unclebutcher SG you know, i've thought alot about us humans who eat meat, and the inhumane ways and suffering the animals face when they get slaughtered, simply for our consumption. but , at the end of the day, i just say, heck it, and order an extra large portion of beef steak.
FireIce SG when ppl eat chicken and fish they are ok when u eat rabbit they go.........yeeww....so cruel........rabbit so cute ..........
parn SG I don't mind if the animal is slaughtered to be consume as food. But torturing and abusing animals is no-no...regardless of the size of the animal. I know in china zoo, they feed a real cow to a bunch of hungry lions/tigers as a real wildlife show to the vistors. And you can find a Liger in Korea zoo...it's a hybrid animal between a lion and a tiger. Rabbit meat tasted like chicken by the way.

digicharat SG so the lions and tigers which hunt for food and eat their prey almost alive, tearing chunk of flesh off their prey is not animal cruelty?
oldkid SG Hmm, cannot mix animal cruelty and consumption together. Animal cruelty is when someone feels pleasureable when torturing or abusing an animal. This is absolutely wrong. For the consumption of animals, IMHO, i think its more of a cultural or habit. Most of the families brought up their kids eating meat. If a family is strict veggie and the kid is brought up as veggie, high chance is the kid will never touch meat. People who slaughter animals are not neccessary cruel. It is a mean of trade or skill. Its just a job or work they need to do to earn a living.
oldkid SG hehe, so far I had eaten: pig lamb chicken duck goose fish, prawn, crabs and other seafood deer snake crocodile rabbit horse my opinion is, vegetables and fruits are still the best. s h i t not so smelly.
