Free Stuff Friday: 'Friend, Not Food' Tee May 16, 2008

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 :)
I think I should get a shirt because I'm the first to comment! by the way.. i'm a shirt size small.

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 :)

I 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!

There 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!!

T-shirt size girls medium please :D xx

Animals are friends and not food because they too have family friends and little babies they care about and they are all sad if something happens to each other!!!! i'm a girl size medium

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'm a girls size small - I think. =]

junior size medium. :D

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.

i 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.

I think animals are friends not food because they feel pain just like us humans do. Shirt size womans small.

I 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.

animals are friends not food beacause they are intelligent and compassionate. i would never eat a dog, so why should i eat a cow?

love the t-shirt, size small plz!

I think animals are friends, no food because, if you've ever looked one in the eye, you know there's more to them than a nugget or chop. (unisex M)

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!

shirt size = small
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.

my sizes are a medium or a 9 (depending on #'s or s,m,l)

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!!!!

My t-shirt size is a small. :]
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!

Women's large or men's medium :)

I think animals are friends not food because they love you unconditionally. they don't hurt other beings for no reason like humans do. they mean no harm.

size medium.

this shirt is adorable.

its 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.

t-shirt size: youth large or small. :DDD

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

extra small adult

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?

I 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.

t-shirt size=medium

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.

I 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!

size medium. woman.

I'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.

animals 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 the shirt...animals are friends, NOT food b/c they are the most loyal companions...much better than people!

I think animals are friends not food because a living being should not be murdered for your cheeseburger. Your friends and family are animals, would you eat them if they tasted good?
If there is an alternative, take it.

Large. If it weren't for my friends, Daisy and Bonney, my carin and scottie terriers, I would have died already. There are no better friends in the world than my dogs, at least to me.

I think animals are friends not food because we are animals to. eating a cow is just like eating a human, except that cows are a different species. Also animals are like humans in the fact that they have families as well. a chicken that you eat could have been the mom of some chickens that wont be able to survive without it.

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)

I 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!

Girls size medium. =D

Animals are friends not food because cows give me kisses. Big, sloppy wet ones.

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.

Animals 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.

We 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.

girl's size medium, sorry, forgot to add that.

Why 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?

Medium :D

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!

i 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 and not food because they are kindred souls like us. Do we want to be eaten?
Thanks for this awesome giveaway. This tshirt ROCKS!

We can relate and interact with animals. Vegetables don't care if you eat them.

Animals ares firends not food because they have human qualities and characterstics like us! and even if they didn't that wouldn't give us the right to torture them! This chicken just wants to be your friend!

He'll mosh with you lol!

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.

Animals 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.

I 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.
I'm a small or a medium. Not sure how the shirts are sized. [[if theyre sized small, i need a medium:] ]]

Awww those tees are soooooo cute!!!! ever since I saw the "im not a nugget" logo, I have drawn little cartoons like it for my binder. I hope someday soon I could make a cute tee like this for peta. I still need to take a sewing class though :p hee hee.

Small in girls please!

Have a great cruel free day!!

Animals 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.

My daughter would love this shirt, she loves all animals, bugs, plants etc... She's only 3 but she's on the right track. I'd have to get this shirt in the very smallest possible size for her.

Size med...anything with eyes that show you the pain or happiness it has inside cannot possibly be something I would eat...

Heartbeats 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.

i think animals are friends, not food, because that's actually the way it is :) i love my cat and i'd do anything to make him feel happy,(and obviously i'd never eat him o_o) so why shoud i eat other animals that are just like him? i could never eat something with two eyes and a heart.

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

I 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.

There 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.

We 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.

i think animals are friends not food because what other cuteness can never lie to you or hurt you and snuggle with you (well most of them) but you can't do that with a slab of meat ... besides they're the ones that add the beauty to the earth that we're constantly taking away ...

Animals 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.
With love

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.

I 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 :]]].

[I'm a size Medium in ladies]. I love Peta!!!

animals 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 w
