should be slaughtered in the countries where they are bred and exported

Why is that then. Do they not still die at the end of their trip
*anyway*? Surely a couple of days of discomfort is nothing compared
with only living a fraction of your natural life? Now, when you show
me livestock willingly bolt gunning itself in the head or walking into

trying to avoid when it knows is likely to not be what it wants for
itself, then I would agree with your virtue signaling.

Nope, see, again you are fighting the wrong cause. They shouldn't be
slaughtered at all and the chances are the vast majority wouldn't be
if the people wanting to consume their flesh had to do it themselves.

Doesn't that tell you anything about just how unnatural (in most of
the civilised population in 2021) and barbaric it is, if most people
couldn't do it and certainly would let their kids even see it?

And talking of that, look how early the indoctrination starts:

https://ibb.co/wcMQjvn

"Cows produce milk for their calves (and people) to drink."

No they ****ing don't. Cows don't and never have produced milk 'for
people to drink'. They have only ever produced milk for their calves
to drink and we steal it off them, often killing the calf to do so!

Does that not sound sick to you?

Can you not see how logically inconsistent it all is?

https://ibb.co/NNXLFmx

Hopefully you are grown up enough to understand that.

Oh the irony.

https://ibb.co/tm1WzCR ;-)

No, the bottom line is 'most people' prefer to bury their heads and
morals in the sand and carry on doing what they were brought up to do
and accept as 'normal' because they are normalised to the idea and
addicted to the taste (dopamine). Because of the (apparent) social
acceptance, normalisation, commercialisation and marketing we continue
to 'go along with it' but if they dared to look just a little closer,
most people would question it all (especially if forced to do it
themselves).

So the truth is most people are sufficiently abstract from it all to
allow the cognitive dissonance, the logical inconsistency and the
physic numbing to override their morals, meaning that ITRW, people
don't really like and respect animals, they love their pets and some
'special cause' (often a man made issue) wildlife ... or abused
donkeys but really prefer not to confront what would be real internal
conflicts if they were only to open their eyes and minds.

You had the benefit of 60 years as a meat-eater, and now you want to
remove everybody's freedom of choice on the matter by forcing us all to
go 'vegan'. However, medical science is moving towards the state where a
vegan diet can be seen to be positively dangerous.

Or they may go though the motions of listening but can't take it in
(any more)? ;-(

Or they read something but can't seem to translate that into an action
themselves?

I had a mate read the instructions for how to set up his video / TV to
me over the phone and I repeated it back to him (sight unseen) and he
did it (after not being able to for 'hours' apparently)?

And my missus often tells me things that i've told her.

And I used to mentioned that I have told mine (everyday, non
technical) things previously but that doesn't help her because she
(obviously) can't remember me so doing. ;-(

She just read out a text that she had been sent but whilst he narrated
the words, the detail of the meaning didn't seem to have been
acknowledged by her. ;-(

We (well I) have been watering in a couple of newly planted memorial
trees on behalf of a neighbours family because we can go past there
(when walking for ourselves and with the dog) and they all live miles
away.

The text read something along the lines of 'I've just put 20l of water
around the trees' (letting us know he's done it this time, it would
have been her birthday or summat).

I said 'Ah, he's not applied it though the watering tubes then ...'
and the content of that statement seemed lost, given she's stood there
and watched me empty several watering cans worth of water down the
watering tubes. She even repeated what bits of it he had texted her
and she had taken in ... 'watered trees'.

So yes, apart from not listening, people can listen (even proactively)
but not actually hear / understand / remember.

Trying to relay the instruction 'Turn the knob up' is only any value
if someone knows the difference between a knob, button and switch,
even when there is only one 'knob' on there and what way 'up' might be
(apparently). ;-)

Correct. If the only reason the exist is because we bred them to eat

meat that has been slaughtered by someone else.

We have evolved to eat meat, to consume vitamins that are only present

The bottom line is I want my family eat eat a healthy balanced diet. For
the young ones in my family to maintain normal brain development, rather
than eating a vegan diet and end up with a low IQ.

So the truth is most people are sufficiently abstract from it all to

The truth is we want a natural balanced, wholesome diet, one that
doesn't disadvantage our loved ones and growing children.

Not much to ask for, is it?

BTW, there is no cognitive dissonance. It must appear greatly in your
life to keep mentioning it. No ethical vegan would keep pets, but a
fanatical one, envious we're allowed to eat meat, must be in a great

who he is vilifying might actually care more than he thinks they do.
The attempt was futile so I resorted to abusing him as arguing with an
idiot is folly.

And why do you think your POV has any greater standing than mine?

