I'm still awaiting for PETA to start a campaign where they attempt to convince wolves or bears to stop eating wildebeest. I mean, if boy is a dog is a cat is a fish or whatever, then why shouldn't we hold predators to the same standards PETA folks want us to hold ourselves? Convincing of the wolves and bears should involve stern talking-to, possibly combined with nudity. But still:

Quote:
PETA= People Eating Tasty Animals
Every time people tell really, really, really overused jokes, PETA animal shelters kill a kitten.

mm...

Beating dogs is bad.

Beating (live) chickens is bad.

Just keeping chickens well enough to stay disease and mutation free is good.

Frying and eating chickens is very good.

I think all the PETA people should be cooked and fried, so they can better know what chickens suffer.

I don't know, but after frying camels and little taliban, we should try some chicken now.

Let's start with Cantonese chicken.

No. That is wrong.

But PETA is a bunch of raving lunatics. I eat beef. I eat pork. I eat chicken. Now go away PETA.

Because dogs and cats are not used for food (I am talking about the 1st world and in good restaurants, not in China or some cheap Chinese restaurant).

Don't try to make it look like I am a hypocrite. I hate PETA as it is an illogical organization.

I kinda think I did eat cat before at this cheap restaurant. If I knew it was, no I would not eat it. What's the point?

Would you not eat it because you thought it was wrong to do it, or because there's a cultural taboo against it?

If you think it's wrong, explain how it is.

If you cannot explain how it's wrong, then explain how you are not a hypocrite.

If you're being affected by a cultural taboo, that's perfectly understandable, so am I. But that's something I'm trying to get over.

Ming - if you think about it, is there really a hypocracy in a PETA member wearing leather? Do they have to be vegetarian? They might just be wanting to ensure that animals should be treated humanely before they're killed.

I mean, would you prefer to be just killed or tortured first?

If KFC are treating animals poorly then of course something should be done about it, no question. Animals can still suffer.

Cultural taboo is totally the answer. I am never going to eat cat or dog, and I wouldn't suggest it.

I'm not a vegetarian myself, but often when eating meat I can't see it as anything other than flesh, which makes me feel really ill.

I wouldn't stop anyone else doing it, it's just the way I feel sometimes.

Whoa... Fez... we stopped an argument from happening between the two of us. That's... amazing... that's... whoa.

But yah, people should either have nothing wrong with killing living organisms, or they should be totally against it. I see nothing wrong with it, because I'm all about humans succeeding. I'd rape the rest of the world if it were in the best interests of humanity.

But, it's not. Preserving the environment is actually good for humanity. We need these resources.

Actually KFC has instated reforms to better ensure chicken health so it tastes better.

PETA has rejected it.

Actually no it is not a good thing, PETA goes too far with everything. And they won't change my eating habits.

Over the past few years I've become convinced that PETA is actually funded by the meat industry, in an attempt to make all vegitarians look like raving lunatics.
