Culling isn't sanitised killing, it's killing for a particular purpose - to
reduce numbers of animals


The word "culling" is used to disguise the real term of killing for
convenience. It is deliberately intended to make it sound like something
other than murder.


('pests') which are eating and destroying
vegetable crops.

No living creature is a pest, with the possible exception of Man. If your
crops are being eaten, then either put up with it, grow extra, or protect it
better.

But "people like Mary"? I wonder what you think I'm like!

The sort of person I'm not. You appear to condone the killing of any
creature that you find inconvenient. You're not unique of course. To read
this group, is to see the people who say "I have rabbits / pidgeons / ants /
mice / whatever, in my house / garden. I don't like it, how can I kill
them?" So sad that some refuse to live in harmony.


I don't know that I do, but what about the ones we don't know about? My life
has been saved/extended by drugs which perhaps have been tested on animals.
It's uncomfortable.

My list would include anyone involved in the blood "sports" activity,
transport of live animals, butchers and those who kill or injure animals for
an occupation or hobby. This would of course include vivisectionists. Let
me say once again though that I would be just as much against any harm
coming to these 'people', but I prefer not to do business with them.


But if you wash yourself, your hair, your clothes, your dishes, the products
you use (unless you make them yourself) have also been tested on animals.

Not the products that I use, I check for aminal test labels. I will even
refuse medication and haven't taken any drug for as long as I can remember,
because of the animal testing.
