KFC Commercials.

You knew this would happen.

Nothing could be bloodier than KFC's buckets of fried-chicken corpses. Each one contains the pain and suffering of innocent, gentle birds who were made to grow so quickly that the legs of many of them collapsed under their own weight and many of whom were killed by being drowned in scalding-hot water.

Eating other animals has always been done, and not doing it would be going against nature. Plus it's yummy.

Defending a cruel industry of suffering. Really lateralus, evolve.

Tigers are cruel when they kill their prey. So are wolves. Don't forget we're meat eating animals. It's a completely natural thing. I refuse to believe that nature is at all evil in any way.

Dude...tigers, wolves..sharks.. they dont torture their prey. Factory farmed animals are subjected to horror from birth to death. That's not nature's way. The meat industry creates more pollution by far than any other industry. NOT natural.
Besides, we evolved teeth to eat meat before their were alternatives. Soy products can be substituted for any meat product and it's just as good. These animals have the cognitive ability of small children. They like classical music. They can do math. Most importantly, they can suffer just as well as any of us.

I don't condone torturing animals. I don't condone marijuana being illegal either. If there's nothing I can do about it I don't see the point in stressing about it.

And there's no rushing evolution. We might come up with new technological innovations, but that is a completely different subject. Like Carlin says, we're barely out of the jungle.

And reply to Other Psychotropics.

I suppose that's true. I have no ethical qualms with eating meat. But I think I do have ethical qualms with supporting the corporate run meat farms that inject everything with hormones, and literally stack animals on top of each other in the pursuit of profit.

[lateralus]

Yeah. Got me thinkin' now.

In fact though, you do condone. If you didn't condone it, you could just stop supporting it. What's the fastest way to stop supporting the current running of the meat industry? It wouldn't eliminate the industry all at once. But if more people made that choice, there'd be a change.
Just like how when there's enough responsible drug users out there, we might be able to change that too.


-edit- sorry about this, the first post was meant to be like, two posts back. The conversation was just developing faster than I anticipated... Didn't want it to seem like I was ranting on the subject...

Yes, I'm in love with the fact animals are cruelly abused day in and day out. I can't get enough of it.
