Heh

The motto of my design company is "To get a stake you gotta kill a cow".

Not so much teens as toddlers Flan: last week I had to explain to my distraught 4 year old (afer watching a doco on penguins and sea-lions):
"Where's my Penguin!! Waaahh - I want my penguin!!"
"Don't be too sad little one - the life of the penguin went into the sea-lion"
"Get it back out daddy! - I want my penguin WAAAAH!!"
It's a good thing the doco didn't show how the sea-lion flicks the penguin out of his skin before eating him!

Peta would have us all starve and freeze - extremism seems to lead to extinction

Is "doco" Austrialian for "documentary"? At first I thought it was some kind of antarctic animal I'd not heard of.

There's too many animals...
"Ethical solution"...euthanize them all!
There's too many PETA members...
"Ethical solution"....use your imagination!

Well, here's my take on these jackasses;

The sad thing is that in their very early days, PETA was considered an good organization, worthy of giving donations to because they did help in taking care of bona-fide animal cruelty.

After their palms were filled sufficiently, they went to the dark side. (Add Darth Vader breathing sound effects)
Now they don't believe people should even have pets. And other crazy ideas.
I don't think all my pets would make it in the wild, natural selection can be cruel also.

None of the PETA members would survive in the wild either

, natural selection can also be "ethical."

My uncle is a butcher by trade, and my dad(his brother) used to bring me in to his abbatoir from when i was about eight to lend a hand. a few yeaers later (probably i was about 14 or so) i slaughtered my first bullock and helped hang it and skin/butcher it.

Because of this i think i earned the right to eat meat.
I respect animals and could never needlessly hurt a creature.

nonetheless i still think that we(humans) are natural carnivores (hence the wee pointy teeth in our mouths) BUT.......

unless you are willing to kill/butcher etc an animal then you havent earned that right!

I'd agree with Flanum, but I haven't butchered anything, save fish.... oh, and one Buffalo and one Elk (spirituality had a part in this). I haven't slaughtered beef, pork or poultry, but I eat them a considerable amount.

I have, on the other hand, slaughtered tons and tons of plants... you know, the other (and dominately numbered) living beings on this planet... but I rarely eat them... unless they come in the form of bread.

Where am I going with this? A phrase I like to quote from my good friend and fellow esoterically minded party animal, David White. He says: "Hey, my species didn't hack, claw and gnaw its way, all the way, up the food chain, just to eat plants!!!"

I used to think this way about the Sierra Club, too, until they were caught red-handed hiding facts that didn't fit in with the storyline they wanted to peddle. Perhaps its the politics of the situation that causes well-meaning organizations to go bad, but I take a very large dose of salt with anything environmentalists say about anything anymore.

-I don't eat much meat, but any sockeye salmon within reach should consider itself at risk. A man and his fillet-Its a beautiful thing.

Having grown up/live on a farm- I've earned that right by your standards.

Maybe I am not up with what is going on, but I have never heard of Paris Hilton. Surely that is a made-up name. No one would deliberately name their child, Paris Hilton, would they? I wouldn't.
