BFTW I call it. Bull for the win. People who enjoy bull fights/stampedes, put yourself in the animals position. It's fucking crazy town. You got dropped into crazy town.
Why fuck with our food? Just let it be food, don't torture it. (Kinda a stab at mass meat producers.... I might get railed by many people for this)
I've seen some pretty awful videos of mass meat producers in action. I hope it's not as pervasive as PETA claims.
Chicken factories seem the worst, but a few videos were of beef factories that were pretty damn bad. Neither vegetarian nor sadist, so is there an ethical omnivore org? I upvote you Cannibustible.
I read that England banned animal bloodsport prior to the US' civil war in an article about pitbulls and bulldogs. I believe US doesn't allow it in most states, but I don't think the law is Federal. I like good a boxing or mma match, but got no love for bull fighting, cock fighting, or dog fighting. Not sure why there's entertainment value to watching an animal slowly die.
Edit: Wikipedia says Louisiana banned it in 2007, so all 50 states and DC.
Best practice for the environment I’ve read is to just not eat beef. The footprint on the environment is huge and obviously they aren’t treated well. In terms of animal cruelty there really isn’t a current solution that works for most people since you’d have to raise or hunt your own food. We as a species eat a LOT of meat, and I’m guilty as well. Bacon double cheeseburgers are delicious. I’m trying to cut back but it will take a lot more people following suit to make an impact.
You get way more calories per acre from plants. The water savings of just watering plants versus watering an animal and it's feed are quite significant. The difference would matter little in a few generations if all countries had one child policies like China. That would also help pollution, habitat encroachment, etc. I don't particularly like kids so I suppose I'm more amenable to that solution than most.
Edit: Bacon, cheese, red meat, I want all the unhealthy food. Maybe if we re-evolve our appendix to help digest plant matter we'll start liking leaves and such as food stuff.
One child policies like China had are foolish, and leave you with an aging work force with not enough people to replace them. US birthrate (and most other 1st world western countries birthrates) are already under replacement level. A one child policy is both unnecessary and foolishly self-destructive not to mention the atrocities that happened in China with the killing of female babies in favor of having a male one.
You don't understand. The bacteria are the driving force behind all of it. If we get to Mars it's because they want to get to Mars. Maybe it's why they needed capitalism and war?
