Verbal Karate on Peta

Got into a nice exchange recently with a Peta puke about why we hunt and fish. To harvest that which the land will not support and provide biodiversity. I melted her foolish points away and then she gave me the green light to crush her twisted logic to dust. "Well I do eat fish sometimes" I explained to her that a fish has to die in order for her to eat it. I also told her that we would have mass starvation and no economy if we were to close all the fishing and burger joints across the USA. Millions of people would die and all because people like her don't like the way we kill animals and fish.I also asked her if she was aware that fish eat other fish and animals eat other animals to survive. I told her that I was very happy to be an alpha male and that yes I like the great white shark am at the top of the food chain. She was very upset that she had lost the debate and cowered away with her insipid senseless arguements. Man it feels good to lay the smackdown on these people.

i read a great article in mother Earth news
about animal husbandry and how it is perfectly fine
and moral to eat animals....

his basic argument or philosophy was was that he treats
his animals well in life
before they meet the knife.

Better to have them smiling when you twist the knife.

May fortune favor the foolish....

Look at how expensive Kobi beef is, with all that pampering and massaging and beer!

I wonder if that would work with seafood?
(Although giving a 40 lber a massage would be very interesting.)

I can't stand people that try to impose their personal moral beliefs on to me or anyone else. If you don't like my moral structure, then get the hell away from me. I wish I could say the hypocrisy of lambasting you and then her saying she eats fish is surprising. It's that typical "do as I say, not as I do" attitude that is widespread in this country. If she wants to squawk at someone, direct her to the draggers that do more environmental damage in a day than everyone on this forum will do in their lifetime, combined. Was she wearing a leather belt or shoes?

On the other hand:
It's not at all that I think eating meat is wrong, but I find the way animals are raised and the quality of the meat because of that to be repulsive. Between the hormones and antibiotics pumped into these animals, the filthy conditions in which they are raised and the poor quality of the meat... even if I did eat meat, no thanks. The taste of farm fresh or free-range meat, along with the lack of there not being any additives is well worth the cost in my book.

The term "free range" implies that the animal has a beautiful 100 acre, rolling meadow farm to roam around on while grazing on lush grasses, as it would have back before we discovered the technologies used today. It may only mean that the animal can actually stand while they pump it full of chemicals during it's 6 - 8 week life span.

The Gvt is in the process of defining and limiting the terms that growers are allowed to use but that crap is all BS.

I'm with you, I used to raise chickens and turkeys and the meat was white as the background on this thread. Even the "free range" chicken in the stores is yield sign yellow from all the roids...The only way to get the good stuff is local farms or grow your own.

A good BBQ sauce cuts right through it though...

I completely agree with you. Same goes with terms like "Organically grown" for fruits and vegies. Gotta do the research.

I also am an upstanding member of People Eating Tasty Animals. I love when I get to hand it back to them and also explain that vegetarian is defined as a "Lousy Hunter". They don't seem to like that one too much either. I also find Piping Plover to have tasty eggs but theres no meat on thier bones.

Yes it is a super surf, No you can't throw it..

My dad has the bumper stick that says " save a tree, eat spotted owl" and the other says " SEAL, the other white meat"

Plus all his NRA stickers. And anti Obama stickers that he makes.

I look like a super white power guy driving his truck with my shaved head and tattoos and blasting metal music, the looks are priceless

I look like a super racist
