Some say that Bingo, smoking cigars or watching cartoons on Saturday morning is "sick".
Thank you for your pronouncement, Mr. Arbiter of All That is Well and Good.
So I gather that you don't ever eat any marine critters.
Neither do I.
I'm a strict vegetarian. I only eat critters that eat vegetables, herbs and grasses.
Well, you had better start, or those of us that do will outlive you.
What do you do for B12 - Take pills?
I wish that were true.
This nation is full of cannibals - led by the current U.S. Congress and occupant of the White House.
A cannibalistic carnivore...yeah, that's something to brag about.
Apparently, your ‘brain’ has gone far too long without sufficient oxygen...that’s what all that red meat does for your arteries.
Okay, I’ll call them “offspring.” The point is the same. Animals are bred by humans. They have more offspring because humans have bred them to be that way - more fertile than their wild counterparts.
Whales are NOT bred by humans. They live in the wild. Killing more of them will NOT result in them having more offspring.
Killing animals does NOT make them more fertile. There is NO connection.
Typical liberal. If you can't dispute the truth, attack the messenger.
Uh, I hunt large mammals every year that live in the wild and are not bred by humans.
The more we hunt them, the more there are.
Okay, then I guess your anecdotal evidence trumps all research known to zoology. Tell it to the fisheries along the East Coast that have collapsed due to overfishing.
Typical dimwitted lughead thinking...oh, a vegetarian/animal lover HAS to be a liberal!
Wrong!!!
The tradition argument for their right to slaughter whales rings hollow as they don't go out in ancient wooden boats with hand thrown harpoons. They use the latest technoogy to make the kills. What the F are they studying that they need to know. I give Greenpeace a pass on harassing the Japs on this.
So for the sake of the hedonist market, you cheer the Chinese looking for bear parts and rhinoceros horns for aphrodisiacs, Koreans looking for dog meat, ivory lovers killing elephants for their tusks. You might as well as support the hedonists who seek children for their pleasure. After all their is a market for it.
The more we hunt them, the more there are.
You make a good argument for abortion with your impeccable logic.
Nice apples and oranges argument. You compare child sex trade to whaling? nice logic.

Vegetarians have a larger carbon footprint than meat eaters. Kinda selfish way of life.

There are between 5000-12000 Blue Whales and historically estimated at 20,000 not that you could get a count in the ocean. That’s hardly endangered.
Pray for America’s FReedom
Yes...how very selfish to not participate in the slaughter and consumption of other creatures.sarc/
Why is it that so many carnivores feel the need to attack vegetarians for their life choice? Guilt, the only reason that makes sense.
Very rarely will you find that a vegetarian has attacked the choices of carnivores until provoked.
I certainly don't, I stated the disgust I felt over whale hunting and was immediately attacked because, "you must not know where hamburger comes from, do you not eat cows, deer, ducks, elk, etc., etc."
It was only after being accused of being a hypocrite, a liberal whale-hugger, an emotional responder, and other various stupid and jejune things, did I even reply simply, that no, I do not eat mammals, fish or poultry.
That's when so many meat-eating neanderthals pounced on me like a wild hyena for the crime of vegetarianism.
Now, if I were to follow suit with the same vein of attack that I as a vegetarian faced...I guess I would have said something like...No, I do not partake of the decaying flesh of another living being. A being that has their blood drained from their flesh in more than likely a cruel and torturous manner. A once living being that has it's carcass sawed apart, so some human can throw it's flesh onto a Barbecue grill, char it over with carcinogens and then gnat that artery clogging, heart attack waying flesh from the bones of the hacked apart once breathing, living anilmal. Not unlike a back alley stray dog latching on to piece of rotting flesh, that's a carnivore!
Yep...I guess I could have said something like that...but, then again, what is the point? I would have just been stating the obvious!
Where is B12 mentioned in this slanderous accusation?!?
