i really dont want to argue the whole peta thing, but cant it be age appropriate? seabeyond Nov 2013 #6

I'm coming from a different perspective regard "age-appropriate", I guess. Codeine Nov 2013 #16

my son did it at an older age. 7 or 8 and a couple times after, with his father. seabeyond Nov 2013 #21

THERE AREN'T TWO PICTURES. pnwmom Nov 2013 #105

she asked me to. i said ok. thank you. nt seabeyond Nov 2013 #110

It really does change the discussion. I'm sure I'm not the only one who missed that detail. nt Electric Monk Nov 2013 #111

I'm sure you're not either, Electric Monk, based on reading pnwmom Nov 2013 #112

i did say the adult being taller will see the first image and the little kid will see the second. seabeyond Nov 2013 #114

The problem is that some people misunderstood this to mean pnwmom Nov 2013 #115

ya. i really need that clarification. like i said, i was well familiar with the issue and focused seabeyond Nov 2013 #116

Good point. Especially with poultry. That's an important lesson to learn. nt Electric Monk Nov 2013 #14

Seriously. That family on the right is just asking for salmonella. Warren DeMontague Nov 2013 #26

PETA is as usual exploitative and in this case they are exploiting the 'second image for short kids' Bluenorthwest Nov 2013 #7

i didnt know that part. hm... thanks for the info. nt seabeyond Nov 2013 #9

Part of the power of such boards lies in the little known nature of the double image Bluenorthwest Nov 2013 #15

good point. i had never heard of it. nt seabeyond Nov 2013 #22

Exactly. It isn't just the gore. Their mockery of other causes is ridiculous and unnecessary. kcr Nov 2013 #13
