I keep seeing irrational attitudes displayed that are characteristic of
the elderly. I hope I don't ever get like that. Bill |

One thing I do notice with age is what I used to moan about others doing.
Telling the same story twice, but I now realise its not that you forget you have told the story, its just that you unremember who you told it to.

Yup, that can happen but what is worse when they don't tell you so. Nothing wrong with an 'Oh yes, I think you mentioned that before' to save you both time (and to show you were listening and remember from the first time). ;-) Cheers, T i m |

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

They should be slaughtered in the countries where they are bred and exported as a foodstuff. 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.

Sounds like dog-in-a-manger. 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. -- Spike |

Hopefully you are grown up enough to understand that. snip even more emotive nonsense. D i m wants to live in world where huge numbers of animal species would become extinct, because unless there is a reason for them to exist, no-one is going to waste money keeping them, apart from hobby farmers with huge primary assets and incomes. Few if any of the animals will be bred because at some point there will be too many. Just like the nonsense of 'rewilding' parts of the country because unless you reintroduce wolves and bears? too, there will be no natural predators for wild deer and boar, who then multiply and end up causing a nuisance or simply dying from starvation because there are too many of them. |

I am doing *WAY* more then you could ever do by signing petitions ... I'm not supporting the process in the first place! Quite, you do more to encourage the eating of meat than anyone else I know. See, it's easy. If everyone stopped paying to have all these animals killed and exploited, they would stop killing and exploiting them. It *really* couldn't be any simpler could it (even for you)! It isn't so easy. Eating a strict vegan diet is shown to be damaging for children. There are a lot of health warning given by medical professionals when embarking on a vegan diet. https://ibb.co/XxFLT2y I am against the export of live animals. 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 a gas chamber then cutting it's own throat as opposed to desperately trying to avoid when it knows is likely to not be what it wants for itself, then I would agree with your virtue signaling. The only signal is that many of us are against the export of live animals. Whereas you don't make the same claim and so contribute to the status quo. They should be slaughtered in the countries where they are bred and exported as a foodstuff. Nope, I can assure you they could. see, again you are fighting the wrong cause. It is the right 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. Wrong. We live in an advanced society so processes are compartmentalised into jobs. In much the same way you watch a TV you didn't build, I eat meat that has been slaughtered by someone else. 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? We have evolved to eat meat, to consume vitamins that are only present in meat and meat products. Yes, we know you're a pervert and would like children to watch various acts that would be classed as age restricted. 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? No, because we have evolved to digest milk in adulthood. You may be the exception here where your doctor has advised not to drink milk. Can you not see how logically inconsistent it all is? https://ibb.co/NNXLFmx Quite, this is consistent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALnsIHIupnk Hopefully you are grown up enough to understand that. Oh the irony. https://ibb.co/tm1WzCR ;-) Is that meant to convey a message? 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). 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 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. 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 dilemma. |
