Hi, on a topic-rant now!!
This one has been done a cuople of times lately, so for most it's clear who will jump in now.
I at least expect lamsey to join in and make us all feel bad for doing our carnival likings......
I consider myself an absolut animallover.
I act this out by having a bunch of very lovely animals and donating to several charity's, amongst them brooke's hospital for horses, wich does wonders in India for maltreated or overworked horses. Money well spent!!!
I have a horse.
I do eat horse. Not mine.
I have a rabbit.
I do eat rabbit. Not mine.
I do have a dog.
I won't eat dog. Sentimental reasons. Just don't like the idea.
I have a few cats.
Same as dogs.
I have very much fish.
I love eating fish. Not mine, they're too small.
No dolphins, too cute!!
I also have a girlfriend.
I eat ......[yeah, you wish!!]
When i was young(those days......)i once declined meat for a year. For principle reasons. We use soybeans from thirdworldcountrys to feed our cattle, you will need 8 kgr. of corn to get one kilo meat, bio-industry, henna in my long hair, doing proteststuff and bla, bla, bla.......
I just couldn't do without meat. Just too damn good.
The moment i started sneaking burgers in a backalley, i realised: this veggie-thing not for me.......
I like porterhouse steak soup, courtesy of UKman/SensualGardening!!!
Grtz,
Yogi
Edit: The lamb issue.
I love lamb!! Both alive and on my plate. But will not eat one i know.
Pup is same as above under: dog.
You feel that environmental conditioning may be the important factor in your decision on what it is reasonable to eat and what is not ?Originally posted by SniperInTheShadows@14 November 2003 - 00:46
I'm soz to say that even though I think some animal's are great, alway's had pet's when I was growing up, I am a meat eater :-(
I'm not going to make any excuses as I know in the end it's my choice what I eat, but I believe it's partialy to do with being brought up to love some animal's yet being given other's to eat and I don't think I could change my way's at this stage :-(

Thank you for the honest answer btw. It takes courage to explain your motivation in such a manner.
I suspect Hormod may have had the exactly the opposite influences, he may chose to confirm or deny this.
Yup, both parents raised me as a vegetarian. However, if I had ever decided that I wanted to eat meat, they would have respected that - as long as I could justify it ethically.Originally posted by J'Pol@13 November 2003 - 23:54

Thankfully, I've never felt that urge.

I am sure that the people here will respect your right to have and express your own opinion. Even if they may not agree with it.
That would just be common courtesy.

Well, venison isn't fawn. Usually it looks like this:
I used to live on a working farm/orchard. It's since been sold.However, if you're raising animals for meat, the worst thing you can do is name them. If you name them (something other than Cow or Pig), you become personally attached, as that's the way the mind tends to work. Small children are bad for this. But you care for them to the best of your ability, and in return they care for you (animals, not small children). Life goes on.
It is quite possible to love animals and to eat them. I won't eat "baby" animals, though. For the most part, I find that it doesn't taste very good. Some "taboos" (such as eating dog or cat) is more of a social thing than anything else. In other cultures it is perfectly acceptable.
things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
so, he does
the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
-- WW2 for the l33t

id eat a dog or cat. but not our alfred, i think that the names thing for ya
Sorry MN, my mistake. I'm not too hot on the links between meat names and sources, as you might expect
Yes, the worst thing you can do is name an animal you intend to slaughter. Because then you realise it is an intelligent being, with a mind and emotions. That way, the fact that "murder" and "slaughter" are very, very close together becomes more apparent.
