Isn't that cute. :)

[Alphonse]

I love meat. :)

[Professor Cool]

What a treat!

What about a video that shows farmer cutting down corn stalks.

[UtterParadox]

Wait a friggin' minute, vegans!

According to an article I skimmed through a while back, plants feel pain and can communicate it to other plants. For example, if a flower is being devoured by locusts, it can send out pheromones to other plants, warning them to engage their chemical defenses.

So there's NO form of diet that can completely avoid inflicting pain on some living thing. "Meet Your Meat" is just another form of ecoterrorism.

[the_dudefather]

plants are no-where near as cuddily as animals, so many of them will not care.

also, when vegetables are harvested, dozens of furry animals are killed anyway in the combine harvesters (wild animals with a sense of freedom, who lead much happier lives than mcdonalds cows).

[Rongi]

That video made me hungry for a nice slaughtered cow :yum

[CastroMotorOil]

Im hungry, feel like a burger, really really bad.

[Schimid]

Let's hope Jeanette doesn't see this. :chatter

plants feel pain

The pheromones is a possibility I'm sure, but I doubt that plants can actually feel 'pain'. They have no central nervous system and therefore no 'pain receptors' - since they're generally immobile they don't need them, unlike mammals (e.g negative reinforcement for stepping on something sharp... the pain teaches the mammal not to do this again... or if there is a wound pain makes the animal protect that area which prevents infection or making it worse). As evil as the world is, I doubt evolution would've given plants to feel pain just for the hell of it.

Hey, if somehow some greater species can viciously kill me and make me into a delishous dish, they could go right for it.

Prime Cut Caucasian served in it gravy and bell peppers. Mmmmm

:blah

Who fucking cares? Are you killing them? No. Shut up.

[ScruU2wice]

seriously, if animals were treated gently would it be more ethical to eat :confused

[glowbelly]

no :(

[The One and Only...]

Meat tastes best when you kill it yourself.

I love the smell of gutting my deer, and the rotting roadkill carcasses.

I love the sight of the deer falling in weakness, and the blood drip out of my rare steak.

I love the sounds of deer moaning in pain, and the bang of a gunshot.

In short, I love killing animals. Just be glad I don't enjoy killing humans.

[glowbelly]

i'm sad that your "morals" prevent you from killing yourself. >:

[the_dudefather]

:blah

Who fucking cares? Are you killing them? No. Shut up.

im not a vegatarian, i was just pointing out the irony of being one.

i love delicous meat. especialy mince stew with mashed potatos. (cue hannibal lecter raspy tongue noise)

[glowbelly]

what's so ironic about not eating meat?

[Rongi]

Here's a quote from futurama:

"The only reason we don't eat humans is because they taste terrible"

>:

[glowbelly]

i smell like cookies :eek

[FartinMowler]

I was watching a show about chicken farmers and it was really disgusting. They have a dude that checks the chicks and if it's male it goes into a grinder to become a paste that they sell to the mink farmers for feeding the Minks. They also have to cut off the beak of the chicken or they will attack each other and if they gang up on one unlucky chicken they keep jabbing at the rectum and pull out it's intestines. I still eat meat but the process is very :puke

[TeRRaNuSER]

mMmmMm.... grinder paste

[Geggy]

Here's a quote from futurama:

"The only reason we don't eat humans is because they taste terrible"

>:

Humans taste like chicken, you ass.

[Rongi]

That wasn't even sort of funny :|

[Geggy]

I don't give a damn whether it's funny to you or not, they do literally taste like chicken.

[Pub Lover]

Fuck you all with your narrow scope of what a Vegan is! >:

I hate animals more than any off you meat eaters could possibly ever do. >:

Yay! I love being drunk! :)

[TeRRaNuSER]

that wasnt even sort of educational

[soundtest]

I was watching a show about chicken farmers and it was really disgusting.

I had a similar experience... I watched a show on some pig slaughterhouse one night when I was very low. It was disgusting... all these pink bodies crowded together in filth... piglets getting injected with all sorts of drugs... the conditions were enough to make me sick alone and that was before the actual slaughter. I'm not sure if it was the pot, but those pigs resembled naked humans so much it weirded me out. For me the decision to become a vegelesbian had nothing to do with animal rights (life feeds on life, I didn't write the rules), it was just that the unsanitary living conditions and hormones and drugs that animals have to endure made me disgusted at the thought of consuming them. After watching that I was vegetarian for almost six years, the last 3 of which I was vegan.

6 months in China took care of that though. :meat

seriously, if animals were treated gently would it be more ethical to eat :confused

Just because the end result is death doesn't mean pain that could be avoided should be inflicted. Say your mother has a terminal illness but decides she'd like to donate a kidney - should an anaesthetic not be used because she'll be dead soon anyway?

[TeRRaNuSER]

publover totaly ruined that SWEET JOKE.

[agroskaterik]

I agree with soundtest.

Are you still a vegitarian and or vegan?

Im seriously thinking about it.

[ScruU2wice]

i seriously wasnt being sarcastic. im trying to put it together in my mind wether an that lived humanely would be more ethical to eat on my end?

[TeRRaNuSER]

food thats treated humainly tastes better because its not just rotting in a cage eating hormones for 5 years

and vegans.. the brain dosent function without protine
wich i guess explains the love of soy ice cream

[AChimp]

Chickens are cannibals, that's why the pointy shit on their beaks is removed (like someone said above). Cows will also gore each other occassionally if their horns aren't removed. I know this because half my relatives live on a farm. :eek

I don't really care how animals are treated. All that matters to me is how well their meat is taken care of. :meat

how are those hindu people so smart then? :lol

[soundtest]

When I first got to China I tried to stay vegetarian, but since vegetarianism is almost unheard of there (the exception being Buddhists), I gave in completely after about 6 weeks. Now I don't go out of my way to eat meat and I never cook or handle it myself, but I'll eat it maybe once a week or less. So I guess the answer is no.

i seriously wasnt being sarcastic. im trying to put it together in my mind wether an that lived humanely would be more ethical to eat on my end?

I don't really know what you're saying here. By ethical do you mean how guilty you should feel? If I were to be eaten after my death, I know I would prefer it if I was dealt with humanely beforehand.

[O71394658]

In all seriousness, I think the stuff that is happening to animals terrible, but the fact remains that I just simply don't trust PeTA. I know that a lot of time was put into that production, and the absolute worst areas were shown. Obviously there's a bias, so taking everything they say as absolute truth, I have trouble swallowing (NPI).

[TeRRaNuSER]

im eating a chicken pita its delicious

[glowbelly]

and vegans.. the brain dosent function without protine

you sure you aren't a vegan, champ?

besides, vegans get protein from alternative sources.

here's an article about vegetable vs animal protein. (http://www.afpafitness.com/articles/AnimalvsVegetable.htm)

i don't eat anymore for a variety of reasons. the main one being that the thought of consuming an animal that has been shot up with god only knows how many antibiotics and hormones makes me get all whoozy feeling. i also believe that since i can get my nutrition from other sources that there is no reason for me to consume a cow, just because it tastes good. it's just not nice.

that's what i think, anyways.

WHEN I EAT MEAT AND I THINK ABOUT WHAT THEY DO TO THE ANIMALS I DO THIS:
