Cows Or Humans

[Lamsey]

Not the kind of situation I would ever want to find myself in.

The hypothetical situation of having to choose between two lives is quite possibly one of the most frightening things i can visualise. Particularly if it was two humans.

well i'm gonna defend the farmers in this one because i like my steak and chips

Hitler and co. wanted to wipe the word 'Jew' off the face of the planet, farmers carefully kill enough chickens that is needed to feed everyone and make a living

another thought is that the alternative to KFC is soylent green

so if you could only save one, would you save a mouse or a cow? j/k

If i was back to basic: Cow because of the milk
If i had a huge huge garden: Cow because it could cut my gras
If i was in a flat: Mouse because i have a nice pet that way
If i was bored: Mouse, because i could teach it some tricks

Yeah... the chicken thing is carefully calculated so that they can go on killing the chickens forever, over and over again?

What if Hitler had farmed Jews?

Bloody hell, that's some practicality. I'd never have gotten beyond the ethical argument in my head. Your pragmatic approach is to be admired!

Sorry, I just realised you wouldn't get the cow thing, seeing as the cow lives on a different forum :">

Anyway, back on topic, the battery hens are a good example of what I meant about intensive farming. I would urge people, whether meat-eaters or not to spend the small extra cash on free-range chicken or eggs. Although personally, I'd rather not eat either

Yay&#33; I&#39;m saved&#33;

I would try to save the mouse and the cow, but i don&#39;t think i could carry the cow....

It&#39;s OK, it&#39;s relevant anyway as my girlfriend&#39;s nickname here is WeeMouse...





edit: there she is, posting before me again...

[Tyke]

I&#39;d kind of guessed that a long time ago

See..... I say he owes me something and all of a sudden he vanished

My view is very simplistic and obvious.

To liken Farmers to Hitler is an insult to Farmers and Jews.

To liken farming of chickens to the systematic attempt at genocide of an entire section of humanity is an obscenity.

To liken intensive farming to concentration camps is frankly beyond my comprehension.

If this is the thinking of modern youth I happily remove myself from it.
