Why do you eat meat?

The Main Question Is:

Why Is My Dinner On Those Chickens' Bones?

You mean waterboarding cows to death and then eating their tasty bodies is wrong? Woops. My bad. Mmmm, steak.

 

[Mr. Richards]

meat is great. I eat it for health reasons, enjoyment, and variety. Eating animal protein, unless you have a medical condition, is the best way to keep your diet balanced. I do think however, that ethical treatment of food animals is something that bears addressing. Just because I'm going to eat it, doesn't mean it deserves to be treated cruelly.

Precisely. I accept that we are high on the food chain (and oh my god do I love a rare tenderloin); but as a civilised society that is capable of the technology and luxuries we are afforded, we have the ability and obligation to ensure farm animals are treated in a humane manner at all times, including the manner in which they are slaughtered.

the poor guy that started this thread......I imagine he wanted a debate on the sinfulness of consuming our fured and feathered brethern.......instead he gets a discussion of which animal is more fun to kill.........and our favourite ways to devour flesh.

I love it!

PETA People Eating Tasty Animals

In northern B.C. there is a bird we called a Fool Hen.(also called the Spruce Grouse) I guess they were some kind of Grouse. People used to say that if there were 8 of these birds in a tree you could shoot seven of them before the last one would fly away. They were never quite that dumb for me but I have often shot two or three before the rest flew off. The trick was getting close enough to get head shots. Even a 22 long rifle through the body wrecked a lot of meat.

Ever hunt with a car? Ruffled grouse don't fly until it's time to die. Usually, it's headfirst into the bumper - and the breast is about the only good meat on 'em.
