I've heard it said that Homo Sapiens evolved as a Vegetarian hence our very long gut system (circa 40') in order to give food time to be digested

Well we are missing quite a few things.

1) We have a single chambered stomach
2) Our appendix is very small unlike a lot of vegitarian animals (caecum)
3) Our teeth do not continually grow

We also have

1) Canine teeth
2) Molars designed to chew meat

Typical ominvore design

Man would have originally eaten a diet with considerably more vegetation than we do today...  This said, as said, our mouths are such that we are able to eat both meat and vegetation...  We have organs that are effectively no longer used such as the appendix (although could be a store of healthy bacteria for the immune system), which assisted in getting the maximum nutrients and digestion of vegetation (cellulose)...

Would I knowingly eat meat killed in a Halal manner, preferably no, I would much rather eat meat that has been killed quickly and humanely...

But what came first - the Vegetarian or the Omnivore?

I have a pet dog. Even the word pet implies it is only their for our benefit, for us to gain satisfaction in petting it. I regard her as a member of the family, and would risk my life without question to protect her. I have a better bond with her than most people, just because she is a dog and not human doesn't lessen her worth.

Just out of interest, what do you feed your pet dog on?

As I've said earlier in this thread, it's in the nature of the beast.

Dogs eat meat, or whatever they can given the choice. I feed my dog with food that has animal products. As I said nature of the beast.

I live by a set standards and rules I set for myself, and don't try to impose them on any other human or animal, unlike what most of the rest of the world tries to do, especially muslims.

As much as I value animals, humans are more intelligent etc etc, so we can make the choice, animals can't.

I do feed animal products to my dog.

Thanks for your question, and attempt at a cheap shot that didn't work!

Blimey I thought this thread was dead!!

As long as I have been able to buy meat to cook meals for my family, every womens objective, and it tastes ok, for a housekeeping budget price, I have bought it!!

The Tesco store just north of Wembley on the North circular   (A406) advertises a halal meat counter so you have the choice.
