ok, when it come to animal rights, i am for it, and some may see me as hypocritical when i say i eat meat., but the suffering of animals is wrong. and to waste a life of any kind, is even more disgusting.
i am someone who has grown up in a home where no life or body is gone to waste, or somehow go unrespected.
brian has written about the whales being slaughtered, and how fishermen have allowed fish to stay on land and die and throw the dead fish back, only to weed out prawns.
why am i commenting on this? i appreciate seeing that someone who is a vegetarian sees past the 'exteremist animal rights' and sees the waste of not only an animal's life, but even he, as a vegetarian, can see that these animals couldve been for use for humans. im proud that he sees this, and how in the long run it has hurt humans, and a waste of an animal life can be a waste of a human life. its unnessesary.
i believe in solving a problem, and identifying things makes one more step to a better world, if stopped or at least minimized. im proud of brian for doing this, and not just sitting back and watching it happen. at least he brings a good point across. anyone agree? disagree?

I also eat meat, and it's healthy to eat meat.
But I strongly dissapprove of being cruel to animals. When you kill the animals for food you don't have to torture them. And I also hate things like sport fishing. If you want to catch fish you better eat them.
And I think killing intelligent animals like whales is a crime.

This is unlikely to make me very popular but I don't think that we as humans are as cruel to animals as we should be. As a child I remember having my photograph taken with a monkey at the seaside. I was later told that the monkey had probably had all of it's teeth snapped off with a pair of pliers. But does anyone ever think what might have happened if the monkey's owner hadn't taken that precaution? The little bastard would have had it's jaws around my throat before you could say "inhumane".
And before you start bleating on about the poor fishes in the sea, have you ever considered that the actions of these fishermen might act as a deterent to sharks who would otherwise eat millions of swimmers each year?
And don't get me started on those fucking pandas.
fatty.

Actually, five people per year are killed by sharks.
Fifty are killed by vending machines.
And I'm not kidding!

well fatty, that does bring up a point though,
i also would not hold back on defending myself against an animal, just as it would defend against me if it could or should. it would be common sense, and a part of life.
there is a population control factor, with the 'poor fishes in the sea' but those fish that were left to die couldve feed some families, be it other animals or people, is the point i was getting across. i still think no life should be wasted. people should really think of long term- reasoning. but i know that is somehow 'impossible' due to laziness.
if you were being funny, then...sorry if i missed the joke. im not some psychotic or extereme 'animal rights activist' but i treat any creature as they would want to be treated, or at least tactfully deserve.

I'm not allowed to think about where my food comes from... my mum is afraid that I'll stop eating if I do...
And I wanna give Bri a hug for this!
(Well actually I'd give him a hug anyways :P)

fatty,
Clearly, you are an idiot and a buffoon. Or else youre doing a great job of simply winding people up. If it's the former, consider:
>>having my photograph taken with a monkey at the seaside. I was later told that the monkey had probably had all of it's teeth snapped off with a pair of pliers. But does anyone ever think what might have happened if the monkey's owner hadn't taken that precaution?
What was the guy doing owning a monkey in the fisrt place? Why were you condoning his treatment of the monkey by having your photograph taken with it and paying him for the privellage?
Have a look at this website which is an ape rescue center in Dorset, UK. The wonderful work they do ni rescuing apes and monkeys from cruelty at the hands of humans is incredible:
http://www.monkeyworld.org/
>>fishermen might act as a deterent to sharks who would otherwise eat millions of swimmers each year?
Solution: swim where there is no danger of coming across a shark - read the signs and warnings on the beach. You are entering their habitat, not the other way round - you pays yer money, you takes yer choice.

If anyone is interested in buying some necklaces made from baby dolphin teeth* please get in touch.
*Don't worry, it's not cruel: the dolphins are battered to death first, before the teeth are extracted.

Holly2003,
That's two threads now - are you stalking me? Perhaps, given that you claim to be from Northern Ireland, I should be afraid of *YOU* and your terrorist tendencies.
Got any semtex dickhead?

I hope you're aware that the CIA uses web monitoring technology and that your use of the word "sem*tex" now has you flagged as a possible threat to national security.
Incidentally my black rhino lip harvesting business is entirely legal. In Uzbekistan. And it provides work for literally 100s of underage kids in Bangladesh.
