The only reason I don't eat at the local KFC is because their restaurant
always seems to be dirty... poor cleanup practices.

But I'll be damned if I let some weenie tell me not to eat an animal because
"it's cruel." There's far more cruelty going on out there in the animal
world. If a chicken could eat you, it would.

Yo bro, why are you so upset about those chickens. Have you ever
visited a feedlot or a slaughterhouse? Seen a commercial fishing boat
or a fish processor? Ever watched sausage being made? I have and I do
like beef, poultry and fish for dinner.

BTW I would discount completely anything the "Rev" supports. He has
shown over and over that the truth is pretty much irrelevant when it
comes to getting himself in a headline. Remember that little incident
in brooklyn?

I haven't eaten at KFC for years for this very reason. Oddly, KFC and
those 17 herbs and spices is the only thing that I miss about eating
meat. If there was Kentucky Fred Tofu, I'd have at it.

First, just because cruelty exists in the animal world, doesn't mean
that it's OK for people to maximize it for unnecessary reasons. If you
want to eat meat, go ahead, but at least admit that it's because you
like it (people clearly don't need it), and that you simply don't care
about whether the animals are mistreated or not...because someone who
cares is going to have a terrible time with his conscience.

And oh, by the way, *Don't eat an animal, because it's cruel.* Now try
and stop me from telling you! hah ha hah hah hah!

I disagree completely. We are omnivores and meat is and has been a
part of our diet for a very long time. We have evolved biologically so
we can process meat as a source of nutrients. And many of us just plain
enjoy a nice rare aged porterhouse with some steakhouse vegetables.
Dripping with red juice ready to be sopped up with a piece of sourdough
bread.

I don't have much problem with the raising and slaughter of animals for
human consumption...actually I enjoy consuming the end product with
great relish.

Have you ever considered how difficult it must be to live the life of a
carrot? Living your early solitary life 6 inches beneath the ground
you are summarily yanked from the ground, your curly green hair is torn
off and you are thrown into a scrubber. As a carrot your ultimate fate
is to be either peeled, chewed, boiled or frozen. Not a pretty picture
for carrots is it...

you are very uninformed, the question is not to eat or not but to ABUSE
or not. the way we treat animals for food is disgusting, and it not
healthy for us, full of chemicals and abuse makes the nutritional value
go down. anyone who hears how veal is produced and doesn't get angry
and throw up is pathetic.

also it take 16 pounds of grain for one pounds of meat in a world full
of starving people. WHAT A WASTE

Agree with you about the antibiotocs and growth hormones...that's why I
try to use meat that isn't fed that stuff. Otherwise, I'm not too
worried about the farm animals.

Yeah, it may take 16 pounds of grain to create a pound of meat, but it
is difficult to cook milo so it's rare and juicy red. And we do use
it's waste as well as literally every part of the animal but the moo,
so your figure is overstated.

Hmm...For dinner I think I'm going to have a little goose liver pate
for an appetizer followed by a veal picatta with pasta.

And for breakfast tomorrow I will have a bagel with cream cheese and
lox. And the lox came from a salmon that was caught with a hook or
gill net, clubbed on the head, just thrown into an icer and gutted
later. It may have been just thrown in the icer live too. Yummm!!!!

Documentation of abuse by PETA is, by nature, suspect.
They are not a reputable organization because for every
legitimate thing they document, they ruin their reputation
by guerilla tactics and dubious assertions, such as beer
is better for you than milk. (I may prefer beer to milk, but
milk has much more calcium and other nutrients that I
could use as opposed to beer, which has pretty much
a good amount of B6.) Their current fish campaign
echoing Finding Nemo assigns characteristics to fish
found in higher level vertebrates or humans, not accepting
fish for what they are.

Or a farmer.

Please explain to me what you will do after you
feed everyone, because there will be an incredible
explosion of population and an incredible need
for health care when that happens. I have
no problem with the goal of feeding the world,
but no one seems to be focusing on the problems
that that will cause if that goal is achieved.

Fish are creatures that feel pain, as do you and I. When it comes to
compassion and the inherent existence of "rights" as we human call
them, that is the only factor that matters.

If we as humans did not feel pain or could not be harmed, there would
be no reason for the concept of rights. No matter what anyone did, we
could not be hurt.

You may not like PETA, and I may not support everything they do, but
the concept of treating every other living thing with as much kindness
and as little cruelty as possible is both (1) a very human thing to do,
and (2) a just and ethical thing to do. To purposely make life
miserable for fish, or any other animal, in the name of profit and for
the purpose of the luxury of meat, is neither human (humane) nor
ethical.

And it's a well established fact that plants respond to light and
temperature. So they too appear have some sensory response akin to
pain. Why should we be concerned about fish but not plants.

We should be concerned about as much as we can. We still need to eat,
so we simply do the best we can and eat to the highest level of
compassion . Your comment on *akin to pain* is interesting, BUT..,
evolutionarily, it would not be worthwhile or advantageous in any way
for a plant to develop a "pain" sensor, since it cannot do anything to
run or defend itself. My *guess* is that anything that gives
discomfort akin to pain in plants is probably nonexistent. To say that
response to light is like pain is a stretch - it is more like saying we
humans prefer relative warmth to cold.

Have you ever considered how difficult it must be to live the life of

I will eat so that my life contributes the least to the pain and
suffering of others. Simple as that.

[email protected] February 17th 05 05:46 PM

Actually many plants have evolved responses to dangerous situations.
Some close up or fold in response to cold and heat, some curl when cut,
and many move in reaction to sunlight or darkness. Those are responses
to stimuli that in some cases are akin to what we generalize as pain.
So again, why are you concerned only about animals experiencing pain
when it is clear that plant life responds to dangerous or painful
situations too. I think you should exhibit the same level of
compassion for the carrot that you have for the sheepshead. Don't you?

Ah, but PETA does not stop there, which is why I
said what I said. Relying on PETA for data means
that you are opening yourself up to criticism about
the source, and allow your argument to be lumped
in with the extreme, rather than the mean. I may not
like sprawl very much myself, but I do not in any
way, shape or form want to associate myself with the
eco-terrorists (the Earth First! people, for instance)
who will destroy property in the name of the
environment. That only provides sympathy for the
property owners, and in effect encourages the very
thing that the eco-terrorists don't want.

An opinion. Maybe a good one, but an opinion nonetheless. Pain is not
generalized - pain is pain.

So again, why are you concerned only about animals experiencing pain

situations too.

You misread me. I am concerned about all living things, down to
microbes.

I think you should exhibit the same level of

compassion for the carrot that you have for the sheepshead. Don't you?


As I said before, I will eat and live my life so as to avoid as much as
possible causing grief to other living things. For now, and until I am
shown something like proof (internet assertions do not fill this void),
I am going to have to assume that animals have the most developed
nervous systems and greatest potential for feeling pain...and that they
will get first consideration. That represents the best information I
have.

All of life is a compromise...it is unavoidable. What we can avoid is
doing any more damage than we must to survive. That is what I do when
I choose not to harm animals. I also try to use products with minimal
packaging, recycle as much as possible, work to preserve natural areas
and give other living things the best shot I can. You can argue it any
way you want - but when it comes down to it, I am acting on my
conscience and the best information I have. As one who apparently
requires not as much from yourself, you may wish to consider whether
you have a leg to stand upon when lecturing someone else when he is
trying to do what is morally right.
