Thanks guys for you interest in helping end horse slaughter in America. I have sent you both an email via The Humane Society so you can ask your state Senators to support the Sweeney-Sprat bill to end this horrible act. It is not spam! Thanks again, I really appreciate it, and also left you a comment in my Save the Domestic Horse thread. Take care. Cindi

And on that misanthropic note, let me quote the poster hanging in my toilet:
All animals except man know that the ultimate of life is to enjoy it. (Samuel Butler)


Man ofcourse prefers to kill and mame in the name of religion or economy (or both) or just because it's so damn freaking hot.

Japanese hunt whales because animal welfare is a Western thing. Chinese and Koreans eat cats and dogs because they're considered cattle. Viewing them through christian or western glasses is silly, since they aren't christian nor western.

Whales are one of the smartest creatures on earth. Cats should not be boiled and skinned alive nor Horses throats slit while they hang upside down alive so some one can satisfy their tastebuds. Just because something is deemed okay, does that mean our brains should fall out of our heads nor common sense and descencey fly out the window. The cows, pigs and chickens are already being tortured so we can eat. Must we keep on adding more animals to the suffering? We are a disposable world. What is not needed anymore for work or gain is tossed aside, tortured, neglected, forgotten, or inhumanely killed that we may yet again get something out of it. I am sure God did not intend for us to do that no matter what is considered clean or unclean food.


You hit the nail right on the head Cindi!!!

Why is hunting whales "slaughter", but other sea creatures "fishing"?

Maybe because whales are mammals.

So are squirrels, so are mice.

So are Cows - yet I don't think people think about the welfare of cattle when they bite into their Big Macs.

I can see where this is going. Nowhere. I believe I have thouroughly explained my thoughts on this matter, as I hope everyone else who posted here has. I am not into hair splitting. Whales are one of the smartest beings on earth. But, I don't give a crap what anything is. The methods of the killing of these creatures is wrong. This is not a debate on what animales are, but how they are abused. If this is all that has been taken from what has been written here, then I will bow out and let everyone argue over what an animal is. If anyone is interested in finding out how to stop the slaughter of horses, I will be happy to lead them in the right direction. That was the point of my thread to begin with. You all have the right to express your opinions as well as I do. But, while we debate what a paticular animal is, millions of animals around the world are being tortured, abused and killed. That is all I care about. While God gave us Dominion over all the animals, fish of the sea, and fowl of the air, Jesus said the most important thing is Love. We are not showing love when we mistreat ANYTHING. And I am sure that gluttoney, greed, slothliness, abuse and torture are not looked on with much favor by God no matter what is is happenening to.
The birds of the air neither sow nor reap, yet our heavenly father feeds them. Ezekiel. No torture or abuse can be justified no matter what kind of animal or human it is.

...and yet, nothing can live without something else dieing. Expand you brain just a tad. You make sweeping generalizations with nothing to back them up. YOU said the difference was that whales are mammals. You. I agree that we need to manage the creation that the Lord gave us, but think a bit about what you eat. For anything to live, something must die. The same is true for a vegetarian or a carnivore. The problem lies in slaughtering to extinction, not what is slaughtered. How would you kill cattle for beef if it were up to you? How would you feed a couple billion chicken eaters? I am very opposed to causing any animal to suffer and would prefer a swift kill for all beasts. How would you do this? So many people think that slaughtering a cow with a hammer is inhumane, but it is very swift compared to bleeding. Is it their death or the method of death that upsets you, Cindi? And then I would like to ask you to come up with the best method of Euthenization to feed the masses.

You are the one who needs to expand your brain a tad. And I don't now, nor will I ever need you to tell me what the problem is. I can and have done that on my own. Your opinion at this point is meaningless to me. And if I had to kill to survive, I would find something else to eat or starve. I find it hard enough to eat meat now without seeing the horrors that brought it to my plate. And every year I eat less and less meat. To see it alive first is not happening. Do you finally get it?

Plants are alive, simpleton. You kill them to eat them.

...and I get nothing but frustration talking with you. See ya.

Screw you Bill. You make me sick. Do you think I don't know that, simpleton? You are so disrespectful, calling me names. You are the one who started it. You and people like you are the reason I left the piece of crap town you call home to begin with. Your brain is as thick as mud. My day's of talking to you are over. They should have stayed over when you called me a monkeys ass on one of the other threads. You're rude, and I hope the feeling is mutual. Then maybe you will leave me alone. Could your rudeness be the reason you are alone with only fish for roomates?

Not if I see you first.

May I suggest you two continue this bickering via email or your userpages.
At least, please keep it out of this forum.

Keep it up and this and future threads will be locked.
