How can people DO this??
| Thu, 07-19-2007 - 12:43pm |
Completely random, but I was just reading about the charges against Michael Vick (sorry, ESPN.com called :) ) for running an illegal dogfighting ring. It says the operation was "so grisly the losers either died in the pit or sometimes were electrocuted, drowned, hanged or shot." Who in their right mind (which he may or may not be) could intentionally kill innocent animals and/or watch them die?? This entire thing just boggles my mind...

>>c2, you're not going to convince me to be a vegetarian and I just don't see things the same way
I don't care what you eat. I judge people by their actions, not by what they say or how they appear to react to things.
I have plenty of vegetarian friends, even my BF herself for nine years, but she too had to eat meat again for health reasons.

Uhh, it certainly wasn't me.
Anyway, this was definitely not the point of my post...it's a disgusting criminal act is all I was trying to say.
As for killing animals for food, this example came into my head about "humane" treatment and killing...I'm not a big fan of Whole Foods anyway because I think they're hypocritical on many counts, but two years ago they stopped selling lobster because they didn't think they were treated humanely. Um, you cook them by dropping them into a pot! How "humane" is that?? Plus they still have recipes for lobster on their website...so you can buy poorly treated lobsters elsewhere, just not at Whole Foods. ::eyeroll::

Depends on the kind of leukemia, how quickly it's diagnosed and treated, and the overall health/resilience of the patient.
