why do you say that? because i eat meat? i presume that you are alluding to my attitude toward animal suffering, and the simultaneous fact that i eat meat, otherwise you are using an incorrect term.

i love animals and i feel sorry for them because their lives are so hard. i have never posted a conflicting sentiment. it is sad that the mother baboon was killed, and i did not mention that. i only focused on the tiny life of the helpless baby baboon. actually i have little idea of what you mean by your comment so i will leave it to you to clarify your statement.

maybe you are calling me a hypocrite because i care so much for animals, and yet i like the taste of meat, and i feel i need it to live healthily. the way i see it is that i am 1 person of many millions of people who consume meat, and i f i chose not to eat meat with the hope that less animals will be killed, i would not be effective in doing so.

the meat is already dead in the butchers display case, and me refusing to buy it will not bring it back to life. i eat about 2 kilograms of meat per week at most, and if the global (or even only national) demand for meat was reduced by the reduction of my consumption quantity, i do not think that any less livestock would be killed. the resolution of the accuracy of the livestock industry's notion of "demand" is not that fine as to be able to factor in my personal consumption, and so whether i eat it or not will have no effect on how many are killed.

anyway, i will repeat that i do not know what you mean, so tell me.


what do you mean by "pretty tame"? i was appalled by it. do you need to see blood spraying all over the place to feel anything? i do not need to see what happens after they go through "the door" in order to to feel awful about it. i am not a sensationalist who needs to see them actually being slaughtered in order to know how dismal their existences are. i know that beyond "the door", their lives are over, and that is sad.

you have bounced over onto the wrong set of rails. i never indicated that i feel sorry for livestock farmers. you are imagining things that i never said or thought. i am at a loss to understand why you are deriding me for your perceived idea that i feel sorry for farmers.

i love animals, and if very few people ate meat, and if my desire for meat required an extra animal to be killed, then i would not eat meat.

i know you care for animals too, and it is silly that you see me as some sort of advocate for livestock farmers.

Autistics that have their parents pay for their college education, (and than some)

^why would that make you unhappy?

Because I'm not fond of easy riders.

Because I'm not fond of easy riders.

What if they have a scholarship? But their parents pay for housing/food...

People are being so angry everywhere (here and elsewhere) and as usual, I am forced to be some kind of emotional buffer simply because of how invisible my emotions are. Even worse, people are being angry while I am still practically mourning a loss and it does not do anything to reassure me of the possibly existent good intentions behind extremism on any side of any issue (even whether to use a red or blue shirt or whether to cut off emotional ties to machines or leave them as they are). The pressure from all sides explains why I chose the goal of the S.E.D.V.A. I will not be controlled by my environment, surroundings, or even the universe. I will be the one controlling all of that.

Based on correction of directive

Sorry. I wasn't trying to be angry...moreso, inquisitive.

Not you, but unless you visit the other forums, you are probably safe from most of the angry people.
