Animal cruelty

Post Reply New Topic

I'm a member of HSUS. I am against the baby seal hunt that goes on in Eastern Canada. I refuse to eat at restaurants that serve Canadian seafood and most definitely refuse to visit any part of Canada. Don't know why it still goes on. I have seen the footages and it just breaks my heart. I call the people who abuse these baby seals words that I can't put on here. I dislike the dog and cat fur trade that goes on in China. I know in some parts of Korea they eat dog meat. It's quite sad really.

If people get a dog, why put it outside in the rain, heat and cold? Bring the dog in. A dog is like a member of a family. Most houses I saw in Seoul always had a dog tied up outside. It angered me. I definitely care more for animals than humans. Reading about someone abusing a defenseless puppy makes me sad. I don't know about the US but we need a more stricter policy against animal abuse. I despise Michael Vick. He shouldn't even be playing NFL. He should be mopping floors for the rest of his life or cleaning poop.

I was raised on a farm.
We cared for our cows, pigs, chickens etc.

Yet I can grab a chicken, cut it's head off, pluck, clean and eat it.

I can cut a sheep's throat, hang it up by it's back legs, skin and butcher it.

Foxes eat hens. Hens eat bugs.

We are born carnivores so why should we pretend otherwise?

We're at the top of the food chain. I have no obligation to protect the genetic code of competing species. However, there is no reason to cause suffering in animals when it can be avoided. N.B. I do not count slaughtering a cow using modern techniques as undue suffering.

Something which many hardcore animal rights activists don't seem to realise is that many of the animals we kill for food would run the risk of extinction if we eliminated meat-eating.

"Sorry Mrs. cow, we need this land to grow corn because a law is about to be passed that prevents us from eating you. But don't fret, you're going to look simply amazing as one of the last ever pairs of leather boots to be crafted by man. The rarity value alone will set me up for life. Thanks Peta!"

Animals we breed for food get a chance at a life they would otherwise never enjoy. The trade-off for that is being slaughtered and eaten.

Spoken like a true Maddox fan.

adifferentname has basically said what I would have said.

Maddox?


I did try a vegan diet for few days and couldn't do it. I do not eat lamb, veal or baby back ribs. I can't have any soy products so I can't be a vegan. Soy milk makes me sick. I tried the veggie hot dogs and got so sick from the taste. I do eat veggie burgers as long as they don't have soy. I also tried veggie chicken strips and the taste was awful. But when dining out I do tend to get mostly vegetables. I love to eat seafood such as salmon. I don't eat lobsters or crabs though. The other day I had Vegetarian Pho Noodles and it was actually quite good. I can avoid all poultry and red meats products, but never seafood. Being half Korean I do eat tons of vegetables.
