How sad is this

[seajunky]

Why o why do they make quorn actually look like real meat. If you want to kid yourself that your eating meat, then eat meat.  I wonder if they could make it look like a jack Russel, or a shitpo.

I was brought up to eat meat and decided in September to stop eating it for the sake of the animals and the way that they are treated.  I felt that I was being a hypocrite by having animals as pets but eating others that have had a short miserable life, so being able to substitute the meat with quorn was the answer.

All the animals that I have had in my lifetime have all been loved and had a good home and it hurts to think that other animals suffer the abuse and death that they do.

The internet has opened my eyes and I'm glad it did as I could be just carrying on eating meat for my own pleasure and still being ignorant of what most of the animals go through.

 

As for that cute little "hot dog" I would just have to kiss it.

I think that if you only eat responsibly reared meat from cared for animals, then there isn't a built in guilt factor.

What gives us the right to kill and eat other living animals, though. Even if they have been kept well.
The early caveman's main diet was vegetation and not meat. It's not an essential part of a humans diet as there are so many other things with the same nutrition and I am finding tasty alternatives and really enjoying them.
I'm not trying to convert anyone, by the way. My daughter has been a vegetarian for two or three years, but I made up my own mind in my own time.

Is that true? I always thought the caveman existed on roots and berries when he couldn't get meat, but that meat was the best source of fat and protein and a good large kill would keep the clan fed for a longish while.

I think that this thread has strayed ( like a Christmas Dressed puppy) right off topic............

.......so to bring it back on track, can I just say that if a pet is cold then dress it in something warm, but not in something that makes it look daft.

I've got a better idea, if it gets cold then put it in  the oven on a low heat for about 2 1/2 hours. That should do it.

So I have to leave Evie's tiara at home when I bring her over to Kenilworth then?

You are so naughty, SJ.

That has actually happened with a ferret in America.

When researching ferrets before I got mine, I came upon a court case which was still ongoing at the time.

Burglars broke into a house and clubbed one ferret to death and the other was put in the oven and cooked.

They were taken to court and charged with the murder of the animals. I never knew what the outcome was as I didn't go back for the update on the case.

Thank you all for taking part in this tongue in cheek post. It was fun.

You mean you weren't serious?

That's the nice thing about this site SJ. You can jest around without anyone taking offence.
