animals, we feel its right??
its wrong, its really wrong, im veggie and no one else in my house is and theres like 7 of us:| so some days i live of cereal but i donts mind, id rather eat that for the rest of my life than something that had a face.

Posted by: Aisha Razaq at May 22, 2008 1:04 PMthese animals that were put on earth have as much of a right to live as we do,animals are alike human beings, they are just as intelligent, they may not be able to speak so the most we can do for them is to help them speak, and speak out loud! all animals are my friends because i love them all equally and they deserve to live and not be eaten just like everybody else.
Posted by: lyndsey diaz at May 22, 2008 1:07 PMAnimals are friends, not food, because they also have feelings and feels pain, fear and etc.How can people be so cruel... Just because of "fun" to hurt the animals or because of "tasty meat and expensive and fashionable snake skin shoes"...
I don't get it, why people love cats and dogs-"our best friends", but hates snakes, kills wolfs, cows, chickens and etc.?They can be our best friends too.If we will change our thinking, we will change our bad habbits and vices too.
The most important thing to us it's not to eat-it's to live and live friendly together with nature and animals.

I think animals are friends, not food, because animals have feelings too! They sense every feeling that humans do. Just because they cant speak for themselfs doesnt meen people can take advantage of them, and lock them up in cages and torture them, i have loads of animals, and i love them to bits! they all have there own personalities and there own cute little ways, how anyone can sit down and eat a chicken or a little baby lamb or prance around wearing a leather coat or snake skinned boots is just sick! A life for a so-called 'farm' animal must be like living in one of the saw films, imagine that watching someone infront of you, as your going along strapped down on a moving platform, having there head sliced off there shoulders, from some ferotious blade and knowing that your next. It must be so horrifying, what goes through there heads i will never know, its not fair, they dont even understand why that is happening to them, and they've probably never seen a life outside them factories, its sad, and thats why animals are my friends, because theres not a innocent living thing on this earth that desrves a fait as gruesome as that.
Animals are friends, not food because they're animals. They're not food until they've been cooked over charcoal. Which sharks would do to people if they ever figure out how to light a grill under water...or become amphibians and develop opposable thumbs.

Posted by: amy at May 22, 2008 1:48 PMAnimals are my friends and not food because of the simple fact that I see no difference in eating a person or eating a cow. All animals have feelings and are not meant for us to gorge ourselves on.

i think animals are friends not food because there living just like you and me and we shouldn't kill our friends would you kill your mom ,dad,brother,or sister i thought not thats why it's so increadibley important to not kill animals just for food!!!!
Posted by: Vikki lemke at May 22, 2008 2:09 PMAnimals are friends not food because they are the same as my human friends and should have the same rights!! And i don't eat my friends...
...generally..

There are better less brutal ways to have a meal these days. We arent cavemen anymore wo dont need to kill helpless animals for a plate of unhealthy meat! Animalns dont deserve to be killed and eaten. Its so selfish and cruel. They are all so adorable and loving and can be great companions. They are loyal and innocent. Animals can feel pain too.
I wear a girls Small.
Those shirts are so cute!!
:D
i think animals are friends, not food, because humans are animals too! all we are is evolved monkeys, so if you eat an animal then its just being like a cannibal, would you eat another human? No, then why eat an animal?
Also, if god intended us to eat animals, or at least kill them like we do, he would have put the slaughter factories on the earth for when we arrived, oh yeah we were there all along, just as monkeys!!!!!!!
So, next time you think about eating a pork chop, or a beef joint, just imagine it being one of your family, friends or one of your pets, and then tell me you can still eat it and not feel guilty...

anddd i believe that animals are friends not food because seriously, what did they ever do to you ? They are living creatures just like us. Its simply just not fair.
i believe that God put us on the earth to fill the earth and subdue it which in other words means to take care of it. He said to rule over the animals on this earth not to abuse them. He left them in our care to nurture them, spend time with them, and they are good company. they shouldn't be in harms way when they are around us. they shouldn't have to fear wether we will skin them or eat them. animals should be love just like we love one another. animals have feelings too.
give me a xxl
thank you for hearing me out. i appreciate it.

