Official animal lover/animal welfare thread

[Ridgley]

I have to agree with some of the, thread here there will always be rotten eggs in society that has no respect for animals and treat them cruelly. I understand vegetarian?s very well grow up as a SDA which a way of life for them it stems from the Old Testament dietary laws.

I myself am not.

If a fly lands on your carrot or pork chop, do you swat it ?

Or is if just doing it's fly thang & should we just see it as part of the way it should be ?

Or do we eat the fly as well?

aquarius moon: I think it?s lovely that you feel you were put on this planet to speak for animals/birds/insects etc.

Everyday there seems to be another animal cruelty story and it makes me so angry that people abuse animals in this way. What that man did to that his dog is sickening, what kind of person does that? Surely he is not quite right in the head, I hope he is sent away to prison/mental institution whichever is best suited! I often see dogs in the rescue I volunteer at who have been mistreated by their owners which has made them become aggressive and fearful of humans. Many of these dogs are not suitable to be rehomed which is terribly sad.

It is definitely down to the parents to teach their children to love animals and treat them well, I once saw a child of about 8 yank her puppy of the ground by its lead so it was dangling in the air because it pulled on the lead. Her mother did the same thing a few mins before therefore setting a bad example.

I have many friends who are vegetarian and I have no problem cooking for them a non meat meal just the way that when I go to theirs they have no problem cooking meat for me. I would like to convert to being a vegetarian, when I tried before I became terribly anaemic but I guess I wasn?t eating well and need to make sure I keep my iron levels topped up. Any tips where I can learn about starting out as a vegetarian?

Good Luck to you in spreading your message, if there were more people like you in this world I would be very happy :)

Just a follow up to my post on the 'rabbit fur coat discussion' thread,

and to put my point across that animals DO have feelings.

Look at the first six photos on this website, which has been named:

'Love and sorrow is felt by all living creatures' a love story of two swallows.

It's very sad.

[Annette Curtain]

I've looked at the " Swallows in love " photo story

Ah....It's sad yes

But do you think there's a swallow reading a love story about a dead human ?

Of course not (selfish birds that they are)

I don't like when one's affection for animals is considered to culminate in complete vegetarianism. It's absurd. I love animals, and I am disgusted by the inhumane treating of such in certain meat processing entities or farms,however this should change - not terminate man's choice of food. Fur clothes - I don't get it - stupid act indeed. But in regard to one's diet - make the lion or the salmon stop eating living beings? - it's part of our nature, of our organism necessities.
