Not really...... but I can think of some interesting uses for a basting brush

Wouldn't BBQ sauce burn on any place.........interesting?

Grins Not if you lick it off fast enough!

You too?

Yo EBW, are you totally vegan or do you just abstain from flesh?

Do you drink beer? Do you know what animal products are in many commercial beers?

Do you wear leather? Suede?

Do you buy fruits & veggies from major grocery store chains, or even small from small country stores? Do you know how many fluffy little rabbits & gophers died for your salad?

Do you think carnivorous pets should be forced to eat vegetarian to satisfy our human morality? Are lions evil because they kill to eat?

Not picking on you, just throwing out questions. I'm not for killing, but I also recognize that nature isn't compassionate. Killing to eat is part of the cycle. Yes, we humans do it to an insane degree. I think factory farms are wrong, for a multitude of reasons. But can we say that an animal killing in order to eat - to LIVE - is wrong? Is my cat morally corrupt? (she's a big fat brat, but that's another story)

1)Well, I'd like to be vegan but I haven't gone that way yet.

2) I don't drink beer anymore.

3) I don't drape carcass around my body, thank you very much.

4) I buy most of my vegetables from Farmers markets but I get your point. I do have to eat though. Not to worry however, my vegetable garden will be up and running to the point where I can strictly control what I eats.

5) Got no problem with creatures that are naturally carnivorous. We ain't though.

6) Shucks I can say, quite easily, that killing to eat is very very wrong for humans. I don't know your cat intimately enough to pass moral judgement but cat's tend not to kill their prey for their main source of food. We kill the animals for them. I say let the cats do their own dirty work.

 

[Weevil]

I am an unappologetic carnivore. I love meat and I don't trust those who don't.

Oh yeah! For you Canucks ......You want something mean on the "Q" get yourself some ribeyes and a bottle of Presidents Choice "Memories of Kobe" Garlic Tamarind marinade.

Well you're an omnivore but whatever. Sad to hear I'm not trustworthy because of lack of willingness to butcher Bambi.

Also, ignore his recipe fellow canucks. Cous-Cous and Presidents Choice "Memories of Szechwan" Peanut Sauce. Attica!

in defense of factory farms

My guess is that well over 90% of the meat we buy from grocery stores and restaurants comes from "so-called" factory farms. (probably closer to 100%) Even a lot of the fish we eat is farm raised. I don't see the problem.

Forty thousand chickens in one chicken house that will go from biddies to KFC in six weeks, sounds like a great idea to me. (They're friggin chickens.) Frankly, if a chicken lives a very unhappy six week life, ... I don't care.

Whether it's cattle, hogs or chickens, being productive is what we expect from farmers. A farmer makes his profit by getting the best "feed to weight" ratio he can get. As a result, we pay a little over a dollar per pound for hamburger meat rather than five or six times that amount.

I hunt because I enjoy it, not because it's a practical method of putting food on the table. And of course, I don' waste the meat, that would be stupid.... since, by the time you add up all the costs of hunting, the meat probably costs more than a T-Bone at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.

 

[Weevil]

Well, enjoy your little chicken holocaust then.

3) I don't drape carcass around my body, thank you very much.

Me neither. Plether's so much lighter. Fur's always been ugly. And it smells.

5) Got no problem with creatures that are naturally carnivorous. We ain't though.

True, point taken. We're omnivores, though, not herbivores. We have meat-eating teeth as well.

I didn't eat meat for years, but I'm back eating chicken & seafood again. It tastes good, especially fish. No, I don't enjoy killing. But it's really hard to maintain a vegan lifestyle, and I think that eating dairy products is just as bad as eating meat. Vegans spend way too much time worrying about what they eat and when they eat it. I've got too many other issues - freedom of speech, for one, and the feral cat problem which I'm currrently obsessed with - that are more important to me. If I spend all that time grocery shopping and cooking and hunting down supplements, I can't put the time into the causes I really believe in.

But no mad cow sandwiches for me, thanks. And no pork, never liked the stuff.

6) Shucks I can say, quite easily, that killing to eat is very very wrong for humans. I don't know your cat intimately enough to pass moral judgement but cat's tend not to kill their prey for their main source of food. We kill the animals for them. I say let the cats do their own dirty work.

Yeah, but the stray cats in my neighborhood do enough to destroy the natural fauna in my area. I don't need my kittie out there helping them kill off the last of the native wildlife. And I ain't buying mice & live birds for Aiko so she can catch & kill her own meat. If I wanted a snake, I'd get a snake. So the only real alternative is to buy a bag of ready-made murder.

Kudos to you for putting your money where your mouth is, though. You're remarkably consistent on the killing issue, and I respect that.

I'm going out for turkey subs. Catch y'all later.

You know, I really am consistent. I challenge any catholics out there to be as genuinely pro-life as I am.

think of the hapless Walking Birds Laurel, Boohoohoooohooo

 

[OUTSIDER]

Ok I've said all this before but I think it has a bearing hear so I'll say it again, I for the most part eat veggy's and maybe only eat meat once or twice a week, but if I've been without meat for a while I start to dream about it in my sleep.

I have been a poacher of rabbit's at midnight with a dog and a lamp, I have snared them or used nets and ferret's to catch them, I've hunted hares with hound's and I'm proud to say I never wasted anything I caught.

There's nothing that makes you feel as good as eating something you've caught yourself.

LMAO! Excellent point.

I am all for the death penalty in this case! After all, it does seem a bit pointless to feed them and give them cable and pay for their existence for the rest of their lives. Maybe we should just cut off their arms and legs! Oh wait, we already do!

Ya had to go and mention it and now my mouth is watering, Texan. I want to retire at either Ruth's Chris Steakhouse or The Petroleum Club if I am in Houston. Or Morton's anywhere else.