Posted by: Jennifer wiltshire at May 22, 2008 4:10 PMIn my opinion, animals are friends,not food, because they are the only 100%, truly innocent creatures on Earth. Animals deserve as much respect as anyone else. They have feelings,and emotions,like we do. Animals make our lives whole;they fill any void that we may have within us with happiness, and most importantly love. Animals don't question or criticize what we do to them. They are very forgiving. It is a shame to know that we take advantage of them, and we rob them of their happiness,rob them of their lives. How can we expect the war between men to stop,when we haven't stopped killing innocent animals? If we love animals we shouldn't be dividing them into 2 categories:"Pets", and "Dinner". Friends don't kill friends. The bottom line is: Life is Life;and we should respect everyone AND everything.Period.

I love animals, and I think nothing deserves to suffer! No matter what! Just because you can kill animals, doesn't mean they aren't smart. There are countless reasons why I, and many others here are vegetarians (or vegan :D). But really, it just seems so WRONG... Would you stick a fork in your pet? Animals deserve a chance to live--and not in cramped factories being harvested for our selfish purposes, when we CAN do without. Animals aren't food--they're friends! You wouldn't cook your friend and eat them, would you?
Posted by: Megan at May 22, 2008 4:38 PMShirt size= Large
Having four dogs makes you realize that animals have feelings, more than some people it seems. They have personalities and emotions and they're so loveable! They can make you feel better when humans have treated you like crap all day... so they don't deserve to be treated like crap. They are willing to be our friends so I say animals are friends
NOT FOOD!
Posted by: Monica Dryden at May 22, 2008 4:47 PMAnimals are friends and not food, because like our friends, they are there when you need them and are considerate of our feelings. So doesn't it make sense that we care for them in the same way? Animals are an important part of our ecosystem and everyday lives. The world would not be the same without them.

I think that animals are friends and not food because, Hey! Who wants to be tortured? Not me! And I highly doubt the animals like to either. Would you like to be killed just so people can have 5 minutes of decent food. I think not! Eating bacon, burgers, hot dogs, and chicken nuggets just aren't worth an animals life in my opinion.
Posted by: Jen at May 22, 2008 5:56 PMAll animals are friends, not food, because if there is a creator, then all of Earth is part of their creation, and eating something that has a heart and can feel pain is surely not what the creator intended us to do. It's as wrong as eating another human.

✖ Animals are friends not food because animals are living, breathing things that bleed and have emotions like human beings. Maybe not exactly like humans but they still have brains and feel pain, right? We don't find eating a human child a delicacy in a steak house, so why do we consider baby cows or sheep to be? Oh, that's right, to eat a human is immoral and wrong... geeze, what was I thinking.

I believe that this age old rule should, and in my world it does, extend to all living creatures. I always think of that quote from Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Hoo: A person's a person, no matter how small. We are animals, well mammals but that is an animal group, and animals are animals.

why you may ask?
i think animals are friends because they are loyal, smart, and most of all comforting companions.
my mom tells me god put animals on the planet so you could survive of them.
my response, then why didnt god put humans on this planet so animals could survive off of us?
she also tells me i need meat to survive...grrr
i became a veg because i would never eat my dogs and i know they would never do the same.
animals are sweet, smart and sensitive creatures that never harmed the earth and would never harm you and your feelings.

Posted by: snousha at May 22, 2008 7:20 PMJust because that they look differently doesnt mean that they feel differently. just lke us, they have emotions. the only reason that they are killed is because thay cant talk. think about it. idots who work at slaughter houses probably could not kill something that they just had a conversation with. they would not want to have to listen to the horrified words that they were saying as they were about to be killed. people are greedy. they do not care about others feelings as long as they make a profit and get a steak for diner. its disgusting.
a lot of people who would never even consider vegitarianism say that they love dogs, but how are dogs much different than a baby cow? they say that they love their children, but then they eat a chicken who loved its children too. people dont think that animals do not feel pain, but the truth that they dont want to hear is they do. So I basicly think that animals are friends not food because they have feeling they can feel pain they are just as complex and loving as some humans they would like to live too, that is why I think that animals are friends not food. Shirt size is a female Large ( cause I like my shirts big lol ) Also sorry for all of the spelling mistakes.

