If dog fighting is sooo bad (that you can go to jail for it)...

if you treat your animals with dignity you are cool with me.

 

Basically we have a very long intestine, carn's have a short one.

 

clipping off a beak


typical scene in factory farm


people said the same about slavery.
Nazi's said the same about killing jews

 

And the Panda (a herbivore) has a short intestine, has to eat 20 to 40 pounds of leaves a day and craps every 5 hours.

People and people.

People and people.

 

:hammer: :hammer:

 

SET THE PIGS FREE!!!!!! Actually, maybe that isn't a great idea. A few years ago my neighbor's pigs got free, and most of them were viciously killed and eaten by dogs and coyotes... Not very humane. Natural though.

 

cutting off chicken beaks would get you jail time if you did it to a pet. they cut off millions of beaks every year

 

You can allways buy free range products if you dont want to go witj tje battery versions.

 

is that british slang?

In my view that is despicable behavior for a grown adult. It is a blood lust that satisfies some people. Take for example: Fighting Siamese Fish, Fighting Chinese Crickets, Fighting Game Roosters and Fighting Bull Dogs. If Mike Vic wants to fight something then he should fight Mike Tyson. Since Iron Mike is in decline then let him wear the football helmet where Mike Vic does not. I would put my money on the other Mike. I forgot to add, no gloves

 

The point is there are exceptions to everything and animals evolve differently. Stone tools for butchering meat first appear in the fossil record about 2.5 million years ago and we have evolved along that path ever since.

Do you know a main difference between chimps and gorillas? Chimps eat meat and gorillas don't. If we had not switched to a meat rich diet, we would not have become intelligent enough for fringe elements to be able to have someone find all the varied foods needed to survive on a vegan diet.

I am sure some fringe element caveman group said the same thing about the animals they ate for food.

 

StuJoe, the main difference betweem chimps and gorillas is that gorillas are vegans. But if you put a healthy silver back in the ring with a healthy male chimp, I would bet on the gorilla.

In ancient Rome when the games were going on, one sick Tiger would kill every healthy Lion it could get hold of. True story.

You are going to find this hard to believe but a Tiger never lost a fight to a Lion, even it the Tiger was emaceated.

 

Cutting of the beak of a chicken only prevents them from pecking and injuring the other birds in the cage. It does not prevent them from eating or anything else. It's a safety factor for themselves and recommended by the SPCA for foul being penned togather.

Besides, I don't eat the beak of the bird! Do you?

 

Danr, it's an imperfect world, and you can't live unless something else [plant or animal] dies. My guess is that you've never even caught, cleaned, and cooked a fish in your life. But that's the basic process by which food is produced, and for better or worse humans are healthier if they consume protein.

 

When I was a kid I noticed that on our way home that the free range chickens always tried to get to the other side of the road. This was perplexing to me but science has found the answer. When chickens get confused they try to get back to their nest, usually on the other side of the road since they headed for the greener grass.

 

Just what I thought! A city slicker......has no idea why the chicken crossed the road.

 

Some of those conditions are horrible.
But, the machine that is Capitolism allows it for more of the almighty dollar.

As far as eating animals, it's natural.
Human beings are animals, just like the rest of the kingdom.
If it can down to survival, humans would and have become canibalistic.

Yes, we have a conscience, but primitive instinct runs deeper.
