Vegetarians in Japan

As a life-long moral vegetarian

Were you raised vegetarian?

Were you raised vegetarian?

Yes. I'm only 100cm tall, have no hair and 6 digits on each hand. The 30cm pen*s is a boon, though

Once again you're showing a willful lack of knowledge.
So your claim is that this type of animal husbandry is better than Biblical times?

No, you're mixing up what I said. Heres what my good friend AI has to say.

While it's difficult to definitively say whether animals are treated better now than in biblical times, current societal values and legal protections suggest a general trend towards greater animal welfare and a more nuanced understanding of their place in the world compared to the often utilitarian views found in the Bible.
Different AI:
The treatment of animals has evolved significantly over time and varies widely by culture and context.

In biblical times, animals were primarily seen as resources for food, labor, and religious sacrifice. The Bible contains various laws and guidelines regarding the treatment of animals, such as allowing them to rest on the Sabbath and prohibiting cruelty. For example, Deuteronomy 25:4 instructs not to muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain, indicating a concern for the welfare of working animals.

In contrast, modern views on animal welfare and rights have developed substantially, with many societies advocating for better treatment of animals. There are numerous animal protection laws, ethical standards, and welfare organizations established to promote humane treatment. Increasingly, there is a focus on issues such as factory farming, habitat conservation, and the rights of pets.

Overall, while biblical texts reflect a certain level of consideration for animals, modern society typically has more structured and widespread systems in place aimed at improving their welfare. However, the actual treatment of animals can still vary significantly around the world today.

My previous posts on this topic were written based on my experience. However since then I have been doing various Google searches, such as "Narita vegetarian", "vegetarian Okinawa ", etc. There seems to be a lot more vegetarian places than I knew about previously. Thanks for starting this thread.

Thank you all for your (mainly) insightful posts.

I've only been on this forum a short time and yet I've used the 'ignore' button twice! That's a record for me!