Posted by: Adrienne at May 22, 2008 7:50 PMI think that animals are friends, not food, because animals are our equals. They diserve respect, love, care, and rights, just like human beings do everyday. Animals have faces, feelings, and personality, unlike lumpy potatoes and dull flat leaf lettuce on a plate. Animals love, play, sleep, and eat, just like we do. Animals are not only our pets, but our friends, siblings, and children. We don't love our food like that. We form special bonds and build relationships with animals, just like humans do with eachother day to day, and I'm pretty sure you're not going to take time out of your day to snuggle with last night's leftovers. Animals respond to you and feed off your emotions. They can tell if you're in a happy playful mood or in desperate need of hug. As much you may enjoy snacking on carrots, they will never pop up with a calming purr or a happy tail wag just to make your day. Animals are always there for you. And as much you may love that veggie burger, it'll never love like an animal will. Animals respect you, and are gracious towards you, because by making them friends, and not food, they are still alive.

Posted by: Stacey Vogrin at May 22, 2008 8:04 PMAnimals are friends not food because if we get down to the basics, humans are mammals & animals too. it is illegal for us to eat human flesh, which in technicality is animal flesh, then why should eating innocent creatures be legal.
why should they live through inhumane and cruel treatemnt while awaiting their death. people humiliate animals by eating & waring them so why isnt the abuse and torture they endure at the very least prevented. unfortunaly we do not live in such idealistic conditions, so we must all do what we can in the meanwhile.
i have always felt a strong need to protect animals, but have only recently learned of the pain slughtehouse & other animals of the industry go through. that was when i decided i needed to become a vegetarian for their sake if anything. in a year my intention is to go vegan, i want to transition into it rather than overwhelm myself. i wont do any animals good, if i endanger my health in the process of an improperly planned change in nutrition.
anyways, long drawn out expleantions arent exactly neeeded, when the simplest fact is that animals feel pain & emotion. what is done to them is ethicaly & morally wrong. only some of us are aware of that fact, its are responsibilty to share our knowledge with others & enlighten them to the truth.

Posted by: Daisy at May 22, 2008 8:12 PManimals are friends not food becuase first of all animals were created for a reason, that reason is to live, and all the cold hearted people in the world who slaughter animals dont understand that animals are people too, they feel pain and they live life like we do, they dont understand what its like to be tortured and cut up into tiny peices and sold at KFC. they dont know what its like to be killed and taken away from their families that animals go through everyday. animals deserve to be all set free and should be able to live a life with their families and not get taken away or murdered. animals are the most cutest things on earth and they deserve more respect than they are getting. people are so mean to animals and use them just to fill up your stomach every now and then. animals help the enviorment and basically we are killing our helpers and destroying the earth. animals have lives too and they deserve to have more than us. if only everyone could see that. and thats why i believe animals are friends and NOT food.

I think that animals are friends, not food because, i love all animals, and i dont think any of them should be put under the circum stances that they go thru when made into food. People should relize that animals have feelings just like us, and we would not want to be chopped up and eaten would we now?! Id love to take all the animals in the world and keep them with me and make sure they never EVER got hurt. Wearing this shirt would help me protest against all meat eaters and it would also help me on when i try to convince people to stop eating meat at the local malls. Maybe they would see how cute the t-shirt is and relize that animals should be treated like all human beings. Buying all the supplies i need for protesting and holding local vegan meetings in my home town keeps me a lil tight on cash. So i just hope i can win this shirt. It would be the icing on the cake.
its not right! We are animals too! We are just like them but we look diffrent. Its not fair what they go through just so some one can eat them for a snack or dinner or something.You could be at the zoo one day and see a pig you could be eating it the next day. We are all living on earth one time why should the animals be killed just so we can eat them. What if one day one of us just decided that humans taste good we would be put through torture just like them. just like my club A.H.F.T animals have feelings too! people should not be so selfish to eat the earths cute creatures. That is why animals are friends not food!