You really should try harder.

Imagine you were born on this planet without any indoctrination on
what you could eat but were surrounded by fruit, nuts, berries and veg
that could be consumed raw, like peas, beans, tomatoes, lettuce,
celery, onion, radish, cucumber and even mushrooms.

At what point do you think you would climb up into a tree and take a
birds egg out of it's nest, crack it open and eat it? Or see a cow,
pig or goat feeding it's young and think you would want a go, given
you could drink water, or put some lemon juice in water ... or mix
water with other things like ground oats or rice and make something
you could also drink?

At what point would you look at a bird or calf and think 'I wonder if
I can eat that'?

If you had plentiful supply of other foods, at what point would you
think you *should* kill another being , just to eat?

The only reason you would try to argue *for* the killing and
exploitation of animals in 2021 is because you are so indoctrinated to
consider it both 'normal' and 'morally acceptable' when in fact it's
neither.

Because when it comes to the crunch, you can never provide a cohesive
argument and post lies. When shown to be lies you resort to personal abuse.

You have truly lost it. See your GP.

When it's in the supermarket or cooked and placed on my plate.

To obtain all the nutrients I and my family require as part of a natural
balanced diet.

The only reason you would try to argue *for* the killing and
exploitation of animals in 2021 is because you are so indoctrinated to
consider it both 'normal' and 'morally acceptable' when in fact it's
neither.

It's not the only reason. I don't don't want to harm my loved ones by
feeding them an exclusively plant based diet.

Thankfully some people do care for the harm is causes:

Oh, of a majority of old meat eaters? g No, you surprise me!

The same ones eating a natural balanced diet. Meat eaters and
vegetarians are inherently greater in number.

will put you in the ignorant
camp simply because you have not, and cannot think through what you

In your opinion.

Of the majority.

Unfortunately (for you), I share my POV with millions of people,
including many experts, scientists AND farmers and that number is ever
growing.

History has caused us to evolve into depending on eating meat and meat
products to maintain out health. We have evolved to digest lactose into
adulthood.

We have evolved, and fanatics with a dairy allergy issue have not.

It's not a coincidence that those with a mainly plat based diet and
lactose intolerance are generally associated with the third world or
developing countries.

Once it's reached critical mass, *you* will be seen for the ignorant
person you are.

https://ibb.co/fxwS97T

Meat eaters are already a critical mass. You are a fanatical ignorant
person.

I'm amused that he used to rail about troll behaviour. Now it is the

As a measure of useful group activity one could look at the gaps between

Yup. If you don't agree or like something the best thing to do is hide
from it and then it will go away.

And in many cases the feeling is mutual and partly for the same
reason.

Like, you generally make friends though common interests, it can be
via other people, friends of family etc but here it's generally more
because we (or those of us who have been here for some time and do /
share practical stuff) have a common interest.

However, sometimes you learn things about even your 'friends' that
changes the viewpoint to such a level that maintaining that friendship
becomes difficult. This is most likely over to be things you are
passionate about yourself and *especially* when there are innocent
victims who are suffering, whoever it may be.

Like, if you learned they were active racists, wife beaters or partook
in anything that caused unnecessary suffering to anything or one (like
fox hunting, especially when done under the banner of 'sport'), then
that might be a game changer.

In my case the unnecessary suffering is to do with animals and whilst
there are some here who are in full agreement with me to that end,
there are some (and I'm not even including the trolls here) who seem
completely un waving in their attitude to their treatment of animals,
people who previously I have held in high regard / respect, not only
for their practical / technical skills but in general as (and
obviously IMHO) 'good people'.

So maybe, just like I was with smoking in public places (especially
indoors), I am (along with millions of others around the world) ahead
of the general game and so it's also it's likely it's the same with my
attitude to animal rights. Luckily (as it was with smoking) it's
obvious I'm neither the first nor alone and listening to all the
science, something we will all be considering more and more as time
goes on (like / agree / with it or not).

But then the exact same thing happened with black rights, giving women
the vote and our attitude to people with disabilities or with
'different' views to what sex person should be allowed to marry
another. Many people would have been in denial (that they should have
such equal rights) and would therefore actively resisted or just not
supported, until it was forced on them by law or societal pressure.

Some will never change their attitudes of course and so likely take
them to their graves.

So in the light of the above, as the lockdown (hopefully) eases and
the weather (hopefully) get's better, I really should spend more time
getting on with more productive stuff. ;-)

I learned a lot about people, so thanks to all those who were willing
to engage in a real *conversation* and especially to those who
obviously have already chosen to better align their actions with their
morals.
