That's true, I don't care if you barbaric fuckers eat dead animals, the rotting flesh and fat of dead animals. It's the inaccurate bullshit that you people continue to spew in this thread that I care about.

Doesn't matter though. Vegans aren't really people anyway, much like cyclists and bus drivers.

They're rotting, just like the flesh and fat of dead animals. But unlike animals, vegetables are not sentient creatures.

Posted: **December 14, 2011, 9:17 pm**

Sentient implies self-awareness. I've said this before, I think. You sure like to slightly alter word definitions and sometimes misuse completely to make your pseudo-point.

And it's not rotting, it is being seared to perfection, with nice grill marks. Dry-aging is far superior to standard steak preparation. You shouldn't feel too bad though for not being able to cook--most people just end up trying harder or going out to dinner instead of being driven to veganism due to rape-fantasy guilt.

Crap, I am arguing with a non-person again. Damn cyclists.

The animals that you people eat (cows, pigs, chickens, etc.) are sentient creatures. Just as sentient as cats and dogs, which are commonly kept as pets and protected under the law in the United States from torture and slaughter.

Some would argue that trees are sentient too but that doesn't stop you from raping them and eating their babies.

There's nothing wrong with eating dogs, cats, etc either if people want to, in fact:

President Obama last month quietly signed into law a spending bill that restores the American horse-slaughter industry, just a few months after a government investigation said the ban on slaughtering was backfiring.

They don't rape trees. They simply try to make sweet sweet love with them.

They partially rape field mice and the like, and certainly fantasize about raping cattle. It is all a rather wonky.

They work, fend for themselves or get eaten in most of the world and historically did until recently here too.

"Pet" animals are a luxury item for the wealthy and food secure, just as much as TV or a car is. The Disney-fication of them as sentient beings and all the other crap that's arisen from it is simply silly*. Which doesn't mean I support torture of them or any other animal, using a normal definition of the term.

Not on my menu but dog is supposed to be quite tasty, I've probably eaten it. Would assume cat would be a bit funky.

Animals have always been sentient. A lot of things have always been. Like the earth being round. We didn't always think it was round, but it was. And it didn't take some fictitious nonsense to make it round. People being born gay, as another example. That wasn't always known. But even when we didn't know, people were being born gay. We got smarter, we figured it out. And we'll continue to get smarter and figure things out. We've already figured out that animals are sentient creatures. We've already figured out that global warming is real and that God isn't.

But that doesn't prevent people from believing otherwise. People are free to believe whatever they want. Just as you people are free to believe that the animals that live short, miserable, tortured lives, before being slaughtered for your meals were not sentient. That they had no ability to feel, that they didn't suffer. That the loud, shrieking noises a bull makes as its horns are being ripped off of its fucking head isn't because it's in pain, because you believe that animals are incapable of feeling pain. That animals are incapable of sentience. But having a belief doesn't make it true.

Gary Francione also bases his abolitionist theory of animal rights, which differs significantly from Singer's, on sentience. He asserts that "all sentient beings, humans or nonhuman, have one right: the basic right not to be treated as the property of others."

No one, as far as I know. But the horns of bulls in factory farms are routinely ripped off of their heads.

With all the violence, rape and other awful things happening against humans (you know, the animals from your very same genus), the well-being of the delicious animals we eat should be a distant concern.

I've posted links to videos. The videos show the bulls getting their horns ripped off of their heads. If you people insist on eating animals, you really should educate yourselves on this stuff. By eating animals, you're basically paying people to torture and slaughter them.

Ok so you saw like.. this one video.. with this one thing.. and in your mind the frequency becomes "routine"? Got it. Thanks for those hard hitting science FACTS once again.

Here's a hint: The keyword in my previous response was routinely?. I wasn't questioning whether it happens or not I was just wanting to get an idea on the frequency. If you weren't frothing at the mouth and hitting F5 fervently (rabies?) perhaps you'd actually read shit and make a comment that's relevant to the discussion.

Actually, horn removal improves overall flavor. It is like pre-tenderizing. I was tempted today to run over a Canadian Goose that was trying to cross in front of my truck...I forgot if they were protected or not so let it go...for now.

