If you love animals so much, then why are you eating their food?

If animals weren't supposed to be eaten, then why are they made of meat?

God gave us dominion over them, and said that we could eat them.

You are also made of meat.

I think that if we were truly supposed to be vegetarians only, we'd have multiple chambered stomachs to break down cellulose (which is the most available plant matter). We'd be able to survive on apparently worthless things such as chewing grass. Yet we don't.

Monkeys and Apes (which were used as an example of "vegan animals" in a video posted earlier) are wrongly placed since they are not strict vegetarians. Their diet consists mainly of fruits but they eat considerable amounts of insects and meat as well. There are also "carnivorous jawed" animals who survive mostly on plant matter: ie Pandas. So using this as a rule of thumb is pretty stupid. There are also well recorded extinct ungulates (mostly vegetarians) who were heavy scavengers/meat eaters: hell pigs, andrewsarchus, chalicotherium, etc...

We are omnivores. It's ok if you want to eat fruits and vegetables only but please do not spread bullshits such as we've only "unnaturally" eating meat for a century or so. Our systems are perfectly able to get nutrition from meat, as well as from a limited amount of plant matters.

Here are some things we're not supposed to be: scavengers (you'd die due to a disease), filter feeders, ruminating (you'd get really sick if you chewed large amounts of grass). Carnivores (at least partial) is not one of them.
