I'm all for animal rights, except when they groups like PETA put more animals to sleep than they do saving them, as well as when it's more of a fad to be associated with them than for their argument.No animal should suffer; it's why we put dogs to sleep if things are bad for them (why we can't have doctor assisted suicides for human beings, creatures we've deemed more important than animals, is beyond inhumane), but any group that sponsors/encourages/gets excited about someone who broke the law springing lab monkeys or in launching raids on some kind of food facility, is like trying to stop hurt and suffering caused to animals by punching animals in the face.As far as the individual goes, I encourage everyone to stand up for what they believe in. I don't encourage people preventing others from enjoying their own freedoms. I say, crack down on the farms that run things sloppy, murdering animals for their precious, juicy meat may be unavoidably tasty, but there is absolutely no reason these buddies should live in conditions before their deaths that can be related to conditions of the holocaust. Who knows, maybe one day I'll hear and trust that being a vegetarian is healthier for you (in an all around manner, one that proves to me that you can get the right kinds of proteins and stuff your body needs) and will thus consider. PETA sucks though. It's a gimmick, a sham, and is like giving your money to a charity that would rather fight for an animal's right to marry than for making it's life better.   See 12 other replies

oh get your head out of your butt, a lot of things were left behind when the new covenant was formed but some things, like the commandments, were kept. as far as choosing which commandments to follow, well unfortunately thats the world we live in. but the more we strive to follow those commandments, the better life we live and the better we make it for those around us. and you dont have to be a christian to follow them, duh, they are pretty universal   See 12 other replies

This is getting long but other overgeneralizations in this episode really bothered me. The cows milk.. Cows produce more milk than what the calf drinks.. At the diary farms i have been to, the calves stay with mom for a week, then go to their prospective areas, they are still fed milk that is taken from the mom cows as well as other vitamins and supplements and the rest of mom cow milk goes for human consumption, but the babies get fed first. Definition of a veal calf is a calf that has never had anything to eat but mom's milk. no grass, no grain. It is extremely painful to the cow for her udder to be over stretched with milk. they now have milking parlors where when the cow decides she wants milked, she WILLINGLY goes into the milking stall and is milked. I guess it's too much to ask for people to find out the truth before preaching it? Or have we become so desensitized the 'shock' value is the only thing that gets our attention?
best wishes.   See 2 other replies

I find it ironic that no one has mentioned make up. I worked for a company that claimed hog blood, took the plasma out of it and sold that protein to make up companies as a binding agent.
yep, that's right.. make up has hog blood in it.. as well as urea.. another word for 'urine'
So i don't even bother with the 'tested on animals' I'm one animal that is not into smearing blood and pee on my face if you don't mind.   See 2 other replies

isn't the 10 commandments in the old testament? around exodus 20 if i recall. but i guess we pick and choose which of those we wish to follow as well. btw, spoken like a true christian   See 12 other replies

I liked this episode as well. Humane treatment of animals is a must? Will I stop eating meat? No. Will I stop hunting? No. But I will support any legislation that requires slaughterhouses and farms to be humane in their practices. I don't mind paying a couple dollars extra per pound of meat if I know that animal did not suffer a horrific life before I had the privilege to consume it's flesh.   See 2 other replies
