Define torture, because your idea of what we do to animals is no different to what animals do to each other.
Thank you CrossStitch. You are a rose amongst thorns here but precious all the same. I'm sure for as many negative or no support posts there are many who have signed the petition without leaving a comment and for that, I thank you
Where's your petition to stop unsafe working conditions for kids to make all the crappy Chinese products you buy cheaply year round?
I don't eat Lobster. I can't change everything but if I can try to make a difference to something then what's wrong with that?
I truely laughed out loud at the puppy with cheese and a side of kitty nuggets....but back to the op. Is it your intention to snuggle up to these dogs/cats and rub them for hours, then slice their throats? Sounds good to me cause I hear that animals with no stress and massaged muscles are more tender. Just to be clear..I do not eat dog and cat. Or at least i dont think i do. I can say as a mailman that i see some odd things. A BOSNIAN FAMILY ONCE WAS ROASTING A GREYHOUND ON A PIT FOR A FAMILY MEETING. While working on a vietnamese community I ate often with the people and whatever they served me....I never saw a stray animal for many many miles. What do you think they ate often? Torture(in your opinion) or not, it is meat and people need to eat. The animal will die. I do love animals and care compassionately for them. But they never take place over humans. Let them eat. And. What about castration of animals? Now thats torture imo. Taking a male into a chamber, tying them up. Then smashing two bricks together on the who hyahs....thats fricken insane, then just slicing ole righty and lefty off...dear lord. Thats torture. Then just let ole boy run out into the field to "rest" what the hell?
The U.S. Can't petition China to do anything until we're trillions of dollars out of debt from them. They can do whatever they want, you're imposing taking away their freedoms of an ancient festival simply because you don't like it. What would you say if China wanted to get rid of the Nathan's hot dog eating contest because they "Found it to be gross and inhumane"?
What if they are doing a ritual or something of religious symbolism? Who are we, as Americans, to take their religious rights away. America is for freedom of religion, yet, you want us to interfere with religious acts OUTSIDE our borders?
I believe that she actually wrote Xmas* but I'm sure she appreciates your valiant efforts to contribute to this thread in which you failed.
Flamers carry on flaming coz you will make no difference. Where as this thread raising awareness just might.
I never said you were from US. I'm stating that you want us to break our main reason for being a country in the first place.
Support. I was happy to overhear my kids talking about this at school. They were smart enough to realise the issue is about how the animal is treated. I was also happy that they respected that people of different cultures will eat (or avoid) different meat/foods. Ty op.
You're welcome mdjbags and it's good to know your kids are socially aware. It gives us all hope for the future
