What the fuck is this topic about now?!?!

STUFF A DOG WITH WEED (WHOLE LEAVES FROM THE FEMALE PLANT) AND GET HIIIIIIIGH

Pretty much I rationalize the meat I eat by what animals I could kill from a distance with a gun. Chickens? Yep. Cows? Maybe. Pigs? Occasionally. Dogs? Nope. Cats? Nope. Snakes? Yeah. Rabbit? Nope. Fish? Yeah. PEOPLE? Nope. See? It makes sense. My resolve to kill an animal is linked to how delicious I find it. I don't like dark meat, though, so I wouldn't want to eat dogs or rabbits or veal for that reason. I like really low fat content in my meat.

immediate edit: I think another big factor for the meats I am willing to eat is the noise an animal makes while dying. If cows made really sad whalesongs when they died I could never eat beef again.

solution: if this kinda thing bothers you, don't eat meat. that's what i did and it works for me.

This isn't really a solution, though. Ignoring the problem doesn't fix anything. There are still animals being tortured, whether you eat meat or not.

I bet all the vegans here are like "I FUCKIN TOLD YOU SO!"

i base this on the fact that this has never happened before ever guys! animals can get high but no people dont get animals high, eat them, and then get high, and i dont think it's ever happened.

Makes me wonder what this man is thinking:

I'm a heartless bastard I guess, but I honestly can't quite muster much sympathy for something I'm going to eat. I guess its terrible that people are torturing the animals but even if they killed them more humanely would that stop people from going "OH NO THEY KILLED A DOG".
I mean, for example, chickens. Do these animals get any real sort of life? We pretty much mass produce them to eat and keep them in a cage forever even if we kill them later. And then I'm sure the cavemen didn't all go hey we're hunting lets make sure the bison doesn't feel pain.

Meh.

You better watch yoself. PETA got guns.

Also, our state passed this stupid-ass law that requires transportation cages for chickens and other farm animals (who are going to the slaughterhouse most likely) must be a certain size. *sigh* my school district is laying off 20+ custodians and yet we're funding bullshit like this.

Also, my mom's Filipino. She's eaten monkey brain. They basically put the little shits in a guillotine-like thing, lop the top half of the scalp off, and eat it raw. That's why whenever she's cooking dinner I'm kinda afraid of what's really in the lumpia.

EDIT:
Brain, by the way, is gross, don't ever try it. It's WAY too squishy, and feels very wrong to eat. Tendon's terrible too, for obvious reasons. I think for a bet I ate the contents of a can of raw squid once, but I don't really remember because the memory's repressed now.

EDIT:
Also, BALUT.

Stick a straw in a half-developed egg and suck it all in.

I hate my race.

Half developed? You mean a fertilized egg? How can they tell?

It really isn't hard. You time the development of the egg (I think it's 20 days or so), or you could just sort of shake the thing to see how much of the bird is in there.

cuz when them chickens get up and start movin around, they start burnin the calories and get skinnier.  thats less spicy mcchicken sandwiches per bird.

I think the chicken I currently eat is fine, and the chickens after this law is implemented will taste no better. I haven't got sick or anything from chickens eating chickenshit, and if I did I'd probably sue the hell out of Vons for failing to cook them properly. There's a line between animal rights and pragmatism. I don't care if the chickens were shipped over from Africa, stripped down horizontally for as many as 3 months, then thrown out on deck so the sailors could splash icy saltwater on their wounds. They're chickens.

It's not as slippery as you might think; the money has to be reallocated from somewhere. Yeah, there are separate budgets, etc. but that doesn't change the fact that we waste a helluva lot of money on stupid shit and we kind of forget what really matters. The HVAC guys at the district have been basically cut down to 1 person. 1 person to change 50,000 belts. Now the custodian at the local middle school only has 30 minutes to clean the school kitchen -- they're supposed to take an hour and fifteen. No, chicken transport doesn't have a direct affect on my district's job decisions, but it's not negligible.
