well , of course it would still be murder but at least you won't be a hypocrite

Dewrede said:

Oh ok cool. I believe that if God didn't want us to eat animals then he would not have made them out of meat!

Therefore I have no problem with the labels some people wish to attach to people who make different eating choices.

SCNDLS said:

Y'anno?

...and throw in the lobster, too.

davidoff1966 said:

People are made of meat too! That's why some people eat people!

ufoclub said:

oh yeah, and animals higher up on the predatory food chain eat people too!

ufoclub said:

Seems like it's just the way of the world then. We're just part of the big wheel of life.

I always pick out my lobsters.


Not that one.....the other one!!!

I just had lunch at my fave Italian restaurant. I ate lasagna there and ordered the Fettucine di Mare to go. It has all kinds of seafood in it and I was like, "Can we ADD a lobster tail to that bitch?"

I would've said, "And kill a couple extra lobsters just to show those fuckers we mean business!" Lobsters are bastards.

I could if that bitch had previously kicked me and I would take extra enjoyment out of eating her.

The scallops were talking reckless too, so throw they asses in the pot while you're at it.

Look up "Live Sushi" on youtube.
Or "Fish cooked alive" on youtube.

Unbelievable. The live Sushi videos actually have western folks
eating from the fish and saying, "awww, poor thing"

The fish cooked alive one is just too awful for words. Apparently,
there's a dish in Singapore (and parts of mainland China) in which
fish are gutted (still alive), and deep fried (only the body--the
head is kept above the hot oil) while still alive. Then
served to it's customers right away, as the fish remains alive
for part of the meal---some say the fish is already dead and
only having involuntary muscle reactions but I don't believe
that shit.

this is going to be a tough choice

I saw something like that on Ripley's Believe it or not (with the great Jack Palance, of course) where they cut up lobster tail & served it with the lobster still moving.

In some ways it makes sense, as it is so fresh, and really we should know what we're eating. But I am a total meat hypocrite. I completely want to separate the meat from the animal.

For me, I'm the same way.
But additionally, I just find the serving of animals in such a manner,
for presentation and 'amusement' to be horrifying.

I'm working my way back to veganism again, but I think if you're gonna
eat meat at least make some effort to minimize the cruelty
involved in it.

Frying a fish alive and eating it alive? Serving a fish that's
been hacked into sushi slices while it is still gasping for
oxygen? Truly aweful.

I enjoy selecting animals for death and then having the salad.

salad bar is good value

TheVoid said:

I feel like there was some Simpsons episode where they talked about a certain animal that had to be scared to death in order for it's meat to taste right.

But I hate when animals still look like themselves on your plate. Pigs, especially, are gruesome to me. I don't really eat pork, though, that is one thing I can't shut out of my brain when eating ham.
