I must wear "eau'de Psycho"

[Gurndigarn]

As a member of PETA I just want to say that we are not all like that by any stretch. People like that aren't trying to do anything except draw attention to themselves and certainly are not helping animals any.

I'm not sure what you're group is like, but if needed, can you please point out to them that even something as innocuous as putting stickers on things that don't belong to them... say, for a random example, video games they happen to come across... do nothing but piss off the poor schmuck that is required, by his job, to keep said games clean and sticker-free?

Considering I was a butcher for a decade

as a butcher, were you allowed to take the good cuts home for the night?

She stayed on the veg side all the time, but went to extreme lengths to make sure she didn't see any meat by using hands as blinkers (the sort used on horses).

Jeez...people like her are the reason everyone thinks were all crazy.


I happen to be a complete vegetarian and and animal rights activist, but I would never ever think of doing something that stupid and I am fully aware that leather is a by-product of the cows that were already slaughtered even if I am completely against the way they were killed (c'mon people ther e has to be a better way to do it). And no...they do not remove their hides while the animals are still alive.

Standing in a furniture store screaming that meat is murder is not going to get any response except "Wow...she's nuts". Its people like her that set the animal rights movement back 20 years everytime they open their mouths.

Btw...Fur is bad! Leather is technically bad too...but wasting that much of an animal that died so that people could eat it is a shame too!

[Knifeman]

But it keeps you sooo warm, and feels soo soft!

[ShootMePlease]

I'm a vegetarian, and a supporter of PETA.

Fur is bad.

Leather is bad.

Meat is bad.

You also have the right to believe what you choose. I would never make myself look like an ass to prove my point.

I'd just like to know what really she expected to accomplish, she came off looking like a nutcase.

The right way to do it would be to get a 50 or so friends and the local media to the store and then raise a ruckus, at least then she'd have some support instead of being a lone, crazy woman.

Kus, I give you props for the way you handled that man, sometimes people are fanatical.

Only if they were old and unsaleable.

Oh... Well, in your opinion, what was the best cut of beef?

[Rapscallion]

Sirloin. Fillet - just not enough of it, rump too much and not as tender, yet sirloin was the nicest medium. For roasting/broiling, I think the salmon cut of silverside, or perhaps brisket.

Hmm, fur...

Ya think I can afford that crap, ya numpties? Plus all the care that it needs...ech, pass.

Though I do have a sheepskin rug on my bedroom floor. Absolutely luffly and it says on the back that everything else was used too...

I think I posted about the atheist who complained about the Hindu speaking in the church.
Sounds like a really bad joke eh?
I wish. Turned out to be a bad way to try to drum up business.

My dad was in the army and for the first half of my life he worked in a meat processing plant, and my mom was born and raised on a farm, so I didn't have much choice. I'm a pure-blood meat & potatoes kind of gal. If it's green, I won't eat it.

[blas]

I just won't eat green things because I hate the color green......go figure, lol.

This one's going to be trouble, everyone. I've had to delete/edit a number of posts this morning.

I wouldn't allow someone from a militant organisation of any kind to preach here - whether it be religious or ethical. I want the same courtesy applied in reverse. I don't want anyone making vegetarians feeling uncomfortable, so if you don't have anything to add about SCs and the subject of the thread - your personal views on why eating meat makes you jolly are not appropriate, for example - then just read and enjoy. If you want to argue the toss, go to http://www.fratching.com

We're close to closing this one.

I'm beginning to think Kusanagi needs some body armor, a Taser, stun gun, whip and a chair from all the stories he's telling. Migawd dude, even if I could stomach the idea of being in sales (better you than me) crap like this is the sort of thing that would make me wanna quit and take up birdwatching. Hmm...that sounds appealing over my current job, now that I think about it....
