It was the ability to devise ways to turn cows milk into a form that could be stored for consumption during the winter months (plus other plant-based stuff) that allowed the humans who migrated north to survive the winter. True, but no more 'natural' than saying they ate each other whilst there to survive or stealing someone else's food to do the same. Only a fanatical vegan would associate drinking milk with cannibalism. (eg, For us to consume milk we need to deny it to the very creature it was made for). That is why we have farms, where cows outlive their expected life, where in the wild they would be expected to have two calves before dying. Ditto using animal hides and fleeces to keep warm and dry. See above. Maybe what might have made more sense is staying where were could survive more easily? Is also makes sense to use renewable resources. Didn't you admit to owning leather shoes? A useful side effect of this was better development, leading ultimately to the industrial revolution. And the near destruction of the planet. And yet you want us feed more humans. Most of the western world's population has been shrinking. The expansion of the rest of the world is largely dependent on food production. Meanwhile in Africa and pacific countries, all they needed to do was catch fish, collect breadfruit and taro to survive. No impetus to devise a way to survive a food shortage because they never had one. QED And most native peoples had more respect for 'the land' and only took what they needed (to survive). That's why advanced civilisations have governments to make laws to protect the environment. They mostly couldn't be arsed, and when it is so hot an humid, doing as little as possible is so much easier. And makes much more sense than trying to live is less naturally hospitable places. Many animals migrate exactly for this reason (including us who because there is generally an easy supply of food wherever we go for the sun (without having to hunt it ourselves), we can do similar. ;-) No need if we have farms, no need to hunt it ourselves. |

Because (and possibly though ignorance) they aren't treating them like pets they are (typically) abusing and exploiting them like slaves. ;-( Is that an admission you abuse and exploit your dogs like slaves? Most people don't keep a dog It is true most ethical vegans don't. and have it work for them generating electricity on a treadmill or getting it to dig over the garden by burying bones here and there? Quite, pets are abused and exploited for your personal pleasure. A chicken is no different to no other bird in that they have a desire to lay eggs, build a clutch (of varying number depending on the species), sit on those eggs (incubation), have them hatch and then tend / feed / protect their chicks until they are mature enough to 'fly the nest'. They might also only have restricted breeding seasons. We have exploited the chicken (and some other birds) by taking their eggs away from them and so forcing them to keep laying them in an effort to form a clutch and in so doing cause them mental stress and putting extra strain on their reproductive systems. By taking the eggs away you also remove the ability for her to use the egg itself as a way of recouping some of the lost calcium (seen at it's worst in battery farms by all the birds with broken limbs). Then campaign to improve welfare standards, from your admission we know you don't want to. Taking on an ex battery hen is obviously a good thing in the sense of their living conditions (they are also under mental strain when forced into a shed containing 10,000 other chickens because they can't cope with that large a social group (they would normally be in flocks of less than 100 as they can only recognise 100 other birds to know they are friends / family and not aggressors from another flock) but may not be much better off in other ways. How did you measure this stress? It's a fact that pigs are less stressed when reared in sheds in benign conditions. Also, they are typically forced to roost on the ground (and so vulnerable to foxes as foxes do get into their cages etc) when they would normally roost in the trees to be away from such predators. Having a fox wandering round at eye level and trying to get into your house is way more stressful than looking at that fox from 20 feet above it. Not many chicken owners leave their chickens vulnerable to foxes, however much you'd like this to be so. Also, if you take on (and especially if you 'buy' from the farmer) an ex battery chicken you aren't doing the chickens (in general) any favour if that outlet is more profitable (or even less loss) for the farmer. Quite, a bit like your animal rescue centre, they "aren't doing the digs (in general) any favour if that outlet is more profitable (or even less loss) for the dog breeders." It's the same as people who buy animals from food markets in China and set them free, the person trapping them in the wild is still getting reward for their exploitation. On top of that, given that male chickens play no part useful in the egg industry, they are all generally killed at about 1 day old by being fed live into a macerator. It's a pretty quick and painless way to go. https://ibb.co/JmYzpVz Are you confusing animal life with human life? They are different. Do you cry every time you step on an ant? https://ibb.co/YyrMXZc He's probably not aware of the environment he's in. Rarely is it the obvious, it's often also all the stuff that goes on behind the scenes that people who don't want to support all this cruelty and exploitation want to make people aware of. If you disapprove of these scenes then campaign for their improvement. It's a shame you don't care about animal welfare while the animal is alive. Given humans are supposed to be so intelligent and therefore remorseful, you would think we would have devise other ways of surviving without having to cause suffering, exploitation and death of millions of sentient, intelligent, social and trusting [1] animals by now ... and for the vast majority we have of course. Intelligence and remorsefulness are not synonyms. We have evolved to eat meat and drink milk as part of a natural balanced diet. https://ibb.co/rdQvftm ;-) No we really don't. Man has advanced and because we can cook and consume high value foods such as meat and meat products. The alternative is being cattle spending 1/2 the day eating grass and consuming all that energy to digest it's food. We have come a long way. Cheers, T i m [1] And that makes even more disgusting. The animals you mention are not capable of simple human constructs such as 'consent'. Were your dogs asked if they would agree to their genitals being mutilated? In general we only 'domesticated' animals that were generally gentle, curious, intelligent (I think pigs are the 4th most intelligent animal, over dogs and cats) and trusting. We keep, feed and provide shelter ... then cut their throats ... Even a crow is said to be more intelligent than a pig. Can a pig understand consent? |

