IBen It isn't who we kill & eqat, but how they are kept and the quality of their life while they are waiting to feed us. The poor kitties in that film clip are not treated well, but hearded into tiny cages and made to suffer while they are waiting to die. I am not a vegitarian, and know that animals are dilled in large wuantities to feed me. But I wouod like to think that thewse animals lead happy relaxed lives before they reach full growth and are killed for my dinner plate. I eat "full range raised" chickens and beef that has been allowed to roam the green prarie before they were killed for me. This is part of my argument that outside cats asre OK. Its not the length of life that counts, but the quality of life until the end comes, that counts. If they have to be killed well, that's one thing. But to make them suffer before then is very wrong. Bill, IBen is a notorious troll on Usenet. Check out his history on Google Groups. Therefore...... Perhaps, but the point he is making is perfectly valid. As meat eaters, we are responsible for the raising and killing of millions of animals every year, so to disparage others for killing and eating cats is duplicious and discriminatory. Does a cat suffer more than a chicken? And if not, then why is it more dispicable to kill and eat one than a chicken? As a libertsrian and mathematician who believes in logic I am duty bound to answer this question. Just because cats are soft and furry and are comfortable on my lap, does that give me the right to treat them better than chickens? It's a reasonable argument. Many things done for cultural reaons make little sense. Here in the USA, rabbits are one animal that crosses the line from pet to food. Well, some kids keep frogs as pets and some people eat their legs but since I was one of those kids who had a pet frog I won't eat their legs. I remember an interview with some farmer who said that the difference is names. You can't name an animal that you plan to kill for food. A friend of my parents owned a pig farm in Louisiana. They made the mistake of making a pet out of one of the pigs who was the, "runt" of the litter. Then, one day, when he grew up, he got loose into the rest of the pigs, and of course, when they called, "Here Oinky" all the pigs came running, so they couldn't tell which one was Oinky, and whenever they had to kill a pig from then on, they thought it might be Oinky.... |

: Karen When I was in Hong Kong with the US Navy back in the late 50's. I ate in a small cafe in a section where I wasn't supposed to be. I couldn't read the menu, so I ordered the most expensive thing on it, which was only about 25 cents US. I thought I was eating chicken and rice. When I paid the bill, there was an old man by the door, and he said something to me in English, so I asked him what I ate. "Cat" he said. Perhaps that's why I keep so many cats now and treat them so well..... Is THAT why all the queue-jumper Chinese are heading for New Zealand??? |

IBen I am informed that human animals taste like and are therefore descibed as 'long-pig', by certain cultures that still exist. I don't eat pork so cannot comment on that! BTW, animal rights---jeez--next thing you know, they'll lock up psychopaths and other paedophiles! |

It ain't the length of life that counts, but the quality of life for as long as you have it. When you are ready to eat it, or can;t keep it any longer for whatever reason, then sneak up on it and, when it doesn;t suspect anything, kill it quickly, and don;t look back. But either way, I would suffer, because I miss my buddies when they are gone. Not for them, but for myself. I just wish that some kind person would do the same for me.... Sneak up behind me and when I least expect it, shoot me in the back of the head. What a nice way to go! |
