Jump To Comment: 4 3 2 1Factory farming is cruel abhorrent and unnecessary, produces poor quality foods containing harmful residues and aids in the spread of disease. its all about big profits and the disenfranchising of small farmers who tend to produce better food locally and give a reasonable quality of life to their stock.
Whats wrong with having compassion for all living creatures?. In my opinion this ability to empathise with the suffering of others (animals included) is the only thing that makes us in any way different from the majority of other wild animals. Seems a shame to have this one special quality and then to piss it away for a big mac and some chicken mcnuggets as you suggest ron. Says a lot about you as a person.
Those of you with a little more compassion than ron should visit http://www.ciwf.ie/
Cooking does kill the flu - samonella is cause by poor cooking also.
But you don't have to take my word for it - look it up on google.
Humans have hunted and killed animals for food for hundreds of thousands of years and we have farmed animals for tens of thousands of years.
PETA are a bunch of deranged lunatics - they hate human beings - firstly they hate themselves by becoming vegetarians and denying themselves the exquisite pleasure of eating meat almost like an agency monastic sect who denied themselves the physical pleasures because they saw blood as corruption. Then they want to enforce their own hatred of human beings upon the rest of the world. What the hell exactly is wrong with farming animals, eating them, wearing their fur, hunting, vivisection or religious sacrifice? We are not harming human beings, our species, but living life at one with nature - we build cities, factories, farms, conquer the oceans and outer space because as a species that is what we do - we follow our instincts and we eat meat too.
Non human animals are sentient but a monkey for instance looking at himself in a mirror just sees another monkey - he doesn't recognise himself - non-human animals are not capable of human love or emotions nor do they have human personalities nor can they formulate philsophy or politics or civilisations these people are giving human charachteristics to animals which they just don't have.
Now simians such as gorillas and chimps are closest to humans but that should not stop Africans from hunting and eating them or scientists for experimenting on them in order to discover ways of threating human disases due the similarity in their physiology to humans.
But I also find it truly bizarre that a human embryo, consisting of a clutch of cells stored in liquid nitrogen, arouses more emotion than the fate of an ape in a laboratory.
cooking does not kill the virus. some of those who have died did so from eating infected cooked fowl. you can get samonella from a cooked chicken.
i 'm not defending cuddly chickens here, i must confess to being a carnivore. just intent on preserving public health.
Aren't PETA being a little disingenuous here. After all cooking removes the danger of the virus, therefore they are being dishonest by claiming that eating poultry will give you bird flu.
It would give the organisation more credibility if they didnt bullshit the public.
