Your views on Foie Gras

[Otta]

On that subject, I was pleased top hear that the Heythrop Hunt were given quite a large fine for ignoring the law. Whatever you think of fox hunting, it stinks of arrogance to just go ahead and do it despite what the law says.

That said, the RSPCA Spent stupid money actually bring it to court!

Otta - surely there are many laws that are routinely ignored - does smoking of marijuana, exceeding the speed limit or underage drinking "stink of arrogance" too?

[Otta]

When done publicly, yes IMO.

You smell weed all over the place these days, something I've only noticed in the last few years. And in my opinion there is an air of arrogance, or "what ya gonna do about it" surrounding the yutes that are smoking it.

The builder's mate working on a house refurb around the corner from us at least has the decency to try to hide his skunk spliff - on the occasions I've gone past at 8.30am.

Ban - yes

Battery chicken - no. Are you going to read posts in future before posting venomous and bile filled rants in response to views you disagree with? Merry Christmas.

I think your post above qualifies as close to venomous and bile filled - but nothing Loz has written compares?

Happy Christmas and a Merry, meat eating, New Year.

Either you are kidding yourself or never eat chicken. Or (gasp) are a veggie.

What a terribly sheltered life you have lead if you think my posts are 'venomous and bile filled'. They are nothing of the sort. They are merely designed (and seemingly *very* successful) at tweaking the sensitive nose of the self-righteous.

> Merry Christmas.

But, yes, have a very Merry Christmas.

Tweaking the nose of the self-righteous? Fcuk me you're priceless, and possibly on the piss. Have a word word with yourself mate, you're totally deluded. Is Loz short for lobotomized?

Maybe not, but saying that he enjoys FG as if it something to be paraded like a badge or a trophy, and to take some sick pride in announcing it to the world is vile and venomous, same as yourself. And I love the way you claim you have an educated palate as if that excuses your disgusting taste for the stuff. Have you tried human lately? I hear all the best people are eating it this year. FFS

PD - I think you've lost your objectivity. A few days of gentle teasing seems to have ignited a degree of unnecessary anger.

Some people eat Foie Gras - get over it!

Gentle teasing??

Don't you realise that some people detest cruelty to animals?

So they get ANGRY reading posts like yours.

It's a vile way to treat a creature because some, for want of a better word, people like the taste. I've always found many of the EDF teasers to be incapable of taking a dose of their own gravy. They dish it out, and when they get hit with a contrary view, suddenly we're self-righteous and all sorts. If you can't take the heat, get out the poxy kitchen. Seasons greetings y'all.

[Huguenot]

Is it only geese and duck that gets you this angry PD, or are there other examples?

How are you with breeding animals for their flesh in general?

[Marmora Man]

Like a trout to a fly!!

Or maggot to a stickleback in your case. Got any more (non)humorous deadbeat one liners?

Wasting your time Aquarius, both MM and Lo(botomi)Z(ed) are our intellectual superiors and are gourmands to boot.So just ignore them, you'll never reach their dizzy heights. Dizzy being the operative word, one of them can't even remember which posts should go on which thread. Bless.

I know. It's really too easy, but the self-righteous, sweaty, swivel-eyed Guardiantistas are always like that. I could have typed 'THIS POST WILL MAKE YOU LOSE YOUR RAG AND YOU CANNOT HELP NUT REPLYING ANGRILY' and they still would have bitten.

And they will bite again. And have their nose tweaked.

[StraferJack]

Park drive is a guardianista??

I don't think so

[Loz]

Well, it is a bit of an assumption. But a lot of veggie nutters are Guardianistas.

[StraferJack]

Hmmm

[Mick Mac]

*Bob*

Always admired Bob. But where I think he got something completely wrong here (and unfortunately many people agreed with him) was in suggesting that the objection to fois gras was somehow linked to the class or wealth of the fois gras consumer.

Hence the fois gras supporters allow the thread to deviate into discussions on battery hens and fox hunting.

It's not that at all. It's a case of those eating fois gras being responsible for keeping alive an industry that knowingly and purposefully inflicts pain on an animal daily, with the aim of making that animal ill enough for you to enjoy its diseased liver.

For that, you should all be ashamed. (There is no get out clause available by reference to other animal mistreatments.)

Ha Ha, what Strafer said!

Mick, I think *bob* would probably agree with your point (not that I'm his spokeman), but I think the point he made was also a valid one.

[aquarius moon]

Don't worry Parkdrive, I'm used to my comments falling on deaf ears.

It's been happening for nearly 3 years.

But I won't give up!

Merry xmas

Incidentally, did you know that most battery eggs are now sold for use in ordinary baking products? The battery eggs campaigns were very successful, and comparatively few are now sold directly in supermarkets. However, they're sold instead to the makers of cakes and biscuits so unless you're absolutely sure of the source of the eggs used in your Rich Tea I'd hesitate before you apply the animal cruelty label to anyone else.

[Loz]

Oh dear, Moos, now even the veggies are in trouble. Looks like it's only the vegans who can say all their food is 'cruelty free'.

So no biscuits or cakes for the veggies. Unless they are a bunch of hypocrites.
