Members of this board, particularly Reeves, completely eviscerated your arguments on that thread, Dr. Yates. And you really embarrassed yourself with your insinuation that a natural fear or pain reaction is the same thing as making a moral claim. Denial is not a river in Egypt, Roger. Oooo, denial jokes, I like...

Paraphrasing does not mean to completely make up something that is not true. In light of what the article did state., paraphrase could read "bull fighting ban vote to be held," and certainly not that a bull fighting ban had been passed. Good suggestion...

animal-friendly wrote: sevendogs wrote: This is amazing. However, the fact is that certain African communities kill chimps for meat.. Chimps kill monkeys for meat as well. Mourning is one thing, but empty stomach sometimes can overrule mourning emotions. What do you find amazing? That chimps feel sorrow? Well, I guess if you have never considered the emotional lives of animals, it could seem amazing. But I don't understand what chimp...

Can you imagine Christmas without ham, tasty cheese, sausages, eggs and honey in what you eat? Vegan's world is bleak and dull. Not if you have a good cook book. Actually SD, vegetarian eating is very satisfying. Culinary delights await you if you are brave enough to wade...

animal-friendly wrote: Grizzly Bear wrote: Once again, animal-friendly engages in blatant intellectual dishonesty. The title of your thread, AF, is a flat-out falsehood. It has not yet been banned. That is clear from the article. This is why you have ZERO credibility anymore. Take it up with the journalists. As for ZERO credibility, I think you are quite wrong. I know exactly where my heart is and when people speak from their hearts, there is...

animallover wrote: animal-friendly wrote: Yes, I read it and I paraphrased the heading which the journalist gave to the article. The article is about the majority voting on making bullfighting in Catalan a thing of the past. Although there are some who would call it an "art" and would defend it with the reasoning of "culture" and "tradition" , the popular sentiment amongst the public is...

"You have in mind Q&A 12?" Yes, given the intentionality (not "accidental") of animal harm in the course of vegan crop agriculture. Also, given the knowledge that vegan consumers have of animal harm in their vegan products but continue to consume them, thereby endorsing (however reluctantly) the method of production and increasing the demand for that product, and therefore, causing more animal harm...

I was being facetious, Animal friendly. Though, if you think about it; the clear-sightedness displayed in Maine in contrast to events in Catalan may say volumes about the two locations..... Bull-fighting has pitifully little interest to me as entertainment but as long as it's Catalans deciding for themselves what they wish to do; it's ok with me. It's when outsiders start wishing to decide how Catalans lives should be run things...

not sure I would want to start eating dogs to cull them out, but I think you have a good point. over selecting for a few 'desired' traits leaves dog breeds open to other problems..not just dogs either. I am reading Temple Grandin's 'Animals in Translation' and its a real eye opener to how we accidentally affect animal behaviours through breeding programs that over select for specific desired traits...