Animals are friends and not food.
Because,
We are animals.
We dont eachother , it's wrong to eat our own kind.
We are animals with just a greater knowledge with how the world works, other animals probably share the same knowledge just cannot speak , and we are the ones who need to be there friends and speak for them ! what they have to say is important.

Whats your favourite animal? pig? tiger? catfish? any animal it is, how would you feel eating it, or seeing someone eat it? Animals have feelings, can be scared, and are helpless to large companys trying to kill them[KFC]. They need care and affection, how would u feel being skinned alive? eaten vigoriously? Its the same with them. They are friendly, caring and will help you when your down. They will listen to you, play with you and have fun with you. Sounds like a best friend, doesnt it? Thats because they are.
Freinds not Food!
Think about it. Close your eyes and imagine one day when you're out on the street and you see a homeless man stabbing a bird to death because he has no food. It's sickening, eh? I thought so. All of my life, I have always loved being around animals, mostly because they are loving and super adorable. They have so many similarities to humans. They communicate with each other just like we do and they also care for each other just like we do. One of my own friends was being abused by her father when her dog came it and bit her father, otherwise, she could be dead right now. Animals are everything.

Which means they also feel, and to torture an animal til it dies is wrong. If we torture something that is just like us, but it isn't human we get sent to jail for it? But it's different because it's a baby animal? Or a grown animal? It still has a heart beat and it still breaths. So why do we hurt it?

Peace!
Animals are friends for so many reasons. I'm probably closer to some animals than I am to human friends. I've never had to worry about a dog spreading nasty rumors, a cat stabbing me in the back, or a fish ripping out my heart. A cow is a "who." So is a pig, a chicken, or any other animal. Tofu isn't an example of a "who."
For a shirt size: I'd probably wear a female small, or man's small. It doesn't matter to me.
Shirt size: L
Whenever I hold my dog, I feel like I can't express my love to her enough. I hold her tight and scratch her belly, but I still can't really express to her how much I love her. But I think she gets it, because she always licks my cheek. Other animals aren't any different, they're loving creatures capable of feeling and holding affection toward other creatures.
A tortilla has never licked my face, and I'd be kind of disturbed if one did. Why? Tortillas are food, not friends. Animals, on the other hand, are just the opposite.
animals are defendable by human.because they are
very important objects to make our ecological

I think animals are friends not food because... Everytime i see an animal in pain it reminds me of myself and how i would like to be treated, they are them, they are all unique, i don't honestly believe that God put animals on this earth to be eaten, they have personality's and they need some lovin' just like me and you do, they don't deserve the life they have NOT chosen, so give them a choice, give them a voice. Don't let the influence of others pull you down, be above them, speak up tell a friend, the more loveeee [:D] we get the better they don't deserve to be treated like shit, Fuck the meat, you don't need it you are NOT a T-rex :D.

I have 3 kids ages 4,5 & 7...It is so very imnportant to me to teach my children compassion for every living thing. When they were infants, I had on animal planet continuously; even know we watch it more often than not.
I talk to them now about how every animal and living thing plays an important role in our environment and life. My goal is to inspire and encourage them to inspire and encourage their friends and others around them as they grow up to be positive role models/individuals that will make a difference in the lives of animals/treating them with respect, love and compassion! To own it and live up to it!

Posted by: Melody Elder at May 23, 2008 7:14 AMAnimals are friends not food because they should be appreciated for their individual personalities not what they taste like. I've spent my whole life around many types of animals: dogs, cats, horses, pigs, chickens, and goats (none of which were eaten by the way!), and I have seen that each and every one of them is different. I would definitely call myself an animal lover, and I have been proving this my whole life. I became vegetarian when I was three years old by my own choice, before I even knew what that word meant. I just knew that I didn't want to eat animals. Six years ago I switched to being completely vegan. Eating animals is disgusting and no one should EVER think of an animal as food.

