Definitely a slap in the face for me... an animal lover who once was a vegetarian but started eating meat again mostly out of laziness! (I was living with my a meat-eating family and cooking for myself just got too hard. But that really is no excuse. Especially since I moved out of home four years ago!)<BR/><BR/>You've certainly got me thinking...<BR/><BR/>xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12231828.post-90527558594974302372007-07-31T17:49:00.000+10:002007-07-31T17:49:00.000+10:00deb - I didn't know that!Mr Flash - I don't know h...deb - I didn't know that!<BR/><BR/>Mr Flash - I don't know how they can claim that as news, seriously! A 'researcher'?! Still, I guess it's fair enough - I guess it's an extension of not being any kind of intimate with an omnivore in case the dead animal in their mouth gets into you. But I am also aware that vegans can be quite a passionate folk, so it doesn't surprise me... in terms of the broader question, I think it's up to each person to define their own boundaries. For example, living things are killed in the production of most foods; and computers and cars contains parts derived from animal sources - even walking around can kill living things!Ennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15613379734506337694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12231828.post-35280708793120212912007-07-31T15:48:00.000+10:002007-07-31T15:48:00.000+10:00Enny, I was wondering if you had any opinion on th...Enny, I was wondering if you had any opinion on the New Zealand vegans who are <A HREF="http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2007/07/31/1185647871417.html" REL="nofollow">refusing to sleep with non-vegans</A> on the grounds that they are "literally made up from the bodies of others who have died for their sustenance".<BR/><BR/>I guess the broader question is, "How far should vegans go for their beliefs?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12231828.post-26507279409293409592007-07-31T09:16:00.000+10:002007-07-31T09:16:00.000+10:00oohh that is a good point... did you know you can ...oohh that is a good point... did you know you can adopt chickens from the RSPCA?

She's like that about a lot of different stuff though, so I shouldn't have been suprised - but still! Such rudeness!<BR/><BR/>deb - thanks miss! I think it has prompted the latter reaction - sometimes it's interesting to see what type of post produces the most white space ;o) I have a friend who considers herself mostly vegetarian (she eats fish and sausage!) and I wonder what she thinks about cheese etc? Like I had no idea about the rennett etc, so do ALL vegetarians avoid cheese? And that's so terrible about the way they consider the animals...<BR/><BR/>Also - should let you know - I think I'm off the eggs... I have another fact to add. When eggs are hatched the males are also discarded in the cheapest manner - so even the eggs of your home hens are the result of an industry based on cruelty.Ennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15613379734506337694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12231828.post-32919858223556200272007-07-30T12:57:00.000+10:002007-07-30T12:57:00.000+10:00**applauds**Enny, I've heard you say sometimes tha...**applauds**<BR/><BR/>Enny, I've heard you say sometimes that you get flustered when you have do defend your beliefs (like me) but you have done an excellent job of getting your point across if you ask me! I hope your post inspires others to turn veg*n or at the very least, to wake up to themselves and think long and hard at just WHERE their food comes from and just what they are supporting every time they have a steak or some bacon.<BR/><BR/>I can't stand people who claim to be vegetarian and then eat fish. Wtf?! thats not being a vegetarian, thats just being a fussy carnivore! And I REALLY cant stand the sheer ignorance of people who think this kind of injustice towards poor helpless animals is okay because "it tastes so good". I've said it many a time... People are stupid. How we have managed to dominate the earth I have no idea... but clearly our technology has progressed a hundred times faster than any of out ethics have.<BR/><BR/>People who do choose to continue to eat meat- please to high heaven DO NOT WASTE IT. If an animal had to suffer and die just so you could have a hamburger, than please please please don't waste that meat, dont let the animals death be in vain. <BR/><BR/>I will never forget some one telling me that thier family raised cattle, but to them, they consider the animals as "just a comodity. The animals feelings dont matter, they arent people."<BR/><BR/>The sad part is, so many people will disregard this post, and write it off as hippy propaganda. <BR/><BR/>Out of sight, out of mind and nothing will really change...Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13577793961247561618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12231828.post-36546746915719607802007-07-29T14:59:00.000+10:002007-07-29T14:59:00.000+10:00It was utterly unfair of her to make fun of you.
