I do volenteer work for the local animal shelter here in town, and there is a petition I want as many people to sing as possable! You would not only be helping me out by singing this, but it will bring us one step closer to stoping animal abuse.

Please support this issue so that change can be brought about. We cannot allow these injustices to continue!

Most of us who feel nothing when watching animals being slaughtered are not cold and heartless towards animals,
You rang? in fact I happily kill, skin, field strip, cook and eat my own animals so not only do I watch slaughter house videos I will in fact study them for technique pointers

I'm here because it makes me smile to see people get so worked up by my cynicism. If you can't handle one guy on a message board, how are you going to deal with the hundreds of people worse than me in the real world?
It MEANS U really don't care about ANIMALS!!!U should'nt even been on this page!!!
So what? And this is a website where everyone has a right to voice their own personal opinion, be it for or against. Most of us who feel nothing when watching animals being slaughtered are not cold and heartless towards animals, we're just tougher than you.

Anyways, I have indeed seen slaughterhouse pictures. I've watched PETA's videos, but none of it really bothers me. Don't know why, but oh well.

that by the way had no reason to die except for that someone was hungry
Eh...it's called survival. I think it would be bad if we killed just for the pleasure of killing and just let the meat rot. If it's for eating and because someone is hungry, than it makes sense.
"In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act." - George Orwell
I mean if you have ever seen pictures of slaughter houses or dead animals ,that by the way had no reason to die except for that someone was hungry, you wouldn't like meat so much.
I've seen some of the most disgusting and brutal slaughterhouse images you can think of. I've also seen videos of people slaughtering pigs by slitting their throats and letting them bleed out and a video of a turkey getting its head chopped off and flapping around for a few minutes. Does it make like meat less? NO. Because I'm not a vagina.
Death is a part of nature. Killing to feed ourselves is a part of nature. We're no different from a Puma mauling a toddler to death because it was hungry.

Hey cplo13 do you have any clue what you are saying? You sound so stupid! Meat is good, you are right but think about the animal that it came from. That poor cow or turkey or chiken that was slaughtered because you were hungry. My dad is a hunter and my mom grew up on a farm where they slaughtered there own animals. So I grew up around all of that but when i ate meat I felt guilty. I love animals and I know that it has been this way since the beginning of time but, things are changing now. I mean if you have ever seen pictures of slaughter houses or dead animals ,that by the way had no reason to die except for that someone was hungry, you wouldn't like meat so much. I miss eating meat but im happy im like this because I'm saving animals lives. THey can't speak for themselves that is why we are here. Well kind of.
I like knowing where it comes from and what goes into my body, i'm not into all these preservatives and additives,
Perhaps you didn't understand me: cloned meat is natural. It has no preservatives. It is the same stuff that comes from animals, simply without the animal. And you can't seriously tell me that animals aren't natural.
quote:
No but the more people who "simply dont eat meat" the better the effect on the environment.
In order to do that, every single man, woman, and child on earth would have to abstain from meat. This planet has a penchant for fixing itself. The efforts of a relatively small group of people (that is to say vegans) will not significantly affect the ecosystem of an entire planet.
Besides, getting people to give up meat does nothing. The negative effects on the environment that you speak of are caused by the meat industry. You'd have to get rid of that whole industry, which is impossible because any amount of legislation would be blocked by lobbyists. And even if you took down the meat industry, you'd still have independent farmers to deal with. Finally, if you somehow managed to eliminate every cattle farm in existence...you'd still have thousands of other things that are detrimental to the environment. You'd have to get rid of the car industry, the tobacco industry...heck, you'd have to dispose of industry entirely! In order to eliminate all negative effects on the environment, you'd have to revert humanity to a state of existence akin to that of 500 years ago. I don't know about you, but I'd rather that not happen.
And in reference to shampoo or what, everything and anything, shampoo, body wash, shaving foam, blah blah ...
I tend to use natural products if that was what you were asking
"The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done"."
And we can not survive for much longer with such things as factory farming, because it's destroying our environment.
right so your new strategy is to ignore information that invalidates your claims and come back with what seems to be a random disconnected sentance? I agree factory farming is bad though, free range tastes much better.
Oh and I apologise that I didn't adress this earlier
quote:
also question what kind of products you use on your body
what exactly are you asking here? are you talking about shampoo or what?
I'm not disconnescting, I'm advancing. Anything you can say I will attempt to connect to, or make a point from, isnt that what debating is, I'm trying to fight for my side.

Our genetic code did not change in some way to go vegetarian also. Living vegan is an expansion of knowledge also, so be smart.