We are all living on earth one time why should the animals be killed just so we can eat them. What if one day one of us just decided that humans taste good we would be put through torture just like them. just like my club A.H.F.T animals have feelings too! people should not be so selfish to eat the earths cute creatures. That is why animals are friends not food!
thankx

Animals are friends, not food. In our country, we do not tolerate children being abused, but animals are capable of the unconditional love that children are, and many people look away while they are being cruelly mutilated. As Finding Nemo wisely stated it, "Fish are friends, not food." Many people forget about fish when they go vegetarian, but fish are just the same as any other animal. Just because they aren't neccecarily as "cute," they are forgotten about. But fish can feel pain just as any other animal can. This is why I feel it's so important not to eat meat.
Posted by: Meghana at May 23, 2008 8:41 AMAnimals have compassion,
They don't care about fashion
They listen to you and do not judge,
just give a friendly,little nudge.
They are lovable and sweet,
Not just a piece of meat.
They'll never let you down,make you frown
or act like a clown.
You won't see them bigging themselves up to their friends,
an animals loyalty never ends.
So,why oh why would you want to eat,
the best friend you will ever meet.
Human beings,we should be ashamed,
of all the animals we've killed and maimed.
They are not here for our culinary pleasure,
but wonderful creratures for us to treasure.

Animals are friends not food because we are animals too! You wouldn't eat your brother would you?! I think of it as cannabalizm or however it's spelled! Animals are so cute and never do anything other than what is instinct. They can't help it so love them not eat them!!!!!!
Posted by: Nora at May 23, 2008 10:46 AMAnimals feel fear just as acutely as humans. Should we ignore their calls just because they don't speak the same language. When you eat meat you are eating their fear and that is bad karma. Also All animals have families and have someone, a mom, dad, brother, sister etc.. who loves them just as much as your family love you. Eating a dead animal is wrong in so many ways they ARE our friends not food.

Why would you want to brutaly torcher/kill a harmless animal? To satisfy your taste buds? Shame on you. Shame on any person that thinks ANIMALS are delicious. It's to the point where people would shoot a beautiful doe that is wandering through their backyard! They aren't a threat to us! They are friends, not food. I've been a vegetarian for 3 years, because I respect little piggies, fluffy chickies, and silly smelly cows [: Please, I would really appreciate that shirt, it's the cutest thing I've ever seen.
Thank you,
Mary.
animals are not food. They mean so much to this world, and this world means so much to them, why take it away from them when they don't deserve it?
They have done nothing than try to love us, and what have we shown them in return?

i'd much rather cuddle up with an animal than a hunk of meat.Animals are just like humans, no matter how much people dont want to belive me when i say that i still do.
They have families and lives.
and why would you want to kill something so cute?

animals are friends not food because they have feelings and you can play with them and they will love you unconditionaly
i would never even think of sticking a fork in my dog, or my fishies,or any animal that can provide company when ever i need it (face it, a carrot will NOT understand my problems and after a week, it will start to rot) my pets will never leave my side they are like my kids/ siblings
i can play with them and not with veggies besides...
parents always said "dont play with your food"
i think animals are friends not food because its murder ... they deserve a life too

Common sense
hugging an animal brings so much more joy and happiness and feels so much better then eating one.
how could you do that to something so cute and lovable.
i just love animals, the way they look, like to hug them, watch them play, like to feed them, i do my best do explain others why they shouldnt eat and wear animals.
i managed to convince 4 friends till now to stop eat meat and im proud of that :D
go veg !
I love animals. They're beautiful, graceful creatures. I've grown up with chickens, pigs, cats, dogs, and even the occasional goat! These animals were my friends. I could never harm them in any way. Granted chickens aren't the most beautiful birds in the animal kingdom, but they're still incredible animals. Hens have a maternal instinct, and they take care of their young. I don't think any animal should lose its mother. Pigs happen to be one of my favorites. When I was younger, my uncle's pig had babies. I became particularly fond of one little piglet that I named Boston. We would chase each other around the yard. He was such a sweet and loving friend. Since animals are my friends, I can't even imagine eating one of my best friends!!!! All people should respect animals and treat them with kindness. Animals are my friends. Not food!!!!

