    Sorry you feel that people that care about the rights of animals are morons. Who'd have thought people with compassion for a living creature were in fact, morons. And environmental groups are happy because it means less land and less water will have to go into agriculture.

    405 this is beyond an ignorant post.

    I'm kind of between your two positions.

    I'm for eating what I kill, and in that case, nothing wasted, so sleep good at night.

    I'm against sport hunting, and then leaving the prey for the vultures.

    IF this artificially cultured meat is economical and palatable, then I'd give it a go. but hopefully, I'd hope that it would be more economical that non artificially cultured meat, else where is the incentive for the masses?

    I am definitely with you there Times. I never understood sport hunting. I think some people feel masculine when they shoot down a big animal when there is nothing "manly" about that. I mean you have big freaking gun. Now if you can kill a lion with your bare hands, then you can have something to brag about. If you are going to eat what you kill, then that is fine (as long as it is not an endangered animal); but some people think it's cool to take down a large animal.

    I think intelligent meat consumption, one where animals aren't kept in deplorable conditions, is fine. The reality is though with over 7 billion people on this planet, it is not feasible for everyone to eat meat the same way we glutinous Americans consume meat.

    I endorse hunting. However, I am against the way that it is carried out. If you are going to kill something kill it. Don’t shoot it then have to track it down so that it can suffer until you put it out of its misery. I find that cruel. Trapping is necessary to help regulate wildlife population. Again I don’t like the way that individuals trap. The traps they use 90% of the time don’t kill the animal it only holds them there until the trapper arrives so he can beat the animal to death or step on its throat choking it to death. Maybe the animals lucky and it’s by a body of water and it receives the pleasure of being drowned. Most trappers skin the animals and then throw their bodies onto a pile. If you’re going to trap a regulation should be in place that you must use the fur and the meat of the animal. If you’re not going to eat it donate the meat to a food pantry. Every year while growing up I was forced to hunt and trap. I loathed the experience. The only thing that made it bearable was being able to donate to those that had little or nothing.

    I definitely agree here. Unfortunately, I am not a vegan; but the practice of industrial meat production is horrendous. We people like to believe we are the absolute shit, and we are superior to all other living creatures because "we were made in the eyes of God." Animals are there merely for our own benefit. It's ridiculous. It's also hypocritical. The argument that people tend to have is that since we are more advanced and intelligent, we are superior creatures; yet most people don't apply that logic on an intraspecies level, that is Human A is superior to Human B because Human A is smarter.

    Agreed. When you have different races that believe they are better than others, then what real chance or respect does the animal kingdom have from us. Humans are the custodians of this planet and we treat the place like it's a fvcking toilet. When man isn't busy doing something abhorant to the environment or an animal, he's doing it to another human being.

    What purpose do cattle serve? Are you only against using them for meat or do you have a general problem with killing them? If people don't eat beef most farmers won't raise them.

    keep in mind i am not suggesting i agree with animal abuse. BUT a lot of the animal rights tree hugging type people go over the top in the other direction saying we should not eat any meat or kill any animal bla bla bla.. that IMO is as stupid as stupid gets and it is what i was referring to specifically..

    id also like to note u should put an "IMO" behind ur statement because thats all it is...ur opinion.. and its one i disagree with completely! animals are animals.. they are not even in the same ballpark as we are..

    in closing id like to say i have dogs and cats at home and love them dearly and deeply.. i would NEVER consider treating them poorly and dont condone anyone that would..
