They want an end to all domestic animals. You can eat twigs and grass IF no wild animal wants it.

I don’t agree with ending all killing of animals for food.
I enjoy a good steak, chicken and duck and a good pork roast.
However, I want decent conditions for animal husbandry for many reasons. Not the least is safe food handling so the meat we eat is safe. I buy meat whenever I can at Wholefoods or get Kosher meats who have higher standards for animal production and killing than the general meat companies.
Sure, the meat costs a little more, but it is safer and actually it tastes better cause all those antibiotics, etc aren’t in it.
I don’t want to be a vegan. But I want decent conditions for animals and safe food. If the general meat production companies can do that fine, if not, they should be exposed for bad and unsafe production.

I dont mind anybody that wants to be a vegan.
What does bother me is vegans who want to make everybody else become vegans thru force of law. ......

so they get rid of all the factory farms that are providing cheap poultry and eggs and meat for the poor in the cities of the third world.
Yes, compassion for the chicken and ignore the malnourished street kids.

I think every family should have to raise its own food...every mouthful of meat, vegetables, fruit and milk. It would be totally safe that way. It would also be the cure for obesity.
To: george76
1600 people think they can tell a global population to eat tofu?
I think I’d rather eat activists. They probably taste just like chicken.
To: Red Badger
i agree. I have a neighbor who is a vegan , her husband is not and on his birthday, she takes him out to dinner for a steak! ha.

Not a bad idea, if somewhat impractical..however, there is a new movement I read about in the WSj that says most every city has enough empty lots, and flat roof tops to raise vegetables to feed the whole city....Hmmm?
yeah, maybe the teenagers could do that instead of gang banging!

"

Yes, but their efforts usually turn toward partnerships with big agriculture corporates to make new, small farm/
ranch starts difficult or impractical.
From the article, "The new agreement between HSUS and United Egg Producers to seek federal legislation for housing standards for egg laying hens was also discussed at both conferences."
Monsanto was one of many agri-corporates behind the recent spate of "food safety" bills. We had to work hard to get an exemption for very small farmers from the bill that big business and government interests did pass in efforts to prevent new competition. ...pretty much like corporate-government actions in commissioners' meetings in various states against starts of small lumber mills and other small production operations.
I've seen the face of the so-called environmentalist. She's either related to Mr. Mogul or one of his former employees. And I'm really fed-up with politics.
It's time to continue starving the beast (tool of bipartisan big shots), and that's what's going to happen. The default process will be completed. There will be a repudiation. We will get new leadership in business, politics and academia. Globalism is going to die.

“Vegetarian” Ancient Indian word for ‘lousy hunter’. Plus they smell funny when they’re near you in the health nut store.

To: george76
Did you seee the Anthony Bourdain thread recently? I found Tony's opinion on vegetarians amusing:
"Vegetarians, and their Hezbollah-like splinter-faction, the vegans, are a persistent irritant to any chef worth a damn. To me, life without veal stock, pork fat, sausage, organ meat, demi-glace, or even stinky cheese is a life not worth living.
Vegetarians are the enemy of everything good and decent in the human spirit, an affront to all I stand for, the pure enjoyment of food. The body, these waterheads imagine, is a temple that should not be polluted by animal protein. It's healthier, they insist, though every vegetarian waiter I've worked with is brought down by any rumor of a cold.
Oh, I'll accomodate them, I'll rummage around for something to feed them, for a 'vegetarian plate', if called on to do so. Fourteen dollars for a few slices of grilled eggplant and zucchini suits my food cost fine."

I want decent conditions for animal husbandry You should be aware that the misnamed "Humane Society of the United States: HSUS" (an entity not to be confused with the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals: ASPCA), an the scam shop called "People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals: PeTA) are your enemies.
