If they are going to eat the meat and not waste it, then I have no quarrel

*except*

To me there is something inherently wrong with eating animals
that have higher intelligence than average.

Don't get me wrong, I have no quarrel with cute or cuddly, just
animals that exhibit a higher than average intelligence. Likewise,
I wouldn't want to eat animals that serve us (or used to serve us) like
horses and dogs, carrier pigeons and the like. That also seems
inherently wrong. If I'm realllly hungry though, and you are a lower life
form, then I WILL eat you.

(Just one more thought, if aliens do exist, and they come visit us,
I HOPE they feel the same way I do. Because, of the many reasons
aliens may land here, IMO usiing us as an interesting food source
would be right at the top of the list. *Okay, I'm going to go off on a tangent...

Think about it. It is highly likely that aliens will take nearly the same
form as we; two eyes (at least) two arms, two legs, several articulating
digits, perhaps similiar senses--like ~taste~. If they are like us, they
are water based life forms, consume bio-mass and liquid and perhaps
get ~jaded~ and begin looking for exotic meats. --insanity warning--

Alien one
"Have you tried Human yet?"

Alien two
"No, I hear it is a delicacy beyond delicacies, but very expensive."

Alien one
"That's what I came here to talk to you about. I have this idea.
We could go into business for ourselves. My associate has
eleven mass-cryo-transports that could easily be retro-fitted
with to bring back hundreds of thousands of humans if we could
only get licensed. I want to have humans declassified as a non-food
source and get them off the list. I mean c'mon, we are talking
about a TASTY meat here. It seems such a shame for it to be
wasted on the black market. If you could swing this thru it could be
HUGE....and ummm, of course you're in for say 20 percent. *wink wink*

lol, sorry



ps. I also want to add that I would make an exception at pigs...
I know they are one of the most intelligent species, but DANG they
shore do taste good

The Faroe Islands are not part of the EU.

Such a lot of hypocracy here 98.1 million pigs were slaughtered 2002 in the USA after living in appalling conditions.
Pigs are said to have the intelligence of a 3 year old child.
Pigs are the smartest of domesticated animals, with fascinating personalities. They are engaging, curious, social, affectionate, and playful. Scientists have discovered that pigs have surprisingly complex, sophisticated, and agile mental abilities. Pigs can concentrate, think, observe, learn, remember, and communicate. Pigs strategize and compete; they dream and they forgive. They listen to music and they play with toys.

I am a long time vegan because of cruelty in farming.

Then there is the endangered orang-utan all of us responsible for this. I am ashamed of the British company for being part of it.

It's burning season on Indonesia's Sumatra island, where vast tracts of vegetation are being torched and clear-felled to meet the soaring global demand for palm oil. The pace is especially frenzied in the peat swamp forests of the Tripa region, one of the final refuges of the critically endangered orang-utan – and a company owned by one of Britain's most venerable trading groups is among those leading the destructive charge.


Prized for its productiveness and versatility, palm oil is used in everything from lipstick and detergent to chocolate, crisps and biofuels. Indonesia and Malaysia are the world's biggest palm oil producers – but they also shelter the last remaining orang-utans, found only on Sumatra and Borneo islands in the same lowland forests that are being razed to make way for massive plantations

Us in developed world have been killing the earth for many years, we have also lost respect for the food we eat. Who cares about the history of the chop of steak that ends up on the dinner plate.

Hi/
People today are not content with the food they already have to eat,
and so their tastes require a new menu.
It's greed,amongst many other things that leads man to do such things!(there are foods that can poison oneself when eaten,but people pay lot's of money to eat it!go figure?)
I cannot understand why there should be people starving in todays society and others merely having
never satisfied with what they have.
There are also people who are too selfish and only think of themselves and their full bellies!
Not only has man destroyed nature,
the animal kingdom,
the oceans and all else living,
Man has also corrupted the earth,
through wars and power to get higher up in the ladder,
man has forgotten what God had said...and therefore man will bring on their OWN destruction.

Man will only be content, when man is no longer human,
but some type of human type, cloned type, robot.
There, is when man's satisfaction lies!
No longer a human, but a living being, with no soul!
~Man wants to destroy God , if not already, we are getting there!
Man wont be content until all is replaced with some type of Beast!
Maybe things would have been alot better if God created animals to be in charge of Humans,
then Life on earth, would not be in the state it is at!
As some already here said eating meat....
It's has nothing to do whether one is a vegetarian or not,or whether they eat meat ,it's about.....
Killing of any living creature in ways as described as being 'barbaric' and therefore,should not be acceptable.


Psalm 104
~Praise to the Sovereign LORD for His Creation and Providence~
Bless the LORD, O my soul!

O LORD my God, You are very great:
You are clothed with honor and majesty,
Who cover Yourself with light as with a garment,
Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain.

He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters,
Who makes the clouds His chariot,
Who walks on the wings of the wind,
Who makes His angels spirits,
His ministers a flame of fire.

You who laid the foundations of the earth,
So that it should not be moved forever,
You covered it with the deep as with a garment;
The waters stood above the mountains.
At Your rebuke they fled;
At the voice of Your thunder they hastened away.
They went up over the mountains;
They went down into the valleys,
To the place which You founded for them.
You have set a boundary that they may not pass over,
That they may not return to cover the earth.

He sends the springs into the valleys;
They flow among the hills.
They give drink to every beast of the field;
The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
By them the birds of the heavens have their home;
They sing among the branches.
He waters the hills from His upper chambers;
The earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works.

He causes the grass to grow for the cattle,
And vegetation for the service of man,
That he may bring forth food from the earth,
And wine that makes glad the heart of man,
Oil to make his face shine,
And bread which strengthens man’s heart.
The trees of the LORD are full of sap,
The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,
Where the birds make their nests;
The stork has her home in the fir trees.
The high hills are for the wild goats;
The cliffs are a refuge for the rock badgers.[a]

He appointed the moon for seasons;
The sun knows its going down.
You make darkness, and it is night,
In which all the beasts of the forest creep about.
The young lions roar after their prey,
And seek their food from God.
When the sun rises, they gather together
And lie down in their dens.
Man goes out to his work
And to his labor until the evening.

O LORD, how manifold are Your works!
In wisdom You have made them all.
The earth is full of Your possessions—
This great and wide sea,
In which are innumerable teeming things,
Living things both small and great.
There the ships sail about;
There is that Leviathan
Which You have made to play there.

These all wait for You,
That You may give them their food in due season.
What You give them they gather in;
You open Your hand, they are filled with good.
You hide Your face, they are troubled;
You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.
You send forth Your Spirit, they are created;
And You renew the face of the earth.

May the glory of the LORD endure forever;
May the LORD rejoice in His works.
He looks on the earth, and it trembles;
He touches the hills, and they smoke.

I will sing to the LORD as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
May my meditation be sweet to Him;
I will be glad in the LORD.
May sinners be consumed from the earth,
And the wicked be no more.

Bless the LORD, O my soul!
Praise the LORD!

Factory fodder??? Do you drink milk? Do you grill steaks on sunday's? How about a hot dog at a ball game? Hell, what do you feed your dog?
I hold this site in high regard but please understand LIFE!!
However,,, I apreciate the happy meal quote... Kudos on that one.
Barbaric as it may seem, we appreciate our carniverous conforts in part to such acts. Judge one judge all. Mirror time
