Yes, my Uncle Richard died last year. We warned him over and over about
his consumption of RED MEAT and copious quantities of DEMON RUM and the
fermented FRUIT OF THE VINE and his profligate way with YOUNG WOMEN OF
ILL REPUTE. Would this man listen? NO. So, then, suddenly, at the age
of 93, he just keeled right over, and was gone from us forever. At his
memorial, the family , oh, I just can't go on, it's too emotional.

It doesn't follow that anyone who is not a vegetarian eats "low quality and
highly profitable processed product." Including some meat in a healthy diet
seems more likely to add to its nutritional values than otherwise.

Yup, exactly the same thing. Try a real arguement next time. There's a

being bred as a source of food.

That's a no-brainer for sure.
Significant only to those on the beneficial side of the oppression. Your
statement is spawned by the belief that your species is superior to all
others. Atrocities arise when people start acting on their beliefs as if they
were valid.

Listen up brothers and sisters
Come here my desperate tale
I speak of our friends of nature
Trapped in the dirt like a jail
Vegtables live in oppression
Served on out tables each night
This killing of veggies is madness
I say we take up the fight
Salads are only for murderers
Cole Slaw's a fascist regime
Don't think that they don't have feelings
Just cause a radish can't scream
I've heard the screams of the vegtables
Watching theirs skins being peeled
Grated and steamed with no mercy..
How do you think that feels?
Carrot juice constitutes muder..
Greenhouses prisons for slaves
It's time to stop all this gardening
Let's call a spade a spade.
I saw a man eating celery
So I beat him black and blue
If he ever touches a sprout again
I'll bite him clean in two
I'm a political prisoner
Trapped in a windowless cage
Cause I stopped the slaughter of turnips
By killing five men in a rage
I told the judge when he sentenced me
This is my finest hour..
I'd kill those farmers again
Just to save one more cauliflower
I've heard the screams of the vegtables
Watching theirs skins being peeled
Grated and steamed with no mercy..
How do you think that feels?
Carrot juice constitutes muder..
Greenhouses prisons for slaves
It's time to stop all this gardening
Let's call a spade a spade.
How low as people do we dare to stoop
Making our brocolies bleed in the soup?
Untie your beans,
Uncage your tomatoes
Let potted plants free,
Don't mash that potato!
(Spare the spud, eat a cow instead!)
I've heard the screams of the vegtables
Watching theirs skins being peeled
Grated and steamed with no mercy..
How do you think that feels?
Carrot juice constitutes muder..
Greenhouses prisons for slaves
It's time to stop all this gardening
Let's call a spade a spade.
Is a spade is a spade is a spade

It's not a matter of fault.
So what if humans possess more intellect than other life forms. I don't see
how this fact gives humans the right to destroy every life form on earth.
Care to enlighten me as to how one implies the other? It seems that you are
implying that intellectual superiority begets destructive superiority. Or, is
it simply not possible for humans to coexist with any other life forms without
destroying everything?

Those who are superior dominate. That's how it is in nature as well.
The weaker animals are destroyed by the stronger animals - it's called
nature. Go stand in the forest for a while. See how long it takes a bear

Well....what other "yard stick" is there. Evolution has seen man become
the dominant species on the planet. We have the capacity to think and do
whatever we wish. When Bovine Ingenuity rivals human intelligence, come
knock on my door. The bottom line is that these precious cattle, chickens
(etc) that everyone wants to protect wouldn't even exist if it weren't for
human consumption. How many chickens would be running through the forest?
Not many. You know why? Because the other animals would eat them.

Maybe it would if you didn't have such a close-minded view of the world.
Well, the bottom line is that humans are f*cking up the planet. I assert that
as an axiom. So, every conclusion that I arrive at must be a derivative of
this fact. If that's your definition of close-minded, then welcome to the

In our house we call them "Hastings Fries."
My main point was and remains that humans are not being humane with the
animals that they wish to ingest. If you visit the PETA web site, you can
view video of the abusive treatment of animals. It is this gross behaviour
that is the most disturbing.
I have never implied that everyone should become "veggie-wegans". If only
everyone would exercise a bit of discretion in the selection of the source
of their animal flesh. Have you no problem subsidizing the salaries of
people that abuse animals by dragging them by their hooves behind a vehicle
because the animal didn't immediately gallop to the slaughterhouse at the
whim of the employee?
The problem is not with the average joe that goes out and hunts a few
individuals and brings them home. The problem is with the unconsionable
members of the so-called superior species that massacre (humainly or not is
irrelevant) hundreds of animals per day. What type of individual does it
take to be able to do this? Certainly not a member of a "superior" species.
I don't see how the anecdotes in the rest of your posting apply to this
thread.

Very true. When the world was pristine and untouched by agriculture a few
thousand years ago, it could only support a few hundred thousand humans,
who has a very rough existence by browsing, foraging and hunting. Such a
life was far more troubled and difficult than almost anyone today is likely
to experience. If you want to scrap agriculture and return to that, you
will have very few takers.
I agree entirely. Again, my main problem is that humans seem to be
causing/allowing every other species to be removed from the equation. This is
not acceptable.

