Animals

[nailit]

My son and his GF went up to a park today (because they can) and saw a foreign 'gentleman' let his kids stamp on on poorly pigeon and then kick it under a car.
When questioned he replied 'No understand English'
If I had been there he bloody would..

Nothing to do with nationality,,,just bloody shathouses whatever country you come from!
Whoever allows their kids to kick a bird to death

My lambs aren't ready yet they were only born end of April. They will be going to the local butcher for slaughter and butchering about mid November. However I still have two whole ones in the freezer and we are having some chops tonight. I will be eating them looking over the fields their mother is in with her new lambs. Does not bother me one jot. I know they have been well looked after and slaughtered and butchered within half a mile of the farm. And horror of horrors...I ate a couple of my hens eggs today, laid yesterday morning. Yum!

The level of piety, arrogance and sanctimony from Dive Girl is off the chart.

Why do some vegans feel they are morally superior and have a right to lecture other people about what they should eat? Like the absurd Joey Carbstrong who says that artificial insemination of cows is rape. Yes, rape; it is impossible to have a reasoned conversation with this sort of moron.

I eat meat because it is delicious (actually I eat far more fish than meat, but that's by the by), and I don't much care how it reaches my plate. And yes, I've been to an abattoir, and no it didn't put me off one jot. I'm more than happy to eat veal, and I've had fois gras...I'm aware of la gavage.

OTT DD, if you are 'happy' to eat veal and foie gras knowing the terrible, terrible suffering involved then you are not a nice person. You can eat so many, many things and yet you choose to eat cruelly produced food. I can't understand that. You seem proud of it too, how sad.

[AuntPollyGrey]

Daisypotter -this is why its not a black or white choice. I am a meat eater but will not eat intensively reared pork or chicken or anything produced artificially such as fois gras. Vegans would see this as hypocritical but I believe in choice, and if more meat eaters were in a position to eat less meat, but more ethically produced, then that would be beneficial to animals and producers.

As for Divegirl, well they look for a platform at the merest hint of animal cruelty and how someone can compare wantonly kicking an animal to death for pleasure with slaughtering an animal specifically raised to be slaughtered and eaten is beyond comprehension.

Daisy, there is ròse veal, which is ethically raised in the UK. I'm not sure you can get any other type in this country.

[pastafreak]

If vegans really cared about animal cruelty, they would put more effort into campaigning for better farming practices. They forget that use of the land... to raise both vegetable crops and animals...are part of a natural cycle that keeps the earth in balance.

I'm not sure how you 'ethically' raise an animal for the simple intention of selling it to be killed and eaten - ?
