Bethany, go home.
Pull down the shades down, sip Chamomile tea, and read poetry.

* Don't worry, it's "Certified Humane".
But- sanitized capsule summary, please? All I can discern, right or wrong, is that someone found the remains of a housecat in some sort of processed foodstuff, and saved it.
Not sure how the lottery figures in though...
"A woman who found the body of a young kitten inside a sausage she was eating made a small shrine for it in her home and neighbours later came to worship it - after which some won money on the lottery."
@4: There's nothing particularly bad about that video. Two things shocked me a bit: how fast the blood drained from the animal and how big its stomachs were. But it died quickly and cleanly, scared only for a few seconds before the bolt and the knife ended it.
I believe anyone who eats beef should watch footage of that nature, to understand that when they consume flesh, it was once a living being. Carnivory is taken too lightly in our society.
And honestly, if this is the sort of thing you shit yourself over, I'd hate for you to see how animals kill each other in the wild. Do you think being chased down for days, hamstrung, and eaten by a pack of wolves is any less terrifying for a bison? Personally, I'd take the bolt gun.
@ 4, if I found video footage of a wolfpack attacking a cow, and posted it here, would you watch that?
Unless you grow or dive your own food, you don't really have a place to talk. All the nitrogen from fertilizers used to grow the soybeans in your veggieburger spills out into the ocean.
Can you live without killing? I'm including ALL forms of life here when I ask that.
The question that you never answer is why that is wrong. You use loaded language but never demonstrate why you think it's fair.
What makes an animal less worthy of death and consumption than a plant?
Are you willing to actually prove that you're a thoughtful person? Can you elevate things for just a minute and do that?
I'll answer your question further if you post a video of you punching a dog to death to show it's an honest moral question you're facing that you can't tell the difference between that and stepping on grass.
You spend a lot of time here. To what purpose? I think you would like it if we were all vegan. Do you believe your posts are accomplishing anything toward that end? If converting people to veganism isn't your goal, then why do you do it?
Sorry kid, you can't change shit. You can't change the global patterns of consumption that doom us. You can't even change local patterns of consumption. All you can do is change yourself. Which starts with thinking about how and where you get your food, and how to move that closer to where you live. Which is better for all the animals on this planet, human or otherwise.
Either you're like 16, and just getting that first rush that comes from feeling superior to people and telling them what to do- in which case, go back to the lunchroom young lady and let the grownups have their conversation. Or you're a True Believer who in five years will be knocking on my door, inviting me to attend your "awesome" Mars Hill Easter Service.
So you use objects that contain animal products (computer, clothing, building materials, everything) and then tell others that they should not eat animals?
Good to see you are so committed to your veganism that the extent of it is telling people what to do to feel superior, but not actually refraining from using animal products in your life. Animal's lives are worth avoiding meat, but not worth goofing off on the internet I guess.
You are not a vegan (no one really is), you are just a sanctimonious asshole who gets off on feeling superior to everyone else for arbitrary reasons. Either that or you are about 14, which is what your "voice" sounds like in your writing here. Hyperbolic and extremely hypocritical.
I don't care what others eat. If it makes you feel better about yourself to be a vegan, more power to you. That you feel the need to proselytize like a Westboro Baptist and push your beliefs onto everyone else is what puts people off.