Because we all need to eat. Not everyone has the time, ability or
equipment to hunt for food. Yet you still have to eat. Maybe we should ban
farming as well. Afterall, if you didn't get it yourself - you don't

There are numerous humans that can't even do that. So, by your "logic" they

Guess what? There are plenty of laws protecting animals as well. But

What you're saying is that raising (For example) cattle and chickens for
consumption is unethical, and that the only time we should be eating animals
is if we catch them ourselves? It was that type of mentality that led to
the near extinction of animals like the Buffalo. And without domestication
there wouldn't the needed supply to meet the world's needs.

Well you make the arguement against raising game for consumption, and I
simply explained why it's done. Even simple logic and fact isn't good
enough for you.

Wow! That is one the dumbest things I've ever heard on Usenet.
Congrats, I think.
What you've built your entire arguement on is that people abuse animals,
and have done so since the dawn of time. Now you're saying that what
happened before has no relevance? Hmm, just like your "Point" I suppose.
And a pen is still a pen, and a shoelace is still a shoelace. You're a fine
one to accuse others of posting dumbness.
The ignorant will often resort to crassness when they really had nothing to
stand on. I'll leave you to your ignorance and hope you wake up one day.
Isn't it time for you to cross the street for your quick fix of cow flesh?
Unless you have anything worthwhile to post, I'm done with this thread.

See, wasn't that easier? And yes, there are still abuses. But what you
seem to fail to understand/accept is that there is more awareness of our
impact on the planet than there ever has been. The problems aren't going to
suddenly cease to exist, but rather it's a long term project that is going
to take (Likely) centuries.

Funny, seems to me that you just did the exact same thing.......

Yup. Can hardly wait to fire up the barbeque tonight. Or maybe I'll

Hmmmm, seems to me that your entire "Point" has been a waste of breath.
Do you really think you should be the one judging the validity of others'
thoughts, when you clearly refuse to accept valid points in a discussion?
Making assinine statements like chickens and cows are superior to humans is
simply weak. And they show who really doesn't have a leg to stand on. If
our ancestors hadn't eaten meat, our species would have died out thousands
of years ago. And that's fact based on science, something that you simply
cannot refute.

No, that's not what you replied. This is what you replied;
"What past? There is no past, there is only the present and the future.
Humans continue f*cking up the planet, then enact weak laws to make it
appear
that they give a rat's ass, yet continue f*cking up the planet at any
cost."

But chickens, and other animals, are sentient. They are self-aware. They
"feel" discomfort, pain, etc. just as we do. Even if they're not capable of
complaining to you.

As I pointed out elsewhere in this thread, while it may have been necessary
for earlier variants of our species to eat meat, we have long since evolved
from there. Or at least, some of us have.

Have we really? What are the long term effects of a Vegan Lifestyle?
Can you show me any studies that have been done, or something even remotely
scientific? We all know the possible risks of a rich diet, ranging from
Gout to Heart Disease, but we also know that everything in moderation is the
appropriate diet. Ask a doctor, a nutritionist - Hell, even Health Canada.
Cutting a food group out of your diet could very well be more harmful than
keeping it in your diet, in moderation.

Well I suggest you start buying all the chickens and cattle then. They
are raised for a purpose, and that cycle will always be completed. My steak
was extra good last night by the way. I could really taste the cruelty and
strife the poor cow suffered while laying around in a field it's whole life.
What a totally disgusting entity you are. You are not even in the same
league as a fly larva.

Myself, I like that Kobe beef. I had it once, when I lived out in the
less-than-mystical east. They pamper these beasts, give them massages
and spiritually healing holistic aroma-dramatic therapy, then whack 'em
on the head so the rich oppressors can eat 'em.
I ate beaver once. No, really, the kind that builds dams and screws up
your landscaping. It was oily. No really ...

I was being extremely dramatic. The point that I was trying to make is
that Livestock (Generally Speaking) have a very good life. When the
livestock is your means of employment you tend to do anything that improves
their lives, afterall a healthy animal is by far more valuable than an
unhealthy animal. With the exception of the "End", livestock typically live
a very good life. A few days on a working cattle farm will show you that.
The point is that at typical Vegan claim is that these animals are abused
and tortured etc etc etc. The fact of the matter is that they generally are
not. While there are always going to be bad apples, the vast vast vast
majority of farmers/ranchers understand that if their livestock isn't in
good condition, they aren't goign to make any money.

Just trying to live up the sterotype you seem to project onto meat
eaters. You have demonstrated over and over again that you haven't got a
clue what the typical livestock lifestyle is. You base all of your opinions
on the rhetoric you've read, but have never bothered to look at both sides
of the issue. Everyone is wrong, because YOU say so.

C'mon Ray, that's like pointing atheists at all the Christian websites
you can think of. No one's gonna stop eating meat because a few
evangelist whackos think we should. It just ain't natural. I thought
you were going to stop responding to this thread?

Tony, that is actually a pretty good way of looking at things. I'm all
against cruelty to animals (Like Puppy Mills etc) but I think that the
average Vegan (Especially the uneducated wanna-be type) really doesn't
understand what conditions are like on cattle farms or chicken farms or pig
farms. (Etc) As I've said before, I know a "True" Vegan and have met a few
others. Most of them fall into the propoganda and think that Cattle are
being abused and tortured etc etc etc, when the the fact is that is far from
the truth. I still say that there are bound to be bad apples in the
industry, but to paint all cattle producers (Etc) as cruel animal abusers
just shows ignorance of the facts. I always suggest a trip to a working
livestock farm. It may not make you change your mind about eating meat (And
that's you decision to make) but it often times opens eyes as to how the
animals are actually treated.