Posted by: Julija Petrusevska at May 23, 2008 12:40 PMI've read all of the comments above and I really think ya'll are aproaching this the wrong way.Yes animals are friends not food, because they should have EVERY inalienable right a human has.Not just because they're cute but because it is in the best interest of the animal.This is a very hard battle to fight so we have to voice they're oppinions.I don't care about the t-shirt I just wanted to put in my two cents of information in.
Posted by: Hannah at May 23, 2008 12:46 PMI believe animals shouldn't be considered a food source because we have the ability and knowledge to make and consume other substances with just as much nutritional value. I hope people start to understand more about the cruelty and neglect these animals face everyday.

i love animals because they are living,. i think everything has it's own reason to be here and i don't think that animals are here to be used as food for people. i also love animals because even though they cannot talk they mean so much when i'm in a shitty mood. i can cuddle my cat and all he will do is purr. animals do not judge us unless we are cruel. i love my cat so much. and i also love my little duckies. animals mean everything to me. i don't care if they are ugly gorgeous or whatever they always have kind intentions and we don't need to ruin their lives just 'cuz we are hungry.
i'd like to have a man shirt size small thanks.
I'm here to talk about animals and everything. I'm now ( while writing this text ) doing a French project at my school about the treatments that animal get through and have to bear. That's free cruelty and i REALLY don't agree with all of this.. this is such useless pain for them. Animals are friends 'cause they have feelings like us, people think it's stupid when i say this but how can you explain that animals get scared of needles and be attached to machines or things to do laboratory tests on them ? They have feelings, they feel the pain and they suffer when humans do test on 'em, do exploitation with them ( zoo, circus and all others ''activities'' that includes animals that aren't in their real environment ) ... i'm for animal's rights and i wanna change things.
Posted by: Kristel Boucher at May 23, 2008 1:06 PMi think animals are friends and not food because,
personaly i like to think that if animals ate us im pretty sure we wouldnt like it, i know i wouldnt... my brother made a comic about it with a cow eating a human burger and it made me think about what they tough us in elementary school "Treat others the way YOU want to be treated." i wouldnt like them to make me into a burger for unnecesary eating...i dont think they would either. i think that says enough.

I have been a vegetarian since I was 6 years old(I am 14 now.) Up until this year I was the only vege in my family. I decided to be vege by myself and since then I have been trying to help people see my views. Of course one of my biggest points is that animals should be friends and not food. When they ask why? I tell them my reasoning: "Animals are my friends because they have done nothing to hurt me and if they have hurt it was probably self defense because you were annoying them in some way. You have to remember animals can't speak any human languages (unless they have been trained to do things like "sit" or other commands)and probably don't understand most things you are doing(I am not saying animals are not smart, they are very smart!=]). So if you are say repeatively poking an animal the animal may become confused and think it is an insect trying feed off of it or just to annoy the animal. This may cause the animal to attack your finger and cause you harm. The animals hasn't hurt you on purpose the animal accidentally hurt you to protect itself. There are many situations where an animal can hurt you just because it wants to defend itself. Even if an animal has hurt you on purpose it doesn't mean it should die so you can eat it or you should hate it. So you see animals are my friends they would never do anything to hurt me. In fact when I am sad, my cat sits with me although she can't say anything to make me feel better she is always there for me. That may sound crazy but when your sad you don't want to sit by yourself. I can also go outside and run around with my dogs. The two of the run around trying to chase me. haha=]"
Animals have always been my friends and it will always be that way no matter what happens. And I will do anything I can to protect them and help humans understand them.
your fellow vege and animal friend!

