Animal Shelter to provide cat meat for the Homeless. People are hungry, and we have to many cats on the streets. Why not feed the stray animals to our hungry homeless people?
A few weeks ago the News & Record published an article about the mass murder of thousands upon thousands of itty bitty baby kittens. We mentioned it slightly here but didn't really jump into the subject.
Now I am a pet lover, and the thought of my little fluffy kitty getting harmed or, eaten? Is alarming to me. But, I must concede, what makes a cat or dog any less deserving of people plopping it in the deep-fryer then a chicken or a cow? If intellect is to win out, over soceities taboos, then doesn't it make sense that we should get over this silly personification of domesticated animals and eat them?
Is it not within the realm of mind that since we're throwing away and slaughtering thousands of cats, wouldn't that meat be better used down at the soup kitchen feeding hundreds of homeless and down-on-their-luck citizens looking for a warm meal?
I realize this is hard to swallow. I understand that this feels wrong at first, but is there honestly a good reason why we shouldn't, other then some un-written rule that makes us kinda sad if we consider cats can be eaten?
Are we not wasting more, and being less responisable by merely disposing of all the cat meat, rather then let it go to some greater cause?
This has me thinking about lunch.
Taste like chicken
If intellect wins out, we are all doomed.
Well, why not? Hungry old people are already eating cat food. And we're probably eating catmeat at oriental restaurants without knowing it. /s
Isn't that what they used to call "roof rabbit"?
Yes, this is completely and totally irresponisable!
Well, I _was_ going to grab some Chinese food today, but suddenly I feel like getting seafood instead. :)
No, thank you. We just found an adorable kitten that was living in our backyard last month. We believe his mother was abandoned by our neighbor who moved several years ago. We adopted him and lamented that we didn't get his brother too. His mother, when she figured out that we were kittennappers, moved along, taking junior to a safer spot. Then he began having seizures. The vet told us he will probably die soon. We don't know what is wrong with him, but besides the totally disgusting image of eating the little thing, the thought of what else any person would get along with him should render any such foolish scheme as this as unthinkable.
I'm sorry your kitten is sick and I hope the vet is mistaken and he recovers.
Thank you. This little guy has just captured our hearts. My husband has high blood pressure and has a hard time relaxing. I've never seen him laugh likes he does with Arancia. We rushed him to the hospital over the weekend and I take him to see his own doctor tomorrow. If there's anything we can do without mortgaging the house, we'd like to do what we can. He's a doll.
Kitten Chow Mein. Yummy with soy sauce and hot mustard.
In homage to an old Seinfeld episode...the homeless won't even eat "muffin stumps." What makes you think they'll eat cat? Unless the homeless shelter is in downtown Ho Chi Mihn City.
Why don't they feed the cat meat to homeless dogs?
Put the cat meat in a dumpster and the bum will dig it out gladly.
If intellect wins out, we are all doomed.
Soylent green, anyone?
Dogs have more meat....leave fluffy alone you monsters.
Or how about a few rats? Pidgeons? Good grief.
