Guest guest Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 I found this on a strange vegan blog and it reminded me of the dumpstered meat thread. It's interesting to see how the non-vegans respond. To us it's just as absurd to eat any animal... http://ow.ly/15GkVA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 You know, this WAS very interesting. I've had this discussion with my omni husband (and a moe kid-appropriate version with my oldest child) on many occasions. If you want to eat meat, why NOT your pets after they die? The types of 'dietary' meat any society deems acceptable is just a matter of cultural norms. Funny, no one else is as interested in this discussion as I am. Except, of course, the Gloomy Vegan, apparently! j. p.s. I think it must've been Ted Nugent in cognito leaving the reply about skinning his pet snakes for belt material. (!) I have a lot more respect for someone who's willing to do that kind of 'dirty work' themselves, rather than buying the neatly sanitized packages of meat that the grocery store. Sorry, this reminds me of something else. One of my dear (elderly) neighbors was recently widowed. I've been taking her food on occasion and discovered quite by accident that she's a vegetarian. She's Austrian/Danish, but was raised in Stuttgart, Germany. She decided to become a vegetarian as a small child because she couldn't stand the sight of the dead, skinned animals hanging upside down in all the butcher shops. This got me to thinking about what our rate of 'vegetarianism' would be if we had this sort of food display. Guess I'm in a philosophical mood today. j. ________________________________ food4u1575 <dana.sommers Sunday, June 28, 2009 9:43:23 AM Eat Your Dead Pets I found this on a strange vegan blog and it reminded me of the dumpstered meat thread.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 You should see the number of animals hanging upside down in Chinatown windows. There are ducks, rabbits, chickens... you name it. There is even one place that has 4 or 5 huge fish tanks packed with live fish, frogs, etc. These poor things can't even move they're so jammed into the tanks. I called the Humane Society before but they said they can't do anything because they're not pets, they're food animals. It's sick. I want to break them all out. , jenni claire garverick <jennigarverick wrote: > > You know, this WAS very interesting.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 In australia there is a show on at the moment called master chef. They did a few episodes in hong kong and the food markets were very upsetting with live fish etc and dead animals hanging from the roof. I considered making a complaint about it bering on tv, especially with the lady trying to kill a live fish. But then i thought hang on, its a positive thing that its on tv. Its showing people a bit of reality about meat instead of seeing it just as a steak in plastic wrap. Anyway i think if this was how food was displayed here than people would be more uncomfortable. Slaughter houses should have glass walls and it should be mandatory for meat eaters to visit them. Anyway interesting idea about eating the dead pets. Again i see nothing ethically wrong with it, but i couldn't do it. It is a good way to express reasons for veganism though. People possible can not relate to the love of a cow but can relate to dogs or cats.
