rehmwa 2 #58 June 19, 2009 Quote I spent 20 minutes trying to come up with a skydiving analogy to fit. I guess that's what happens when you haven't jumped in 5 years. But yours is perfect. As opposed to ignorant, dismissive, hateful or small-minded mockery - Original and funny mockery is always appreciated. At least there is a small chance then that the militant veg*n will unwittingly recognize another's perspective. yup - and also, the guiet and typical veg**ns get more entertainment ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

masterrig 1 #61 June 19, 2009 I originally posted this to maybe, bring a chuckle or two. While reading our 'weekly' newspaper, I found this article and found it interesting: THE DARK SIDE Two of the richest animal rights groups in the country have recently made the news; PETA killed 95% of the dogs and cats left in their care in 2008 (VA Department of AG), and the Humane society of the United States (HSUS) contributed less than four percent of their $91.5 million budget to hands-on dog and cat shelters in 2007 (Center for Consumer Freedom). Both stories were presented to expose the hypocrisy of animal rights groups whose commercial fund raising depicts and depends on the image of the compassionate caring of kittens and puppies. But anybody who has worked for local humane societies, horse refuges, dog pounds or veterinary clinics understands the reason PETA is in the "euthanasia" business in a big way... the country is overrun by unwanted dogs and cats and horses. It is no easier for the director of a local Humane Society in Montana (not affiliated with HSUS) to euthanize the majority of the pets she accumulates monthly, than it is for the local veterinarian to agree to euthanize (usually at no charge) a litter of kittens or an unwanted horse. Nor do I think the people working in the back of PETA are callous about it. Just like the abandoned horse issue, somebody has to take responsibility and do the right thing and it ain't always pretty. Much ado is made about spaying and neutering our pets, about breeding too many horses. The fact remains, despite all our editorials, city laws, clinics and education, PETA put down 21,339 dogs and cats in the last ten years. All of us veterinarians, livestock people, slaughter horse buyers, city dog catchers, rendering plant truck drivers, and PETA workers choose to bear the responsibility of this dark side of the cute and cuddly companion animal world. The HSUS has smartly chosen to avoid the dark side. We down here in the trenches could use their help to fund more shelters, horse refuges, dog pounds, and carcass disposal. We'll still do the dirty work but their contributions would be a Godsend. I can tell you personally, working on a kill floor, eradicating livestock for disease purposes, putting down abandoned horses, or helping euthanize hundreds of companion animals in the back room of a humane shelter takes a toll on a person. You who do it have my compassion, admiration and respect... you are on the front line of humanity.

Of course, the 'meat' producers are fighting it. Good grief! Here's the thing about that: Food animals are a business. Most of the "farmers" believe that it is all about the business. I don't see where taxing or regulating emissions is anything new? It's been proven that methane from agribusiness is a significant if not major contributor to global warming. I personally advocate that animals are animals are sentient beings. I advocate humane treatment and even reduction of consumption. If taxing methane output helps to reduce consumption, I'm all for it. It's not crazy at all to me. I still can appreciate a good joke.

billvon 3,120 #73 June 21, 2009 >Do you believe that you can prove something causes something or >contributes to something that hasn't been proven to exist? There's no doubt whatsoever that the climate is warming. Look at any of the dozens of data sets taken over the past 100 years. The argument usually devolves to "well, it's natural" or "it won't be that bad." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflybella 0 #74 June 21, 2009 QuoteDo you believe that you can prove something causes something or contributes to something that hasn't been proven to exist? The world's total meat supply has more than tripled in the last 50 years. From 70 million tons to 290 million tons. Livestock production now generates nearly a fifth of the world's greenhouse gases - more than transportation does. And transportation emissions are pretty highly regulated. Here is an interesting article that only touches on all the ways livestock production has evolved into an industry that is damaging our health and our environment. Reducing consumption and demand is the only way to reverse this trend. Producers aren't going to volunteer to cut production. And as we all know by the "I love meat" crowd, it isn't an easy sell to get people to give up a percentage of their consumption. So, making meat as expensive as it should be will go a long way.

masterrig 1 #75 June 21, 2009 What about all the other creatures we are trying to save that give-off the same type emissions? What about the masses of humanity who give-off similar emissions? We gonna tax them too? As long as there is a demand for beef, pork and milk, there will be cattle. How are the green folks going to get this point across to the folks in India who are very sensitive about their cattle? I think, some folks are drawing at straws and a bit knee-jerk.