I think animals are friends because God said Thou shall not kill not thou shall not kill humnans. So anyone you shouldn't kill is a potential friend. Besides when you hold an animal you can feel their warmth, their heartbeat and even see them smile. To me that's a friend not a food.

Animals are firends not food. All animals do is make someone happy when there down. They Love you no matter what you do. and they except you for who you are. So why kill them. I mean how could you do that... You couldn't kill and eat your best friend so how could you do it to animals?
I know animals are FRIENDS and NOT FOOD because if God gave creatures a brain and a heart then that creature has feelings, thoughts, and even fear. Animals have knowledge, they are smart. Animals have the ability to do many things even love. A creature made by god was not meant to be slaughtered and eaten, they are meant to live and have a life. It is god's desicion as to when that animal should die, not us humans. Animals are our friends not our food.
Posted by: Nicole Barnett at May 23, 2008 1:37 PMAnimals are friends not food because they can feel, they have a heartbeat and a mind of their own. They deserve respect as living creatures and it is unjust for us to use them as food items not caring about their suffering their lives nor their well being. Since we are the dominating specie on Earth, humans instead of destroying all other animals and even our own planet! should care and value them
Animals are our friend, we coexist with them. how can they be just food?°!
Animals are friends not food because because they can go number two just like you.
Remember: Friends don't let friends eat friends.

Animals are friends because they help you in ways that we dont even realize it. For example a dog is very loyal and they even help the blind. All animals make our lives easier, and the way how we can repay them is by not eating them as food.
animals are friend simply because vegetables are not so affectionate ... i wear junior medium size :p

Animals are friends not food because they are a part of this planet just as much as we are. How fun would it be to live on a planet where you can't hear any birds singing, can't see any bunnies, sheep or cows, just humans? The animals have feelings too. They're just like us, only fluffier. They were put on this planet for a purpose and that's not being eaten.
If a man kills a lion he's a hero, but if the lion kills a man it's a monster. Why is that?
i think animals are friends and not food because they don't deserve to be brought up for slaughter. it's not fair to them because they deserve to live and be happy and free. people that claim they need meat to survive are full of it because i've been vegetarian for years and i'm doing good. i'm growing up knowing that i'll never hurt an animal because its wrong to hurt animals just so you aren't hungry. there are tons of things to eat that don't involve the killing of animals so that's they way i choose forever.

we should make friends, not food because animals have just as much of a right to be on this earth as we do. what if the tables were turned? and animals wanted to slaughter us? we wouldnt like it. and so many people live by that famous "Golden Rule" treat others like you would want to be treated. and im sure you dont wanted to be treated like scum, tortured and than eaten. just because we're humans, and we have power, and authority, dosent mean animals dont have rights. we're animals too. And we're all part of on world we need to share. We all need to be friends, and treat the creatures of this planet with respect. like Friends, not Food.

Animals are friends not food, because they have feelings too. They have our human emotions. They're in pain wqhen they're being slaughtered. Thery FEEL things, don't just think "look at that stupid animal, wiggling around on the chain while i kill it." why do you think is going on in THEIR mind, nothing? do you think they're HAPPY to be killed for your stupid satisfaction? NO, THEY ARE NOT. ANIMALS FEEL. They're ALIVE. We know what it's like to be hurt, SO DO THEY. Don't think that they don't have feelings because they have feathers, fur, scales, etc. Just don't, you are COMPLETELY WORNG. There is more to that to animals. They Have a heart, they have feelings, they have a brain, they KNOW what's going to happen to them. Animals aren't as stupid as people think they are. They are truly human inside. They may look like an animal, but THEY ARE HUMANS! So technically, people are out there slaughtering their OWN KIND. They are not just food. They're FRIENDS. Who has been by your side when you were hurt? Your pets. LOVE THEM,








I think animals are friends, not food because they are so adorable! No matter what animal they are, be it chicken or a little puppy, they love you unconditionally. They have hearts of gold and all animals deserve to have the best out of life :)
