“Killing Animals for Food: Is it Unethical?”

Every living organism on the face of the earth must consume some form of energy containing
material in order to grow and reproduce. This is natural, it is the cycle of life and we, humans, are part of
it just as any other living thing.

Based from the different studies of archeologists in history, it proves that humans are not always
omnivores, at one time in our history we were purely vegetarians and it is only after we had started
eating meat, along with the discovery of fire, did our brains expand enough to allow us to become the
complicated beings we are today.

The Theory of Evolution states that eating meat is what enabled us humans to rise above the other
animals and become a civilized species yet many people argue — up until today — that we are not
supposed to be eating meat because it is wrong in so many levels and they have thousands of reasons
for that, most of them insists that it is purely unethical and unnatural.

From a personal perspective, we are all born with canine teeth for a reason. In addition to this,
most people love eating meat with passion. So why must we deprive ourselves for something we love
just because a specific group of people believe it to be immoral?
