The Chicken Killers!!!

yikes..that's a really good point sawleaf! For a moment i just had to stop and consider that one.
Then i remembered that 70% of crops grown are for the animals used in the meat industry...therefore, by switching to vegetarianism you're saving twice as many animals! :eek:

lol...good post, sawleaf lol, but it only reinforces my point that selective information can be used for and against any arguement.

It's all about moderation, isn't it?
If you cut down a tree to make a house, you should plant seedling to replace it.
Isn't that what the cycle of life is about?

Ah true! :) But you can't say you are not contributing to animals deaths unless you are growing grain and vegetables in your own backyard. How much leather goods do wear? I know vegetarians who wear leather and then bitch at me for eating meat. I have nothing against being a vegetarian, but I am sick of them trying to change my ways and give me a guilt trip.

Yeah, you are right there! It is all about moderation. Maybe we are consuming more damn meat than we really need? Yeah I'll buy that. :)

Yeah I do see your point there, I work in furniture and have meet a few vegitarians that thought that leather came of a roll.

I think there are two type's of veggie's there are the one's that do it for a trend (like the one's you were talking about willing to put they're belief's to one side for a trendy leather suite.) And the one's that know they're stuff and stick by it.

As far as I have seen there's not that many veggie's that force there way's on other people (some of us just speak our mind a litle louder than others that all.)

Fair comment, Aspinthion :)

I, for one, have learnt alot through this debate - whether it'll change my diet, remains to be seen (not for now, if I'm honest :) ).
I agree about the 'trendy veggies'...how many times have I heard:
"I'm a vegetarian, but I eat fish and chicken"

lol
My sister used that one on me once, then I described how a fish must feel when it has a piece of barbed metal jammed into the roof of it's mouth, then is dragged through the water by it's palette...:eek:
Or, how thousands of fish are dragged up by nets and left to drown on the deck of a boat - where's the humanity in that!

thnx u make me feel speshellll :D :) :o :o

I dunno about fish feeling pain to be honest with you.

I remember back in the day when I used to fish I caught one in the eye and when I landed it all it did was turn round and eat it's own eye. :eek:

Even though if I'm gonna do somthing I'll go all the way so no fish for me lol. :D
