There is so much money tied up in the meat industry, it's a force hard to do battle with.<BR/><BR/>And so many other issues, most of them coming back to economics (profit) (greed?) driven issues. <BR/><BR/>Another issue is the demand on food that overpopulation creates.<BR/><BR/>All too much for this little brain.The Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03884172849865230486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-1132179196567040662005-11-17T09:13:00.000+11:002005-11-17T09:13:00.000+11:00Jerry, I think it's right the first time because a...Jerry, I think it's right the first time because animals don't think so it's how we treat a non-thinking being.<BR/>Humans can think and can fight back if they're being hurt. That's one of the best things about New Orleans, the way humans refused to leave their animals to starve and drown.<BR/><BR/>Hey Muriels, we have the vegetarian sisterhood, can we ever be beaten now? I'm not sure but I think the soy grown there goes to food manufacturers as filler in all sorts of products. Remember McDonald's having to admit their chicken nuggets had a big percentage of soy.JahTehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02007730071564639411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-1132150673576821422005-11-17T01:17:00.000+11:002005-11-17T01:17:00.000+11:00I stopped eating meat at the age of 12 when I real...I stopped eating meat at the age of 12 when I realised the suffering animals endure at the hands of humans - I didn't want to contribute to it and in my own childish, small way thought I could make a difference. I'm still a vegetarian 25 years later and now I'm going to have to be certain of where my soy comes from as well!<BR/><BR/>KKelly & Sam Pilgrim-Byrnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09994151711253644372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-1132144699296108072005-11-16T23:38:00.000+11:002005-11-16T23:38:00.000+11:00First this: "Recognising animal rights really mean...First this: "Recognising animal rights really means accepting that we have a duty not to treat sentient non-humans as resources." And then this: "In light of what humans are currently doing to humans all over the world, should we really worry about animals?"<BR/><BR/>There's food for thought right there...<BR/><BR/>But then there's this beauty: "...how we treat animals flows on to how we treat each other."<BR/><BR/>Excuse me, but I would say it's the other way around i.e. how we treat humans flows on to how we treat animals. <BR/><BR/>Of course we could argue about this for a few hundred years whilst the planet goes down the gurgler...<BR/><BR/>Anyway, it was a very thought provoking post, JT.
