I know, right?

All that concern for a fish on death row?

ZombieKitten said:

maybe the only acceptable form of killing them will be loving them to death

NDRU said:

I should crack them open against my heaving bosom?

I cannot pick up something like that to eat. I remember I was in Missippi at one of the casinos, a couple of months before Katrina hit it, and my brother and sister-in-law and my mother were having lunch, and I could not bring myself to pick up that big old cockroach-looking lobster with the head on. It freaked me out. I ate salad instead.

I'm kinda weird about food. I can't eat anything too ugly or too cute. I can only eat neutral looking stuff like cows and chickens and such.

Lobsters and crabs= too ugly.

Deer and bunny rabbits= too cute.

babynoz said:

I think cows are cute, they have really long eyelashes!

2elijah said:

I agree, crabs, lobster, crawfish, shrimp all look like big bugs, and in fact they are not to far from it!

I was at a friend's and they were eating crawfish, and they were showing me how, "squeeze the juice out of the head..." ech!

But I am a huge meat hypocrite. I eat it but I don't really want to think too much about what it is I'm eating. I also hate whole roast pigs or fish that still look like fish.

ZombieKitten said:

Awww damn, you keep this up and I'll be eating celery...

babynoz said:

NDRU is right about the crawfish. When I was living and working in Florida, one of the male co-workers brought in a whole bag of crawfish, It creeped me out. All those tiny little legs looking like a centipede. Gross.

ZombieKitten said:

not a bad way to go!

NDRU said:

Although that law does seem to be going to far I always do feel a bit sorry for them all piled up on top of each other in tanks.

Once when I was younger and was at the seaside someone had a bucket of live crabs and i made my dad buy them and then let them go into the sea again

OMG, people will hate me now...

- I ate my rabbit's dad, in a pie. It was excellent, HE was excellent.
- Nothing sweeter than veal.

I'm going to hell now, or some people will wish me there.

Teacher said:

omg!!!

please tell me how this came about!

my dad used to have a pet goat when he was about 9

one day he was gone, they had meat for dinner, then some weeks later he was presented with a hide for his bedroom floor to step on when he got out of bed in the morning

ZombieKitten said:

@ the goat! I once, jokingly, said to my mum that I'd skin Ollie when he died cause he'd make such a nice rug to put your feet on in the morning and jesus did she throw a fit. She yelled at me for a long time and I couldn't get a word in to tell her it was a joke. When I finally did, she yelled some more cause it wasn't funny to her.

Well, the woman who had Shockadelica's dad (yeah, I KNOW ) was a breeder, doing the shows and stuff so she had many rabbits of various breeds. Affe (the bunny dad) wasn't going to be a dad no more because of inbreeding percentage, so he'd served his purpose as a live rabbit. His purpose as a dead one was shorter.

Teacher said:

Ollie was also a bunny?

ZombieKitten said:

Finess, can you help me out here?

No he wasn't a bunny! How big do you think that would have been to put my feet on in the morning?

Ollie:

ZombieKitten said:

Just barely smaller than Ollie was.

Teacher said:

imagine how soft the rug under your feet

ZombieKitten said:

And how many pies!

Teacher said:

I really like rabbit actually nicer than chicken

ZombieKitten said:

not a lot of meat though, you need a whole gang of those little bastards to make a meal...

Did you not see the pic ZK posted up there?

Even though one tank each might be taking it a bit too far, I definitley feel they should have room to move around and no rubber bands on their claws. I really dont understand people who dont feel any sort of sympathy or compassion whatsoever for these animals. I just imagine being taken over by a more developed species and used in the same way, it would be horrible to think of having no rights just because we're not as advanced as them. I also think it should be illegal to cook them alive, I dont get how anyone could live with themselves after throwing one in boiling water.

ZombieKitten said:

Tha' hell can y'all eat something that looks like that?

Arnotts said:

Rubber band or not the thing is basically on death row. I would think that's the more pressing issue and the only way to resolve it is if we all eat veggies. Are you saying they should be treated humanely before being eaten or should they be eaten at all?

I don't know if it's true but I heard that they scream when they get thrown into the pot...that would really weird me out and break my heart.

Back when my son was born his father and some friends, of his slaughtered a goat for the occasion according to Kenyan custom. Naturally I couldn't eat the poor thing as I had just made his acquaintance. Being strictly a city girl, I couldn't detach myself from the fact that he was alive only a few minutes ago. I guess if I had to kill my own food I might starve to death.
