Everyone! I am so excited!

That's an indepth view into how it all works, and also true.

I think people, naturally have an emotional response to this type of stuff.

The thing to keep in mind is that you can't act on your emotions, you have to take a step back and look at things.

Nature is horrific as well - who can watch a Zebra be caught and drug under by an aligator without wincing? Who's heard a rabbit squeal when a coyote catches him? That shit is TERRIBLE, but it's nature and it's life.

On the other hand there are the horrors of our world outside of this. 15 millions children starving, factories overseas choc'd full of de'facto slave like labor all to make our clothes, TV's, etc.

I think the most ... heart rendering thing I ever saw along those lines was when a pride of lions brought down a very young elephant. It took them something like 4 hours to eventually kill it, all these lions piled on top of this poor thing, just biting any part they could reach, some of them starting to eat it while it was still struggling to get up. I couldn't understand why the film makers couldn't just shoot the poor fucking thing. It's sad and terrible, to humans but let's face it,Stalin was completely accurate when he said, "A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic."

remember sta**ish? she used to go on long, insulting tirades, then end it with "I have to go save a dolphin now. i can't be bothered with YOU!"

we know how that one ended.

we'll see. I predicted it all last week.

Here, let me invoke starfish: sealion sealion sealion!

ARE YOU INSANE???

 

[InquisitivePsyche]

agreed.
starting a thread entitled "EVERYONE!" and then insulting "EVERYONE!" who doesn't agree with protesting seems like a huge cry for more negative attention. i don't get it.

maybe its the "don't hate me, i'm a really good person" thing.

You're over thinking it. I was just really excited because I had just found out I was going to go... that's why I did that.

you realize how many unhatched eggs went into that beautiful expensive grad cake? Damn poor chickens... you should be ashamed of yourself.

Cage free eggs. I actually asked them (ever since my parents started buying those). They told me I could bring them before they start if I wanted which I am going to do, actually. It isn't a HUGE cake, btw. So it really won't be that difficult to do. thanks.

P.S. Unhatched? Ok - that's a bit too far. They are COMPLETELY unfertilized.. no living thing whatsoever.. and I am happy because then there would be a huge over population of chickens running around and you can imagine what will result from that... oh and I am pro choice.

I try to have compassion for all living things. Foie Gras isn't something I eat personally, but here's my problem - people telling other people what to do with their time and money. Wouldn't your time be better spent volunteering at a soup kitchen or maybe in the parks department cleaning up our cities parks? Or what about meals on wheels? You can deliver meals to the elderly that can't leave their houses instead of telling others what to do. Seriously - is Foie Gras even that popular?

Have you ever been to a chicken farm? Even a 'cage free' chicken farm?
