Is it true that animals can sense that someone is a vegetarian?

They say so but haven't read any scientific evidence about it.

They routinely grind up meat parts and process it into cattle feed.  That's one reason that they had a problem in Britain with the mad cow's disease - they still let them use, of all things, road kill in the cattle's food.  We never allowed that here.\n\nCow's normally won't eat a piece of meat, at least when it looks like meat and tastes like meat.  And they chew things up very thoroughly, so it is almost impossible that they would "accidentally" eat the stuff.  It is only when it is ground up and dried and slipped in with oats and stuff that they eat it.\n\nSo since they SEEM fine with this, general health wise, I imagine that other plant eaters would seem to be, too.  I believe they do this with poultry feed also.  How they really are or feel.......

Yes, while it can be said that sHitler was a vegetarian (although this is disputed since he "cheated" often), he was also a f'n madman. Why would anyone use him as a prime example of anything execept insanity and hatred? There are many better examples of vegtarians out there, and there are far more Mohandas Ghandis, Leonardo di Vincis, Leo Tolstoys and Albert Einsteins (yep, all vegetarians) than Adolf Hitlers in the "history book" of vegetarianism.

I truely believe they do. Like my cats all loooove to be told how good they are and dogs do too. Horses are very smart animals and they also have a sense of pride. Quite definitly they know when they've won the race!!!

Yes, see below. They test it in environments to see if it adversely affects animals.\n\nI think there are better ways than to test it on/around critters...but I cannot be certain. I have sited all of my sources below. This does indicate that we subject critters to these chemicals before finding out if they are safe. Hence my answer, Yes!\n\nAs quoted;\nHazard to Humans and Domestic Animals are assessed by using a variety of acute, subchronic, and chronic toxicity tests.\n\n(Ie. Ignore the old hippie. Isn't it annoying when ppl respond and don't know what they are talking about?)

Simple answer - No.\n\n\nA more complex answer. Elephants get nervous when they come upon something unexpected. For example, a mouse or a rat popping out of a hole and running around it's legs, can make an elephant very nervous since it really cannot see the rat, but can hear it and smell it move. And when an elephant is very nervous, it does things which to us may look like it's very scared.\n\nElephants have very poor eye-sight, but very powerful sense of hearing and smell. So, it may not see that mouse, but it can feel it's presence and that's what makes it so nervous. \n\nSo, you see - elephants are not scared of mice, but scared of sudden changes which they cannot comprehend.

it's not called as vegetarian, but some vegetarians, do eat eggs, because they take this eating animals thing a bit less seriously. (some even eat fish, so this thing is really confusing to me anywayz)

Animals and humans are practically one and the same, animals want to eat procreate, protect there young, humans are the same except for one thing, The ability to reason and ask a simple but important question..WHY? \n\nAsking that question has enabled humans to explore and expand,whether evolution or god had a say in that, is another question. But instinctly animals and humans are more similar than some people might like to admit to. \n\nOur behaviour can often be predicted following models based on animals. But the knowledge of our mortality and questioning of it, separates man from beast.

No, God has put animals under the dominion of man. However it talks about dealing with them kindly. That would include if we killed them for food, for example, to do it in a humane way, and not to promote their suffering. (I know I'm gonna hear from vegetarians on that one, but I stand by it.)

I don't know.. "Good, we're vegetarians anyway"\n\nWhat did the Panda & Bull say ???\n;)

Yes it has supposedly been proved that cows do. I saw it on the news.\n\n'Cows have regional accents like humans, language specialists have suggested. \nThey decided to examine the issue after dairy farmers noticed their cows had slightly different moos, depending on which herd they came from. \n\nJohn Wells, Professor of Phonetics at the University of London, said regional twangs had been seen before in birds'\n\n\nCheck this BBC article.\n\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/5277090.stm

Dogs can be trained to detect a wide variety of scents. Although most NARC dogs aren't trained to detect Shrooms specifically, you might come across some who are. Be careful out there.

Yes.  All animals have feelings, they aren't as strong or  prominate as humans but they feel some emotions.  For example cats.  When I was a kid we had two cats named precious and rocky.  And everday when I left for school they would stand with me until the bus came.  Then when I would come home they would be waiting for me.  Other evidence:\n\n-Elephants bury the bones of deceased\n-They adopt abandoned baby elephants after their mothers die\n-Cats nuture each other, I've seen our cats clean eachother\n-Dogs are loyal and have saved others lives

Yes, it's evolved.  It might be interesting to you that, though humans have fairly poor hearing, eyesight (though that is a myth) and sense of smell than other animals like dogs, we have a fairly sophisticated sense of taste.  Dogs, for example, have far fewer taste buds than we do, and fewer types as well.  This is likely because we are a very curious species, and can eat almost anything, so the ability to taste a broad range of foods, and detect and remember foods that are toxic, is probably highly important for humans and other omnivores, such as pigs.  Pigs also have a well-developed sense of taste.

for the record i like cows, they're nice.\n\nseveral religions believe in reincarnation. how you recognize people is different than you might think. some believe you carry similar physical traits in each life. some people are lucky enough to carry glimpses of their past lives, and they figure it out. it's not like you see someone and go "hey charlie where you been buddy?!"..it's more of a recognition on a deeper level. think about someone you've just met and instantly clicked with, and you can't quite put your finger on why. it's possible that you knew them/were related to them in a previous life. i've had that happen with several friends/boyfriends.
