This Earthlings film is quite interesting, but I'm stilling eating a chorizo toastie during.
i believe i linked that film some years ago. Its grim stufff some of the more extreme case of animal cruelty. Skinning dogs alive, feeding tainted cynide laced dog food, gasing cats etc.
But frankly i want the meat. Not meet the cow.
Btw: Rabbit is great if cooked properly.
As is Kangaroo, although they are not really classed as pets...
Horse, on the other hand, just isn't that nice regardless of whether you see them as pets or not.
The fact that we don't eat certain animals is just a self made rule we put upon ourselves because of the way we have been brought up. It's the same as some people not wanting to eat rabbit because they see them as pets.
Btw: Rabbit is great if cooked properly.
Vegetarians tend to place human characteristics on animals, as though the pig knows he's going to become a pork joint. They're just animals. They don't think about life.
*EDIT* Before the point gets brought up, the likes of dogs and cats have been adopted into our society as friends by most. Now I'm not saying you can't be friends with a pig, but personally I don't want to eat dog. That doesn't mean I'll rule out meat completely though. Maybe if bacon wasn't so darn tasty, I'd be taking a pig for a walk.
And that's the way of the world it seems, why would I want a cute panda to die out rather than a pygmy louse? Who cares about a louse?
Can't really use that point pb, as most of the animals you suggest would be extinct would probably not be if it wasn't for us anyway.
That just re-enforces my point, though. It would mean even more animals extinct rather than less.
And if humans didn't exist then other animals would naturally be extinct from hunting each other as well.
Anyway, slightly off on a tangent, but isn't it funny how many animal rights activists care more about the cute animals than the ugly ones?
Bottom line if humans were treated like we treat some animals in some cases. then people would be up in arms. However everyone just says "oh well they are animals".
The real definition is how people see animals in comparison to ourselves. Not my opinion, just how I can imagine it being.
Me, like 99% of the world i presume, would prefer the animals to be treated well, but am not going to stop eating the meat if they aren't.
At the end of the day I sympathise with people who campaign for better lives for animals and certainly better ways of maintaining and slaughter, but some of these animals would now be extinct if it WASN'T for farming for food.
