Let's Just Flip That One Over

[Canary42]

Every Forum seems to be clogged up with "Ban Fireworks" calls because it frightens Darling Little Moggy or Doggy.

How about "Ban Dogs and Cats", they cause more discomfort and/or distress all the year round to those who don't share this sanctimonius pets-come-first obsession.

hereiam // Yes they are ummmm, why do you think we have charities such as Compassion in World Farming//

I was a member of CIWF . They educate farmers, mainly in third world countries on better farming practices. They do not preach , they try to help.

Auntpolly...

So you are what most people consider to be that friendly farmer down the road?

Lovely.

I am vegan for all animals... the mass produced, the over bred, the skinned, the fished, the polluted, the ill treated....

I am happy that your 'stock' finds itself in such capable and loving hands. But those lambs will still go to the same slaughter floor as those mentioned above and will still die in absolute terror.

We do not hold dominion over every other species on this planet.

We can not pick and chose who we are kind to and who we are not... and yet you do.

"We do not hold dominion over every other species on this planet."

What about dogs? Or horses?

"We can not pick and chose who we are kind to and who we are not... and yet you do."

So we can then.

Fireworks and bonfires are great fun. Cats and dogs are a b***** nuisance - cats because they come from the neighbour's garden to c*** in mine and dogs because their owners don't clear their c*** off the footpaths in my village. Yuk.

Divegirl. You've made a life choice and I commend you. I do make fun of your lifestyle nor do I make derogatory remarks.

You are making assumptions where my lambs go. If all lambs went to slaughter how would we replace the breeding sheep?
See? ignorance of how farming works. Like I say, go visit a farm -any farm will do -then come back and tell me what you saw.....
BTW I don't choose what animals I'm kind too, what a silly juvenile thing to say. Now forgive me, I off to consume a lightly boiled unborn offspring of my virgin free range hens. (you could not make it up lol!)

I rescue dogs when I can... can't afford a horse ;)

Just because we can doesn't mean we should and like those ''emotionally immature townies'' people are waking up to the cruelty involved in the mass production of animals as a commodity.

I just don't get the stance of people who are basically standing up for their right to fund animal cruelty.

Maybe, just maybe you can't make fun of me... because all I am saying is be nice to animals and don't kill them no matter how much you pamper them?

If only all animals got the choice of when to die... peacefully maybe.

[AuntPollyGrey]

Have you ever seen an animal die 'in peace'? Death is rarely peaceful.
Anyhow if you want to discuss further start a new thread as we are now totally off topic.
I don't make fun of your life choices, nor do I preach mine.

Seems as though everyone needs educating about something these days. There's always someone who knows better than us, isn't there?
