My apologies.Soushi said:Yes, you are correct, my mistake. Thank you for correcting me, though the caps lock was totally unnecessary.Angerwing said:No, we are OMNIVORES.Soushi said:There is no problem enjoying a good beef steak, we are carnivores by nature.
Carnivores ONLY eat meat. We eat both meat and plants, thus we are OMNIVORES.
Way to insult an entire state.SimuLord said:You fry chickens, shoot horses that don't run fast enough, and probably have the entire eastern half of your state devoted to dog-shootin' inbred hillbillies. Yay Kentucky!
You should really consider a career in State Slogans... you might be the next "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" guy.SimuLord said:You fry chickens, shoot horses that don't run fast enough, and probably have the entire eastern half of your state devoted to dog-shootin' inbred hillbillies.

I was going to type up a big response to this thread, but it seems it wasn't necessary... you have said everything I would have wanted to say.inpachi said:Killing a animal for much needed protein and other vitamins and stuff you really cant get anywhere else and feeding that entire animal to your family is one thing.. But Killing a animal just for the sport or going after animals that are over hunted and near extinct just for the thrill of being possibly the last person to ever murder that animal.. Or Using animals as a means to gamble or Treating them like trash.. That is a entirely different thing! I in no way IN NO WAY agree or even ALLOW if i am able to do something about it completely and utterly unnecessary abuse of animals! There is no need for it other than for the sick pleasures that us humans get by bullying a species that cant fight back.. I also believe in a proper management of the ecosystem..
Nice disclaimer. I'm not opposed to fried chicken (although my digestive tract is violently opposed to the fried chicken on offer at KFC; I prefer to get my fried chicken from my friendly neighborhood Raley's supermarket).-Pod- said:You should really consider a career in State Slogans... you might be the next "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" guy.SimuLord said:You fry chickens, shoot horses that don't run fast enough, and probably have the entire eastern half of your state devoted to dog-shootin' inbred hillbillies.

I hope you arent opposed to fried chicken though or dog shootin... its good sport like fishing for kittens with barbed wire and cat-nip.
Pod does not condone dog-shootin or kitten fishing.
haha.. touchePararaptor said:Ever heard of free-range?ntnimara said:I think their rights should be marketed..
there should be food products that came into being from the humane slaughter of animals.. and all that... and these products can compete with the 'evil' products
obviously the extra trouble of killing animals nicely will imply other costs.. so it's all up to what the consumer really wants:
Cheaper food, but unhappy dead animals
OR
More expensive food, but happy dead animals
Now it's up to you to spend your money according to your purchasing power and conscience.
Wow that is so not what he said...at all.Angerwing said:This. Pointless cruelty to anything that can feel pain is disgusting. I'm against many of PETA's ideas and practices, but to take pride in your ability to abuse animals is fucked up.Pararaptor said:I think that have a god-damn fucking good reason to exist, I don't mind the death of animals for human benefit but if you're going to set fire to sheep you're a sick fuck who needs both help & a spell in prison.

I must say that i am proud of my state. Its like my state is flipping off peta and all the other animal rights extremists in the united states and it makes me happy.
?This year we see many states and territories that are continuing to make outstanding progress with their laws. Unfortunately, there are still many places - Kentucky in particular - where the laws are incapable of providing the legal protections that our country?s animals need and deserve,?
Animals "need and deserve" Im sorry our laws are not meant for animals they are meant for us humans sorry. I do not abuse animals nor do i enjoy watching animals be abused but our government is not there to protect animals. My tax dollars don't need to go to worrying about animals that is where nonprofit organizations should be.
So wat do you people at the escapist think about this and the stupid laws in your states and countries?
EDIT- wow no one is reading what i wrote. I do not enjoy the abuse of animals i just said that it is not the governments responsibility to protect animals but hey thats just me. I also don't like a person to set an animal on fire and that person probably needs help.
EDIT2- And all i get are ignorant stupidity and people who still don't even bother to read what i write.