It's funny how nobody flinches when a squirrel is run down in a moment of glee, but anything larger is frowned upon? I feel I should be able to take out cyclists, ducks, squirrels and bus drivers alike.

Need to also remember to pick up a nice rib roast to have cut into steaks so I have some time to do a little dry aging before Saturday. These are organic local cows and die just like the others.

For real people: Any of yall buy an entire cow or go in on one with others (pre-butchered)? It is pretty popular up here and you can definitely save a ton of cash!

I didn't know we were back to talking specifically about that. It's not like we can have a normal conversation with you. You're like a child with ADD... You're all over the fuckin place. When we inquire on the health issues you then jump over to the moral side of things. Then when someone responds to that you jump back to health issues. And when that doesn't work you throw around "you people" like you're talking down to us from atop your holy fucking dias.

So.. Do you have statistics on the horns being torn off while alive thing that I was curious about? Other than you saw it in a video once so it must be the norm across all slaughterhouses.

That's the way to go for sure. I hear it ends up being ~2.99/lb (or maybe 1.99). I'd like half a cow and half a pig. That would be fucking great since I no longer have a hunter that gives me free elf and deer backstraps, ground meat, etc.

Soooo much is lost in translation when it gets to the chain grocers. I end up overpaying at New Seasons, QFC, Thriftway, Whole foods, etc.

I doubt there are any statistics on the number of horns being ripped off of bulls. But in addition to bulls having their horns ripped off, chickens have their beaks sliced off and pigs have their tails and testicles removed. The factory farms don't want you to know about their inhumane practices.

Agnostic Carnivores and Global Warming: Why Enviros Go After Coal and Not Cows

There’s not a single person who’s done more to fight climate change than Bill McKibben. Through thoughtful books, ubiquitous magazine contributions, and, most notably, the founding of 350.org (an international non-profit dedicated to fighting global warming), McKibben has committed his life to saving the planet. For all the passion fueling his efforts, though, there’s something weirdly amiss in his approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions: neither he nor 350.org will actively promote a vegan diet.

Given the nature of our current discourse on climate change, this omission might not seem a problem. Vegans are still considered as sort of “out there,” a fringe group of animal rights activists with pasty skin and protein issues. However, as a recent report from the World Preservation Foundation confirms, ignoring veganism in the fight against climate change is sort of like ignoring fast food in the fight against obesity. Forget ending dirty coal or natural gas pipelines. As the WPF report shows, veganism offers the single most effective path to reducing global climate change.

The evidence is powerful. Eating a vegan diet, according to the study, is seven times more effective at reducing emissions than eating a local meat-based diet. A global vegan diet (of conventional crops) would reduce dietary emissions by 87 percent, compared to a token 8 percent for “sustainable meat and dairy.” In light of the fact that the overall environmental impact of livestock is greater than that of burning coal, natural gas, and crude oil, this 87 percent cut (94 percent if the plants were grown organically) would come pretty close to putting 350.org out of business, which I’m sure would make McKibben a happy man.

You remind me of the people that believed Bush when he said Iraq had WMDs. While there might be a or 2 farms that practice that, I doubt there are thousands. You claiming that it routinely happens is something you and your vegan butt buddies made up.

Statistically likely at any rate

The article above on meat, specifically beef production and greenhouse gasses is sound. Most other animals are far less of an issue. There are systems available to compost the poo and burn the methane to power the farm, doubt they've caught on in the US. Doesn't quite balance out the emissions but makes a major dent in them.

I don't know if they take all the secondary effects of agriculture though and given the inherent bias of anyone who would make the study I couldn't take the results at face value regardless.

A cow spends most of it's life standing in a field farting and waiting to be eaten, and is created by another pair of cows (sometimes anyway).

Just the chain preparing for the planting of a commercial crop is a veritable trail of destruction involving just about every kind of air, land and water pollution you can imagine and some I bet you can't.

But once again, you're justifying a moral choice, which no one has a problem with, using science that doesn't generally pan out if you widen your scope. Common issue with zealots of any stripe.
