Argh...damn autocorrect (auto-co-wrecked)

She wasn’t “totally fixated on the stairs themselves” she was “totally fixated on the CATTLE themselves”

I can imagine a time where people with autistic kids felt hopeless and helpless, and when they saw her, they could only ask...”How? How did you do it?”

Not really sure what her diagnosis has to do with it. Anyone with any sense working with animals tries to see their world through their eyes.

(The butchering industry, however, probably has to be exceptionally hardened against that.)

Ok, killing animals is like killing humans.

But it’s ok to kill plants and eat them.

What about those poor plants? They’re alive, aren’t they?

We need to retrain humans and animals to eat rocks.

;)

"Here are two commonly held moral views. First, we must save strangers’ lives, at least if we can do so easily: you would be required to rescue a child drowning in a pond even if it will ruin your expensive suit. Second, it is wrong to eat meat because of the suffering caused to animals in factory farms."

What if the drowning child is a meat eater?

Is it just me or has anybody here ever even seen a vegetarian wearing an expensive suit? The vegetarians I know wear ratty clothes and reek of patchouli.

There are necessary proteins our body does not synthetize.
So we need to eat at least some animal proteins, otherwise we cannot properly develop, and function.
Vegetarians consume a lot of milk, which contains these proteins so they are OK.
But vegans deprive themselves even of that protein source.
That why they are sick. Apparently to help themselves, they take some animal protein pills to get these necessary proteins.
Instead pills, I would rather have all natural steak!

Let’s face it, we are by nature omnivorous!

God didn’t kill the animals it was the first blood sacrifice. And become a part of the various laws that must be obeyed for atonement. That’s the way the OT worked.

I’ve read her book, and seen some of her talks.

Her concept of the ‘squeeze box’ seems brilliant.

The name of the movie was “Temple Grandin”

It’s one of those movies I end up owning…:)

The same people likely believe that it is just fine to abort a baby for the sake of convenience.

God clothed Adam and Eve with animal skins (Gen 3:21) after their futile self-effort failed to clothe themselves. Nobody else was around to kill those animals.

It is a picture of the blood required for sin and a precursor of the perfect blood sacrifice of the Lamb of God.

Literally from the mouth of God himself.

Not just meat but all manor of living things including those previously forbidden in the old Testament.

Bacon is back on the table boys.

[Acts 10:9-11:18
New International Version
Peter’s Vision
9 About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. 10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. 11 He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds. 13 Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”

14 “Surely not, Lord!” Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”

15 The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”

16 This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.]
