Jeremy > It would be a sight. But I’d already corrected that line!

“Just that banning ’sports’ which act out what actually happens in nature or in food production anyway is daft.”

Get Sir Dave to narrate at the local slaughterhouse rather.

“No – I’m no advocating cruelty to animals. Just that banning ’sports’ which act out what actually happens in nature anyway is daft.”

Animals shove swords into bulls while fellow animals cheer them on inside a stadium?

I am going to email David Attenborough; he’d love to narrate that.

Fair is fair, not so? Enter: animalliberationfront.com…

Jacques > I would never say that. I even let my kids go free range in the back garden from time to time.

Stan > I have no problem with whaling – I don’t want them to go after endangered species and I want it to be managed, but otherwise, I see no issue. Certainly no logical reason to ban it.

TheNacK > I think it is. Well spotted. Nice.

Jeremy > The problem with sticking fireworks up the bum of homeless dogs is that the strontium and sulphur makes them taste funny on the braai.
No – I’m no advocating cruelty to animals. Just that banning ‘sports’ which act out what actually happens in nature or in food production anyway is daft.

Jacki > I agree in part. But I would challenge Greenpeace to nominate an oil company that IS acting in a repsonsible manner. If they can’t do that, then they shouldn’t be using the products they produce.

you are completely right.

that doesn’t mean that big business, or small business, or anybody, should not be held accountable for reckless practices. even if we use their products/services.

if that ‘i use your product so i have no right to be critical’ excuse was valid, nothing would ever change. i think it is a case of ‘i use your product, and that does give me the right to expect you to act in a responsible manner’.

it is ‘write everything in quotation marks’ day today. did you know?

Having said all that, I killed a dove the other day. It was injured so I had the advantage. I picked it up and threw it against the wall. Was really funny. .-= Jeremy´s last blog ..Apple of my eye =-.

To argue that, “unless you’re a total and absolute vegan”, is fair, but also convenient because it removes self responsibility and encourages apathy. “Ah well, I eat meat and wear leather, so I might as well torture and kill this homeless dog that I found roaming on my lawn. It will be hilarious shoving fireworks up its arse!”

There is nothing wrong with striving to achieve something.

It doesn’t have to be one-or-the-other That is just silly purism.

For the bull the result is always the same.
Are you ok with whaling?

Next you’ll be telling us how the free-range/organic farming hysteria actually results in their being less food available overall, and mostly how it just lets rich people, who already have food, buy food with conscience-assuaging labels.
