Reply #45: should have seen the post I had that got deleted by the mods !

[NIGHT TRIPPER]

That one took the joke a bit further and was actually believable.
The mods deleted it because it offended someone.

I understand that these types of killing farms exist.
It's really not funny but I thought I'd present it sarcasticly.

I have to ask, if we surround ourselves in blood on a daily basis, whether we kill or allow others to kill for us, should we be confused when bloody and awful tragedies strike close to us?
(anything from murder to mad cow disease)

As some might say, you get what you give.

Sounds whacky to superficial thinkers, and I can totally understand how some people can't draw parallels between what they "participate" in and what "happens" to them as individuals much less what happens to them as a group.

My take is that if we want a so called "modern" society, then we should damn well give up on the traditions of our "pre- modern" past.

Technology has long ago surpassed the need to take animals as a primary food source, and that "need" has now evolved into a "want"--our pleasure ("taste" at their expense).

If Americans care and respect all life (not just some animals like pets and not just American lives) then all Americans are more likely to experience respect and care in their lives.
Sounds insane doesn't it.

What's really insane is the fact that we humans horde dimembered body parts in most of our buildings. If you had X-ray vision you'd see the billions of parts scattered throughout all our cities. It's almost like science fiction.

Animals eat animals. It ensures the survival of the most physically fit of each species. If we want to emphasise our animal nature (that is our heritage) then we should do the same.
If we want to emphasise our higher nature as humans (that is our potential), then we need not behave as animals do, at least if we expect to experience a quality of existance higher than that of animals.
wow, crazy ideas---
us omnivores have a choice by nature--(usually)

But I don't doubt that we may eventually see arenas again with Gladiators for our pleasure. We may eventually have an abunance of killing farms for our pleasure (wait..we already do-- for the pleasure of taste), and that might easily go a step further into a type of "Soylent Green" scenario when the population expodes and the facist supremests are allowed to decide which humans deserve a place on the planet and which ones deserve to be dinner for us or fodder for our livestock (why bury perfectly good meat?)
Mad Cow is a result of Nature's re-coil-
Nature is a powerfully intelligent force.

What's the difference between eating a dog or a cow?
What's the difference between eating a cow or a human?

Do we or do we not walk a fine line?
