FOX HUNTING! (1 Viewer)

[Stuart Little]

However, if everyone decided to be vegetarians vast amounts of land housing animal populations would have to be turned over for fruit/veg growing purposes.
where would the little animals go?

fuck them, say the veggies, and give us our turnips.

i still don't get it...stop the foxes being hunted, but fuck it, let's get stuck into a cow and some baby lambs after we have "Humanely" disposed of them by shooting metal bolts into their brains...isn't it ironic, don't you think.

sorry but i'm still safely up on the moral high ground here in veggie land

[1]i said shut up, doyle[/1]

Brady have you started to hear me in your head again?

 

[Anne OMalley]

Should we ban fly spray? What about mouse traps?

Should there be a roadkill tribunal?

All the farmland that is used to grow crops to feed the animals could be used to feed people instead. Cereal farming is soooo much more economical then meat/dairy farming anyway. So the animals could stay on their little farms and we could get the cows little bells to hang around their necks and we could call them daisy and buttercup and everything would be wonderful. I've got it all worked out.

but then the foxes would attack and we'd all be fucked...they'd destroy our crops and eat our cows and fashion deadly scimitars out of the little bells and all would be lost.
Whaddya going to do then...eh ?

and what do the animals eat then?

ye veggies are just as cruel as we hamburglars...

 

[Mr Incognito]

It's a fox, so what at least it's not a dog that would be cruel. Pricks.

God's Cutest Creature

Stuart Little (19 Feb, 2002 12:15 p.m.):

How can you be so cruel?
You sicken me.

Noooo, don't personify soya beans, iI won't have anything left to eat!!I'm convinced my vegitarianism dates from my dad trying to convince me that a sasuage I was eating said 'ouch' when I stuck my fork in it - I was five. That and the constant odour and sounds of squealing animals from the abattoir on Synge Street beside my nan's house (now happily replaced by posh houses).

Anyway, it's not like vegitarians only abstain from eating cute animals, you wouldn't catch me eating a cuttlefish either (cue Stuart L adapting a picture of a cuttlefish so that it looks like Bagpuss).

 

[Stuart Little]

Cuttlefish = Cute lil fish

.

 

[Lolo]

It's still pretty darn gross.

I never trusted that stuff.

What about mouse traps?

I'd actually have serious problems using one in my house, but at least they're quick. I'd be more inclined to use those ultrasound thingys that keep the little buggers out in the first place.

Should there be a roadkill tribunal?

If someone deliberately runs over an animal, they should be prosecuted.

If someone accidentally does it, they can't really be held responsible for the actions of a dumb animal that was too stupid to stay off the road, can they?

[1]And I know you were joking. I hope[/1]

Well, if only one constructive thing was to come out of this discussion, somebody should at the very least have started a band called Fox Panini.
It's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

I know it's cruel to go out hunting foxes
Or to put my aftershave in rabbit's eyes
But what I want to know it how far does this go?
Does this rule extend to embryos and flies?
Is it cruel to kill the microbes in my toilet?
Or to swat a thingy like a stingy bee?
Is it cruel for me to say that I'll never fall in love with you?
And what about cruelty to me?

 

[Anne OMalley]

"Fox Pannini" sounds like the name of a porn starlet.

I've been trying to find the item about "Fox chunks in pauper's tears" on the unnovations.com site ("now you too can eat like the gentry"), but it must have been just on their TV show.
