With every bite of meat I honor their memory.
The guy grinned and said, "I'm glad you asked. That's my pig and he's the greatest pig in the world. Once, my wife and I were sleeping and the house caught fire. The pig broke out of his pen and banged his snout on our window until we woke up. He saved our lives! Another time, the tractor rolled over and I was trapped underneath. The pig broke loose, ran into the field and dug under me until he could pull me out from under the tractor with his teeth. He saved my life."
"Okay. Okay. It's a great pig. But what about the leg?"
The guy laughed. "Are you kidding? Great pig like that, you don't eat him all at once!"
Okay here is the scripture in context.
3"He who kills a bull is as if he slays a man; He who sacrifices a lamb, as if he breaks a dog's neck; He who offers a grain offering, as if he offers swine's blood; He who burns incense, as if he blesses an idol. Just as they have chosen their own ways, And their soul delights in their abominations,
4So will I choose their delusions, And bring their fears on them; Because, when I called, no one answered, When I spoke they did not hear; But they did evil before My eyes, And chose that in which I do not delight."
In other word Sacrifice doesn’t mean diddley-squat if your heart isn’t right.
Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it. -Mark Twain
Mark Twain never owned a cat did he? Or saw a hen house after a weasel had paid a visit.

Vegetarian: noun, Native-American word for bad hunter.
Red meat isn't bad for you, green fuzzy meat is!
I love animals...they're delicious.
People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's easier to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs.
If we aren't supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat?
I think animal testing is a terrible idea; they get all nervous and give the wrong answers.
Anyone who doesn't like cats just hasn't had them properly prepared.
I like cats, too. Want some recipes?
Cat: The other white meat.
At least, that's what it stands for here in the South!
The human race could go extinct and I for one would not shed any tears. -Dave Foreman, Earth First!
Humanity is the cancer of nature. -Dave Foreman, Earth First!
So far, Dave has not expressed any love for anything, only disdain for humanity. My diagnosis: a case of deep seated self-hatred.
What an idiot! This is the dumbest thing I've read in a long time, except for the one about the six billion chickens.
Let's try this experiment instead: Put the small child in the playpen with an apple. Take the bunny and fashion it into bunny-mcnuggets. Put it in the playpen with the child and the apple, and add a side of ketchup. Come back in an hour.
And by the way, who is this moron to tell us what's "normal?"
True.
But that won't keep them from killing their dinner, if that is their nature.
That's right... with a peace of chicken, a peace of veal, a peace of fish, a peace of pork...
I actually think this is a beautiful quote... my "Gun Dog" book is full of quotes just like it... Quotes made to show the deep devotion and friendship between man and his hunting dog. The idea of the relationship and responsibilities between man and the animals in his service has already been addressed in the thread, and I wholeheartedly agree. When we employ them in our service, we owe them loyalty, kindness and mercy and no less. Not because they have a legal right to it, but because we have a moral obligation to provide it.
Clearly many of the ideas that follow that quote are range from "different than my view" to "whacked-out in my view"... But we must be careful, when arguing with PETA types, to accept our responsibility to be humane in our dealings with animals. If we claim the right to do whatever the hell pleases us to them no matter what the suffering... the other side wins more followers than we will...
save for later
