Good post, Sydney. I agree with you.

So you couldn't kill an animal yourself, but you think it's perfectly okey to let other people, who don't think it's wrong, do the dirty work for you and then you happily eat the meat, not thinking about it. That's just so hypocritical.
You may think what you want, but if you support the killers, it makes you a reason for them to go on. They are killing the animals for you, so that makes you atleast partly the killer. You may say I'm going extreme, and yes I am, because you can't say that some cow is killed specially for you and it could live, if you stopped eating meat, and like my mom said to me, when I told her I wanted to become vegetarian "The animals are killed killed anyway. It doesn't matter if you eat the meat or not. Then it'll just go waste." But if everyone stopped eating meat, no animals would be slauthered for their meat any more.

You mean there are animals besides humans that have been as productive to their own species as Mozart, Einstein and Pasteur?

No, you didn't get Sydney's point. He was saying that only a few people are as productive to our species, than the few he mentioned. He was saying that most of us aren't going to be so special, so we aren't as far from animals as we think, because our basic needs and goals in life are the same. The basic needs and desires for an animal are to find food and to reproduce.
