See Kobe Beef. As appealing as Kobe Bacon may be, my pauper's budget couldn't handle that. Perhaps they should become Buddhists. Their sacrifice would mean a better (and tastier) life after reincarnation. A pig would be closer to enlightenment. Isn't that the real goal?Mustafa Redonkuloushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06089845952174042550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549089718489651445.post-69440809450330764602007-07-31T16:05:00.000-05:002007-07-31T16:05:00.000-05:00"innocent, sentient and <B>delicious</B> animals" <BR/><BR/>CorrectedChimpanzee Ragehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02218705673999349605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549089718489651445.post-9074408517142662592007-07-31T16:01:00.000-05:002007-07-31T16:01:00.000-05:00Our national media have had a field day reporting on Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick's alleged brutal dog fighting operation. Yet, no one ever reports on the brutal slaughter every hour of every day of every year of a million cows, pigs, and other innocent, sentient animals just as deserving of our respect and compassion as Vick's dogs.<BR/>There is no life before death for these animals. From birth, they are caged, crowded, deprived, drugged, mutilated, and manhandled. They are trucked for hours without food or water and exposed to extreme cold or heat. At the slaughterhouse, they are frequently dismembered, skinned, scalded, or drowned while fully conscious.<BR/>Every dollar we spend for meat or dairy products at the checkout counter is our direct subsidy for animal cruelty. Let's remember our own responsibility whenever we get upset over the latest report on Michael Vick's cruel treatment of his dogs.<BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>Steven Kroit<BR/>2729 Ann Ave<BR/>St Louis, MO 63104Steven Kroitnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549089718489651445.post-32972522615288116912007-07-30T12:01:00.000-05:002007-07-30T12:01:00.000-05:00After reading all the good things Mike Vick has done for people I hope what he is accused of is untrue. <BR/><BR/>If the dog fighting allegations turn out to be true the good he has done has no meaning to me, he is just another sick individual that needs to be punished.Randys Johnsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05695143775969502382noreply@blogger.com
