Re: Veal
I'm vaguley healthy and sensitive, eat only free range eggs (so much tastier, if you look at both kinds at he same time you'll never go back) and I eat the heck out of veal when i go out.
I figure that ever since I've turned to poker for a living, I'm just turning myself into the human eqivalent of veal for whatever alien or beast is lucky enough to get to chew on me. Fair is fair. Another cruel food that must be tasted is fois gras, fatty goose liver. Geese are force-fed via a 16-inch metal tube, which is shoved down their throats and attached to a pressurized pump. The liver increases in size about 6-10 times compared to the normal size for a bird. The abdomen expands so much that even moving becomes painful for Gary the goose. Mmmm...tastes so much better than it sounds.

Considering what we humans do to each other, I think that the energy and attention devoted to the inhumane treatmetn of baby cows is pretty much wasted. Lets prioritize here. [/ QUOTE ] You completely missed my point and provided a piss poor argument. We are spending much more energy creating veal. We are going out of our way to torture these animals and paying much more to eat their meat. It takes much less energy to avoid eating veal.

Re: Veal
Has anyone seen this pamphlet? It is really sick. They give it to little kids and it has all this crap about how their parents are murderers and want to steal their pets and that they should hide their pets and kill their parents or some crap. PETA is so fucked up.
As to the original point, I eat animals, but I really think that they are crossing the line with the treatment of these creatures. Animals do have feelings, do feel pain, and this is just a really trashy way to treat them. I ate veal once (unknowingly) but will never eat it again. I also really jsut don't like meat at all tho.

[/ QUOTE ] Yes, and let's ignore rape and theft until murder is abolished. This is a common argument but it does not really work. Violence to animals is not totally separate from other forms of violence. It is not about distinguishing animals from humans; it is about distancing actions from their consequences. Once you say "I know this cow suffered, but whatever, it's on my plate now" it is that much easier to say "I know the sweatshop kids that made my shirt are suffering, but whatever, it's on my back now." Once you no longer have to look someone in the eye to kill them, it's that much easier to just say "f[/i]uck it, let's just carpet-bomb the bastards." Disassociation from consequences.
