This is a question Hypocrisy

Overheard the other day: "I've told you before - stop swearing in front of the kids, for fuck's sake." Your tales of double standards please.

Sort of hypocrisy
There's been quite a bit of posting about vegetarians. I once knew someone at university who was a vegetarian who ate fish.

This annoyed me somewhat, as I thought it hypocritical to avoid eating the 'cute' animals only. But I have to admit, I was impressed by his reasoning. When I asked him, he said something like this;

"I know, but if something has to die before I eat it then I shouldn't eat any animal I wouldn't be willing to kill myself. I don't think I could bring myself to kill a cow or a bird, so I shouldn't eat beef or chicken. But I do think I could kill a fish, so I've got no problem eating them."

I do eat meat. I'm not entirely sure I could kill a sheep though.

I killed a sheep once
It was pretty gross, we'd not been allowed to eat for 24 hours before and they asked for a volunteer to wield the knife, and I agreed. I was curious to see what it was like. At that point, it didn't feel like an animal, more like the mutton stew cooked in an old paint pot that it became.

What if...
you killed the accidentally killed a sheep?

An interesting conversation I had with a veggie friend of mine about road kill

The word is 'pescetarian'
As in "and I would have got away with it if it wasn't for you pesky cunts"
