# did you catch a pigeon?
(I helped save b3ta! Tom OBedlam I have control of a tank, Mon 7 Jul 2008, 22:54, archived)
# I didn't
but my fucking badass brother did!

He made his own catapult and has been trying to get one in the garden for a while and today he succeeded!

Trying roast pigeon for the first time tomorrow...it's kind of exciting.

SELF-SUFFICIENCY FTW.

Makes no sense to me.

# ^this totally
the majority of animals that are eaten are only alive to be eaten, if we didn't eat them they wouldn't ever live at all, at least they get to experience life for a while, thats better than nothing

# So long as it's a decent life.
If they're going to be crammed into a barn for their whole life barely able to stretch, I'm not sure if it is.

# i'd still argue its better than no life at all. but i agree the we ought to make them fairly comfortable
though on a student budget if the choice is between no meat and battery farmed sadly thats no choice at all.

# Yeah, that's understandable.
I can afford free range stuff now, so I get it. When I was a poor student, I didn't

# ^This.
I wouldn't eat anything from a battery farm purely because that life wouldn't have been worth it.
But then again, wouldn't that mean I'm guilty of making sure that suffering is for nothing?

# I'm not even going to argue.
Just, sorry for having been raised a certain way.

Edit: So much for it not being a big deal that I eat meat sometimes. At least this way it's been allowed to have a proper life and hasn't just been handed to us on a plate after a shit life in a barn.

# I am bit of tree hugger though and that's why my brother's been wanting to try catching something to eat for ages.
It's much more natural.

# sounds good
i find little as obnoxious as sanctimoniousness. especially vegetarians and non-smokers.


though i'm 5 weeks smoke free btw :)

# I fully support vegetarianism if that's what people choose.
My family used to be vegetarian until my mum started getting really anaemic and realised that having a little bit of meat would probably be healthy.

I think it's completely natural to eat meat and I probably always will, I'll just make sure it's free range & organic.

Well done with the cigs btw :)

# Yet when I catch and eat people I am persecuted.
Where is the consistancy there?
(Jeru War and Piss, Mon 7 Jul 2008, 23:10, archived)
# Were they free range people?
Most people are kept confined in inhuman office blocks and flats, barely seeing the light or being allowed to forage.
It's the taste and texture of their meat that truly suffers.

# The confined ones are used to make soylent green.

I'd still like someone to give me a reason why eating something is fine providing its not the same specie.

# My guess is we've evolved to have much more empathy for fellow humans than other animals.
And it's handy not to feel sorry for the thing you've just gutted and jointed.

# Yet people can kill other humans without empathy for reasons of nationality or race or ideaology fairly easily.

# i don't know that humans would taste that good though
surely we're programmed to think human flesh tastes nasty? plus we have far too much meat in our diet to taste good
