Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(Would you spare the life of a cow at the expense of watching children starve?),it will help you,my kids.
I understand this may sound like a very biased question, but it is realistic.
In places like Africa where food is very scarce and people raise pigs and cattle as a means of survival, some people have no other means for food and survival.
Now, would it be unreasonable for them to kill those animals in order to eat and stay alive?
To what extent should "animal's rights" be protected when human survival becomes a factor?
Answers:
Well you hit a sticky issue here. You can feed 16 vegans on the land equivalent that it takes to feed one meat eater. It takes a loooooot of grain and soybeans to fatten one cow and if that land was used to grow people food instead, it could go much further. The conversion for chicken is smaller than cattle because the reach slaughter weight at 6 weeks. Famine in Africa is really skewed by politics and is another mess in itself. In South America, croplands are used to raise cattle for export while the native populations starve (no kidding, your meat eating is far reaching). If the kids are starving, they should eat the meat, absolutely. I am a vegetarian because it is a worthwhile in a land of choices, given all the facts. I do not begrudge starving kids a cut of lifesaving meat, but everybody I know is fat and on some sort of medication to lower their cholesterol (hello, eat less animals, they are full of cholesterol!)

Nope, I love cow!
NO if meant poor children would survive then yes
No. Pharisees use to do the same thing, didn't they? Something about ' Corban.'
I dont think there is any problems with that. I think with animal rights being protected in this kind of issues has to be very vague because it is a fine line between animal abuse OR just a survival factor Killing animals is wrong and it hurts me to think about it.
But children should be more important. If it came down to either a cow dying or a human child dying, sorry Bessie. Time to go to moo-moo Heaven.
No. That's one of the reasons I have never become a vegetarian even though my two sisters are!
There is so much hunger in the world, that everytime I am being "picky" about eating meat I feel really guilty about people who are starving out there.
No. The life of a human is more valuable than that of an animal. However, my statement is based on the assumption that the cow is raised and killed as humanely as possible. Animals are here for us. We are meant to do as what we wish with them. Animals are not equal to humans. They do not have feelings, emotions. The can not feel love or pain (emotional). They are in no way equal to man. Man has all the right to kill them and treat them as they see necasary. **** these hippies and this animal rights ****. When animals start walkin on 2 feet, talkin like a human, and start feeling emotions then we can talk about the ir right. Until then I see no reason to.
Not a chance I would but, there are many societies in which cows are "sacred" and shall not be killed, let alone eaten. Just shows the ignorance that remains in the world!
Id kill the cow children are more importanat they need to eat to duh of courese i would kill the cow by lil com time to go to moo-moo heaven! Absolutely not... the cows and pigs have rights too.
That would be one dead cow!
there is a fatal flaw in this question though: if there is enough food to feed the cow, then there should be enough food to feed the starving children. the real reason theat people are starving is because the land that SHOULD be used for agrucultural food production in developing countries is instead used to raise cattle. we should all be vegetarian, and then we wouldn't need to spare that important land for abusive cattle farming. the choice is not eat meat or die, it is supply meat to the first world and die, or don't support the first world and have grain and vegetables, but get bombed by the first world and shunned by the world bank and imf no
It's okay to kill if it's the only chance of survival.
