whats the difference? They're all animals.. I don't believe we, as humans, have the right to dictate which animals are for food and which aren't. Thats why I don't understand why people get so worked up over other societies that DO eat dogs and cats. Its a way of life for them, and there are other societies that think that WE Americans are insane for eating cows! It's all a matter of what you believe. It does NOT imply mental illness, nor is it wrong to believe either way. If you don't like it, don't do it... But don't ruin someone else's dinner because of your own personal beliefs.

where do you get the animal fats and pritoeins that your body (more importantly your brain) basically runs on?
what you really need is a balanced diet.

Tofu. Its more nutritous then meat, and the good thing about it is you don't have to kill a living being.

Did you know red meat clogs your vains? Did you know that, since there is such a high demand on beef in North America, that rain forests in South America are getting destroyed so pastures can be made for cattle? Did you know that North America's addiction for meat is contributing to global warming?

Just thought I'd share some facts from my trusty book lol

Not trying to start an arguement, just saying stuff IMO.

ugh, that stuffs what the food eats. man was not made to exist on plants alone, and i'd be moving to a more civilized country where i can get a steak if that happened. As liberal as I am in some things, that attitude is one of the ones that scares me the most. you guys don't wanna eat meat, thats your call, but leave the rest of us to our steaks and chops. And the tofu stuff is a disgusting, blasphomous joke, its ok in benito broth, but the replacement stuff is garbage that I wouldn't feed an animal. And yes, I have spent time working with horses, as well as most other normal US domestic food animals including bison, beefalo, goats, sheep, hogs, poultry and osterich, and horses rank WAY down there for me.

Its disgusting in your oppinion

We are not in anyone else's society but our own. I have nothing against other societies who eat dogs and cats, that's their way of life and I'm not talking about them. I'm talking about us.

If I found out my next door neighbor was serving up a litter of puppies for an appetizer and thought nothing of it, I'd have the cops and the ASPCA at their door in ten seconds flat. The same applies for horses as far as I'm concerned. They're generally considered pets IN THIS COUNTRY.

BTW, horses - how they're used, how they're raised, their intelligence, their personalities, everything - they are incomparable to other farm animals, such as chickens and cows. It's like comparing apples to oranges. That's why most people keep them as pets over the other livestock animals.

At least horses can still be slaughtered to make glue

 

[jojo22]

[suepahfly]