I'm not sure it's a cruel/kind binary. Well, no, not once we have got to the position of 'rescuing' a creature from what can only be seen as a form of animal slavery possibly. A rescue hen kept in decent conditions until they die. It's not ideal but I do see a mutual benefit. That can be the $100 question. eg, *Is* it really better to 'keep' an animal like that, rather than killing it (given we have already brought it into the world to exploit) etc, certainly in comparison with it not being part of any industrial process in the first place. This choice would very much depend on just how 'natural' it's life was in any 'rescue' environment. I don't believe I'm anthropomorphising here - I obviously don't *know* how the hen might be feeling about it all. Understood. I don't anthropomorphise either, I don't need to to *know* that most and certainly all the highly sentient animals have feelings etc. And the eggs are just waste I'd have thought, from the hen's POV? Only because it's not in a 'natural' environment ... In the wild, a flock of hens (like the red jungle fowl and likely a very close relative of what we call a chicken) would live in a small flock with a mix of cocks and hens. If there were no cocks (or hens) the flock would eventually die out. With a cock the hens will have their eggs fertilised (I'll leave you to ask your parents to explain the 'how' on that g), and so a hen will build and sit on a small clutch of eggs, not having any more during this time and until the eggs hatch and become more cocks and hens. Like most birds, the chances are there will also be breeding seasons (often trigger by increasing daylight hours) where they know they will have the best chance to be able to feed and train their offspring to look after themselves. I'm guessing with the lack of predators, once the flock has reached a certain size (they can 'recognise' about 100 of their kind apparently, their social group) a sub group may break off and start a new flock (probably led by a dominant cock) etc. So, if you keep just hens then they will keep laying eggs (because as you say, once they have one in the system it has to go somewhere) and yes, at that point it would be a waste product but is rarely 'wasted' by them as they will eat them themselves, especially the shell to recoup the lost calcium. So taking the eggs away (and broody hens will sit on a clutch unfertilised eggs (21 days or so) and so stop laying more) means the hen well *keep* making eggs and that isn't natural. I'd concede my view is largely informed by looking after some hens for a few weeks - I don't really know what I'm talking about. I would imagine you have done more and so got closer to these intelligent and inquisitive social creatures than most and so see them more than their body parts in 'a bucket' and covered in the bit that most people *actually* crave, the dopamine and 'herbs and spices'. I'd offer anyone my waste products but I don't think I'd get many takers :-) Well, until we biodigest more human waste you could be right. ;-) Cheers, T i m |

Oh certainly it's part of the discussion. Because what you've attempted to do throughtout this is to paint lactose tolerance as strange and unusual and unnatural. OMG. Are you one of those still suckling on your (a) mothers breast as an adult? ;-( Which is typical dishonest behaviour for you Oh the irony! Let's see how desperate you get in your effort to distract from the spirit of the conversation and my point again ... (not a politician are you?). See this post of your he Yup, because of the circumstances / cultures / religions of 'some people', those people have *developed a tolerance to something they were never designed in nature to consume, certainly after they had weaned themselves*. No, ****-for-brains, they haven't developed a tolerance. The point is thay *haven't* developed an *intolerance*. Semantics (re the actual point of course). Meaning that you can't tell the difference. Figures. Nope, I fully understand the difference but it's only semantics as it's not relevant *to the point*. Yeah, you understand the difference all right and have attempted to suppress it throughout. Fact. They have maintained a tolerance by doing something unnatural, even if continuing to consume the milk of their own species after weaning. If you can gain any sucker from thinking you got one up on the spirit of my point re maintaining / losing tolerance to something that we don't have tolerance to naturally (because we wouldn't normally continue consuming it after weaning) then be my guest! Now it's been shoved down your throat you're having to wriggle. Aww bless. I wondered how desperate you would get in an effort to prove your black was white but you just rolled out that same tired strawman again. Is that really all you have got? So, are you still suckling on human breast milk? Is it easy to find and how expensive is it? Do you drink it at body temperature or from the fridge? I'll recap the points I was making before you tried one of your desperate strawmen / distractions. Once human babies are weaned they no longer need, and generally don't then have access to, mothers milk (eg, what you are currently doing is weird, even if it's human milk). Therefore, drinking the milk, meant for the offspring of another species, in 2021 and for the vast percentage of the world population is also weird. It's also cruel and exploitative of the species we are taking the milk from (engineering it to overproduce x10), not only denying the milk to the very baby it was destined for, but often killing that baby animal to get it. Keep sucking those teats ... ! Cheers, T i m |

On the production side, I don't see anything natural in what we do to cows, however well they're kept. On the consumption side, even if there is a requisite and physiological need for cow's milk (there isn't) there are plenty of relatively benign alternatives. But I think this does boil down to what you think 'natural' means. -- Cheers, Rob |
