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!

No, we are OMNIVORES.

Carnivores ONLY eat meat. We eat both meat and plants, thus we are OMNIVORES.
Yes, you are correct, my mistake. Thank you for correcting me, though the caps lock was totally unnecessary.
My apologies.

...and it's the shift key ;)

Way to insult an entire state.

I'm a minority on this issue. I hate animals, and don't give a fuck what happens to them. That doesn't mean I think animal abuse is right or cool or fun to watch or any of that shit, it just means that when people preach to me about cats being skinned alive in China and foxes being hunted for sport in England, I tend to phase out and daydream.

On a bit of a tangent of a note, I do find it weird how people get their pets microchipped yet oppose ID cards. But that's a topic for another day.

You should really consider a career in State Slogans... you might be the next "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" guy.

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.

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.. Ever since we took that extra leap and were able to affect the world in possible ways of complete destruction i think we became the overseers of the planet! It is our job to see to that this planet either withers away and all the species are completely destroyed or it flourishes and is a peaceful and nice place to live for thousands of years to come! And i believe that Human Society needs a complete overhaul and we need to change the way we do things globally! Our petty affairs aren't just affecting us they are affecting the entire planet! And i think it is totally selfish and arrogant of us to believe we can just do it and that's it... I am in no way a supporter of Peta and i agree with Hunting as long as it is done Wisely and done intelligently I am however a support of the core ideas of Peta which is live with the land and not off it.. That doesn't mean to be living in tents and eating mud.. It means doing things with a thought process before doing something that we might regret. And understanding the relationship that we Humans have with Nature.. And how to further that relationship to help both sides.. I also think that in no way that this is something to be proud of.. I think the only thing you should be proud of is how stupid and utterly ignorant the people in your state are..

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.

Kudos.

What "right" do humans have to abuse the planet? Is it because they are more powerful? If so do not claim morality rights when you get invaded by a bigger, more powerful nation. Is it intelligence? If so then don't complain when you get neutered because your IQ is too low to justify you being allowed to propogate the species. Is it because they are merely human? If so this is an extraordinarily arrogant position. Of all the animals humans are the ones with the greatest ability to learn from the mistakes of another, but seemingly are the only ones who don't wish to.

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).

The only time I'm in favor of shooting dogs is if the Soviet army has rigged mines to their backs and trained them to crawl under vehicles. But that hasn't really been an issue for sixty or seventy years.

You say you don't enjoy watching animals be abused and whatever, but if there are no laws protecting animals from abuse then people can just do whatever they want to them with no consequences. And you are proud of that? That is a strange thing to be proud of.

I don't like PETA either but there is a limit imo. If you are going to kill it, do it properly with gain and not for shits and giggles. I woulld definetly not be proud of my country if they allowed anyone do anything to animals with no consequence, kill it fine but if you set it on fire or stick it in a sack and throw it in a river then you are a sick sick man. Especially with pets, you chose to take it in, love it and care for it. You don't just go and kill it. We have animal shelters you could give it to, maybe sell it to someone else.

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.
Ever heard of free-range?
haha.. touche

I think PETA is Full of S*** but some of the things they mention in the article are valid, like preventing convicted animal abusers from getting another pet.
I'm no big PETA lover (Yummy yummy chicken, go KFC!) but maybe they should institue a law to take abused animals away from their owners.

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.
Wow that is so not what he said...at all.

Animal rights go too far, in my opinion. Yes, animals need some rights, but if we keep going like this we won't be able to hunt animals, wear animals, or even own animals. At this point, the animals have more rights than us. They have the freedom of, well, everything, and we don't have the freedom to, say, kill an animal that's eating our children, or if our family is starving we wouldn't be able to kill an animal and eat it.

Yes, I know we haven't gotten there. Yet. Like I said, though, if things keep going the way they are, it's only a matter of time.

If that happens I'm moving to Mars and taking my sheep with me.

Do you mean the person I quoted, or the OP?

Because I wasn't trying to summarise the person I quoted, just agree with him then put some more of my opinion in. And it was what the OP said.

I hate PETA. they are douchey, naive young little rich people who do not and apparently cannot understand even slightly how the world around them works and actually is. Their slogan to make EVERY SINGLE animal in the ENTIRE WORLD have as much or more rights than humans is absolutely retarded. I have no respect for them and their beliefs. I am more inclined to listen to the people who dont eat meat because of the taste then them. If I had to choose between saving all of them and a single puppy who I would have no care of keeping or giving any further care, I would save the puppy.

I read an article a while back in a news paper.
http://www.lex18.com/news/kentucky-ranked-worst-state-in-nation-on-animal-abuse/

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.
At least its just the internet and they arent protesting you by covering you with animal blood.

I have no problem with Animal rights if it's stopping stupid kids Like Kenney Glenn from smacking the shit out of a cat, but PETA just takes it to the extreme, I really hate peta.
