Sean Hannity had an engineer on his radio program who was a hippy-dippy leftist. She was a radical animal rights activist, and one year for her birthday Sean gave her a live lobster from that “livelob” website.

What did she do with it? She took it to the neighborhood pond and “set it free”. It swam around for a few minutes in the non-salt water environment and died.

Feeding them to the red-tailed Hawks seems like a good idea.

How do these people think we got to the top of the food chain?

Whenever I hear or see the word “vegan,” I have an almost uncontrollable urge to fry up some bacon.

Here's a little undocumented bug music to accompany your vegan thread here...

If God didn’t want us to eat animals, He wouldn’t have made them out of meat.

It seems they need vegetables that are high enough on the food chain to hunt down and eat those insects.

Cattle farming isn’t the factory production problem. Those cattle are grass fed beef. Once the full grown cattle leave the ranch, they go to the feed lot where they are finished out..ie fattened up.

THIS is where the factory production begins. This is where they are kept in crowded pens and fed corn, silage, and other things to fatten them up before they are sent to the kill plants.

I am putting this out there for those who don’t really know the process here in the states.

Most American grown beef is exported over seas where it commands much higher prices than American markets pay. Most of the beef we eat in the usa is grown in Argentina which is in Western South America.

So when you see “heavy western beef” on the package, you need to ask yourself which country?

I have no idea how other countries raise their beef, or what’s permitted in the feed or what’s permitted to ne sprayed on the vegrtation used to make the feed.

I only know that the usa has very strict laws regarding the raising and handling of beef and what can be sprayed as pesticides on potential cattle feed.

Many countries won’t have anything to do with gmo products so I don’t know how that impacts beef they might import from the usa which is finished out on gmo corn and soy.

There ARE places here in the states where you can purchase grass fed beef to butcher as is, or finish out yourself.

...but if you live trap them, then you have to transport them 20 miles from the capture site and release them...

Uh, sure. Right. I'll do just that.

The point is vegans are killing something to eat just like animals killing other animals to eat. Something alive dies to feed something else alive. Embryos die because of selfish desires. Besides, what does one’s ability to convey pain have to do with anything? I can think of plenty of scenarios where pain could not be conveyed, but real. Inflicting pain is A-ok as long as the object of pain can’t convey it?

All organic strawberries come from root stock that is grown in ground fumigated with methyl bromide. Can’t be done any other way.

“even though she said it went against her vegan principles. “

It actually went against her profit principles.

No! Not the vegans!

Fer cryin' out loud. The rats and roaches.

The vegans you would smoke low and slow. Preferably with mesquite.

'Course west of the Mississippi you'd use a dry rub, east of the Mississipp you'd brush on sauce.

Build little homes for the cockroaches and other freeloaders complete with little signs instructing them that “caring” individuals have provided them with comfortable housing and free vittles, not to mention birthing facilities for the millions and millions of offspring (they’re sort of like the welfare folks in the U.S. that way, very prolific breeders).

Better accelerate the homebuilding, good people!
