Spot on. Now that the visible deterrent to foxes harming farm-stock has gone, more foxes are being killed by landowners than ever before. The fox hunts' ratio of kills was pretty poor in reality.Originally Posted by chassamui
If you eat meat or dairy which isn't free-range, you're participating in something much worse.
well I don't smoke so at least that's not a problem.Originally Posted by nidhogg
but Thailand really is a nanny state compared to the West.
What is your other nic's,Originally Posted by Dan
Mustyclit or Horse doctor?? or both??
plus they can't have free range in the supermarkets where we trade, costs to much to shovel the chicken and cow shit off the floors and people was slipping in it and falling, then suing the owners..
Too fookin' right. I was once out riding a lovely little mare in the rolling hills of Northumbria when the hunt went past. The little devil heard the horn, pricked her ears then bolted after the beagles. Left me standing on a box in the middle of a field with my trousers round my ankles...
Perhaps we should dig up some video showing just how cattle are slaughtered and processed for the food you eat... Like this one...Originally Posted by Dan
Not so pretty, is it...
All you hypocrites should fvck off or become vegetarians...
Thing is, that's to eat, it's not purely to be a twat.
It's all for the pleasure of the consumer. Blood sports do it because it's fun; the food industry does it because it saves them - and you - a little bit of money. I don't really think the first is that much worse.
No thats OK, if you can't think of anything to say, just say so or say nothing and keep us wondering just how stupid you are instead of posting some shit and removing all doubt.Originally Posted by Dan
Have you got anything to say which is germane to the subject or is it just another toss up between pointless belligerence and ball-achingly tedious stories about what you were doing when Napoleon invaded Russia?
Not really as the killing sheds are all pretty much the same free range or not. Not much point letting them have a bit more freedom and not stuffing chemicals into them if they are just going to get stunned and get their throats cut, unless it's halal of course where they miss the stunning out. If anyone eats any meat, free range or not, and whines about cruelty to animals they are just hypocrites or very naive.
There's a massive difference between the quality of life of (some) free-range meat and the mass produced stuff you pick up in Tescos.
Rodeo is hardly a blood sport, as apposed to big game hunting in Africa...
As far as the OP, I am sure that you will find that more cowboys are injured in the rodeo business than cattle... Sure, there may be the occasional steer or calf injured, but many, many cowboys suffer broken ribs, neck, back, etc from bull riding... The cattle will wind up being food anyway...
So why didn't you post the plight of the poor pigeons that are shot as sport or how hunters are raping nature???
SHARK is just another PETA-like organization filled with hypocrites...
SHARK - Animal Cruelty Investigations and Campaigns
Give a man a match, and he'll be warm for a minute, but set him on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
Calf roping is for wimps. When I go to a rodeo I skip all that crap and slide in just in time for the bull riding. Been to several in the stock yards in Ft. Worth, and a few in Wyoming, Montana and Colorado.
While browsing the youtube vids I came across on the Noodles might enjoy.

That's confusing two different arguments. Whether or not it's right to kill for food is a different question to whether or not it's right to treat animals in any way we see fit. It's quite possible to believe - and argue - consistently that killing animals is not a problem and also believe that feed lots and factory farming of chickens is awful.Originally Posted by crazy dogYes and no. The kind of low-cost farming which is prevalent now is extremely wasteful. There's no doubt about that but certain types of farming aren't. Traditional mixed-farming, with animals slotted in around the edges can produce high-grade protein with very few extra costs. Hill farming also uses land which would otherwise be non-productive.Rearing animals in any way to eat is a wasteful way to produce protein,Again, some is and some isn't. The law in England allows eggs to be sold as free-range which are anything but if you look around you can find meat from animals which are well cared for.the free range production is actually not always how people imagine it to be anyway.
I have been fox hunting...it is fun, tally ho and all that.
