Would you start eating meat again if it was guaranteed "cruelty free"?

Flesh is still flesh.
exploitation and death still would hold the same meaning for me.
unnatural deaths im not important enough to be the cause of.
no no and again......no
The real fucked up part about the whole cloned meat thing is that cloned meat still came from a living creature. they make more and more of it this pig or cow died so we could pretend were doing something. Who the hel are they fooling? they wouldnt use it to ease world hunger.I dont believe that for a second.

The situation which you describe would never exist, by definition.

If someone decided to keep someone in captivity and exploit, kill then eat them without their full expressed consent , and did so completely unprovokedly, then i would regard that as appalling due to being ethically and morally obnoxious.....

Why do you feel that anyone here should be expected to regard that as a situation where the first person is treating the other one "well" ?

I didn't eat dead bodies to begin with, and have no intention of taking it up in the future.

of course not!
never ever!

Hells no. Meat is Murder. (maybe roadkill.. dead anyway. Have to do something about the maggots, though). Maybe we could start frying up child molesters for the die hard meat-eaters! The pope is in town; maybe he knows where we could find some.

DON'T EAT DEADERS !!!

No such thing-death is death.

As to natural death, well ew that means the animal died for a reason which isn't natural for any person to then consume i.e. cause of "natural" death blood born pathogen, rabies, etc. Our bodies are good at scavenging dead carcass murdered by another animal not scavenging pestilence ridden flesh.

Even lab created crap originated from animal testing and animal derivatives

sick. . . .

No.

No, the idea of meat passing my lips and rotting in my stomach holds no desire for me.

Ditto...it's not JUST about the element of cruelty now is it...

nope never ever ever

Nope. We have no right to take one another's life, there should be no reason for us to take an animals life for the sake of having something "good" to eat.

You mean like cloned meat? No way - that's scary stuff. I think I've lost my taste for flesh... and even if it were cruelty free, it still wouldn't be healthy.

No. The very idea disgusts me now.

seems a bit of an oxymoron to me! not convinced you could guarantee any meat to be cruelty free??
personally i wouldn't eat meat (obviously that doesn't include the unlikely situation where i had the option of
starvation or eating an animal, impossible to know what would happen in that case but imagine survival instincts might kick in!) But eating meat out of choice, no way would i do that.

I Really Really Don't Believe That I Would Start Eatting Meat Again Even If They Did Tell Me This. I Mean A Life Is A Life To Me And Just Because They Killed Them Painlessly, They Were Still Killed And Will Not Expeirence Any Beautiful Things In Life. I Would Be A Little Happier That They Weren't Going To Endure Pain While They Were Being killed For Other People Consumption.... Why Doesnt The Whole World Just Go Veggie??? They Should Make It A Law... :)

No way. It's murder regardless of how painless it was.

no just because the death was painless doesnt mean were mean we have a right to eat them, thats sick. if i died painlessly do you have the right to eat me? no because thats would be gross and disrespectful.

Never.

Nope. It's still flesh. :(

no. ive gotten so far into vegetarianism and veganism that there is no going back.

ever.

I wouldn't, because eating flesh is just creepy, cloned or not.

"Cave men killed and ate animals." Early humankind hunted for survival, because the gathering (of plants, etc) alone often wasn't sufficient to sustain life. We can survive fine, better, in fact, in the present without the consumption of animals--it only continues because of the fatal addiction of convenience and resistance to change.

no cause its still sick and your still hurting them in some types of ways and their once again dying to feed humans fat faces!

But you were taking a life??? no. painless is not the question, And to find and eat dead animals is unapealing to me, and i dont believe in taking a life, regarless weather its painless, So no, and meat feels like shit in my body!

no such thing as cruelty free murder.

It wouldnt make a difference to me. I can't stand the thought of eating another living thing. ALL animals are so cute and wonderful, I dont want to be responsible for one dying for me and my plate.

not at all. i just couldnt stand the thought of eating something that was physically and mentally aware, and had the ability to feel.

I've been asked this question a few times...personally, just like everyone who answered before, I just couldn't. I haven't in almost 8 years, it just doesn't seem natural. But if it was possible for meat to be cruelty-free, I would feel a little better about other people consuming it...but not much

No.
I became a veg when I was pregnant 26 years ago (couldn't stand the taste & smell)...I stayed veg because I like the lifestyle. I like the food & growing it. And I still can't stand the smell of dead flesh cooking.

no.

Would it be harder to explain to people why I don't eat meat if the cruelest practices were banned from the world? Yes. But I see animals as my companians, my equals. I personally feel that truly good people repsect all living things, and eating them is not what I would call respectful. So, obviously I can say I will never eat meat ever again, regardless of factory farm conditions.

Hypothetically, if cloned meat is available without the killing of animals, then there are no slaughterhouses and no problems associated with slaughterhouses...hypothetically speaking...so who would care if someone else chose to eat GMO test tube meat even if it is still unhealthy? I don't necessarily care about people's health...I prefer no animal suffering over someone's self-inflicted heart disease and obesity...I would never eat meat again and even cringe over some faux meat because it's too darn close! Even if the animals weren't being tortured, I still wouldn't eat meat; although, I'm for animal welfare as a means to an end since people won't change overnight and suffering needs to be allieviated.

Cave men killed and ate animals. I'm not saying locking them in cages and giving cruel deaths is better. Just something to think about

To me Death never equals cruelty free.....

Nope, it's still taking a life. Even when the scientists finally perfect "meat growing on the counter" like they have been trying to, i will not eat it. It's like eating my own flesh, why would i want to do that. That and it's still toxic to our bodies regardless.

Nope.
No matter how nice they're treated, animal's lives aren't products.
