Some arguments used in debate on the topics in the title simply are invalid. That goes for pro and contra. We selected a few of the most rigid arguments from different situations and placed an appropriate counterargument. Because a more clear and honest way of reasoning helps improve the circumstances animals live in.
Mail us if you encounter other or new (counter)-arguments (click in the list marked with to go directly to the section).

Apart from the specific issues there are the types of arguments in general.

 

Non-valid arguments (deceptive arguments) for different groups:

meat-eaters
vegetarians
10 myths about Vegans
factory farming
ignoring animal rights
advocating animal rights
experimentation with animals

See also: hunting myths and the Manual of Animal Rights.

Non-valid arguments for abstaining meat

Reaction

Humans are not equipped with the dental and digestive facilities to eat meat

 

(Even turned around, this argument is not valid for eating meat) a human can digest meat well when taken in moderation

People can choose what they want to eat, animals cannot

 

That makes us responsible, but it is not an argument against eating meat

Eating no meat at all is healthier

 

That doesn't make eating meat unhealthy

Killing animals is sad

 

That is a personal opinion

Animals suffer when butchered

 

Dying a natural death caused by disease or being taken as prey is at least just as painful.

Humans don't need meat

 

Unnecessary food (for example candy) is not always unhealthy or ethically unacceptable
