To me, its not the fact they are being killed, its how. My ancestors used to pray for the spirit of the animal because that animal was giving its life in order to sustain ours. it was a sign of respect for the animal, and never killed for the sake of killing. To do so was taboo. In recent years, what society has lost track of is that animals are our fellow beings, and are just as vital to the planet as we are, and should be respected. What those people on that video and the face transplant were doing, I doubt they even said thanks to the animal who had shared its fur to keep others warm or said thanks to the rabbit for helping advance surgical technology.

I'm inclined to agree with Violet, somewhat. People try to humour it and say 'it's just a rabbit' or whatever, but say that when you're having your throat slit for food. Personally I think nowadays people eat meat out of habit, not because they need to. They eat it because right now, people are more than happy to believe that being human makes us somehow superior, that we have 'souls' or some bullshit.
Humans are special, because we can make choices. We can shape the world how we like. Most animals are too dumb to make decisions, they simply run off instinct. However, that doesn't mean they don't feel pain. This is mainly just an expression of my own views, not specifically to the article.

Both actually. I couldn't watch much of the video. It sicked me out.

Hmmm....there was this one women how got attacked by a mountains lion recently, maybe a few months ago and she had reconstruction done to her face, though she still looks horrible =(...this would be good for her.
Transplants! - Metal Koola - 02-01-2006
You want to give her a rabbit face? That's just weird.
Transplants! - Old Dave - 02-02-2006
No, but the general idea would server her well.
sick man *twitches nose*

Hell, i feel guilty killing that three inch spider crawling just on the wall beside my bed...he can bite me and make me have a hella alergic reaction, I'll prolly go into spasms and end up in ICU, but at least that poor spider would be just straight chillin on the wall above my bed, all 8 legs intact...oh well.

Personally, I eat meat because it tastes DAMN good. That, and I don't think I could survive too well on a diet of straight greens, grains and non-meat protien.
That's what my opinions were about 2 years ago. It's a lot easier than you might think. I used to take the piss out of my brother, who was a vegetarian, I thought he'd revert to bacon sandwiches in a day. But a year later he was still perfectly healthy. All the stuff about 'needing meat' is bull. Like you said, people eat it because they're so used to it.

I <3 the occasional nice steak, with some steak sauce and some potato wedges, but not all the time. It gets boring...chicken, I hate bone chicken, mainly because it just reminds me too much that it was once a live being and its not too appetizing to see a vein pop out at you when you take a nice big chunk off the bone. >.< I tend to stick to my ramen noodles and nachos. Maybe an italian sub thrown in every once in a while for good measure. <3 salads...but I try and avoid meat when possible, but I <3 a cheeseburger every once in a while. Haven't tried tofu, although it does seem an interesting alternative...more humane too.
Transplants! - Super Buu - 02-02-2006
I don't think I've ever eaten tofu. I drink milk and have eggs, but mostly my meat substitution comes in the way of Quorn stuff and the like. A lot of it is actually nicer than the real thing, the rest of my family has started eating it as well as a kind of side-effect of me getting it all.
Nachos with jalapeno peppers and cheese = Win.
(*Wonders how this thread got so off-track...*)

There's this local speciality burger you can get. 8 pounds of meat after you cook it for like...40 bucks. If you eat it all in one sitting at the table, by yourself., you walk away with it for free.
I was thinking about finding a large, hungry homeless man and treating him to dinner with a fourty dollar burger. See if it could be done.
Homeless people have very small stomachs... when you don't eat a lot for a long time your stomach reduces in size, so your best chance is to find someone who just ate a ton the day before. Also - grapes expand your stomach from what I hear. So eat a bunch of grapes the day before and you might be good to go.

Have, as in eat. Sometimes I make little brown eggs though. Not many people buy them except this one Romanian guy on Ebay >_>
Transplants! - Violet - 02-02-2006
sigh...I wish i still worked at Taco Bell...i should go back to work there instead of this stupid jobs program shit.
