Historical content.

You're about as right on that as you are on my name and address. Soooo
clueless.

I haven't been reading the group as of late, but from the comments to
your post I assume folks have tagged you as a troll.

Nonetheless, this is an interesting topic for this newsgroup. The
quote in the article that points out the differences in practices in
different cultures is interesting -

"The Christian pities the Jew and the Mussulman [Muslim], because they
hold pork in abhorrence, and yet the Christian repulses the notion of
touching horse-flesh. The Hindoo has an equal horror of beef. Mutton
is by no means a cosmopolitan dish. ... The Russians still abstain
from pigeon ... the Italians hold the rabbit in aversion. ... The
French eat on a small scale frogs, and on a large scale snails ...
which would be rejected by the English labourer, even if starving."

I was just sitting on my front steps having a cigarette, and a cute
bunny hopped up in front of me. My first reaction was "aww, a cute
bunny", and the second was "you are food".

If other cultures prefer cat or dog flesh, then I won't scream and
holler. I enjoy beef, which an Indian would possibly object to. The
whole point, I think, is that whether you eat beef, pork, cat, dog,
rabbit, you should at least humanely slaughter the animal. Tossing a
lobster in boiling water is a different thing (they're basically
insects) than tossing a live kitten in boiling water.

Very interesting stuff. Sad, but this is the reality of living in a
world of 8 billion people.

Also - I've been monitoring a feral cat colony (one of many) near our
house. I've called a local nonprofit that sends a van out to "fix and
release" cats from feral colonies.

Though cats are wonderful and rewarding companions, their life in the
wild is often really hard. My father-in-law, who doesn't particularly
like cats though he loves all animals, lives in rural Indiana. He
tries to protect his own feral colony ("barn-cats"), but the coyotes
have moved in - and to a coyote, cat is a delicacy.

I saw one of my own cats torn to pieces by a pair of roving pitbulls.
As much anguish that we have when we have to take a sick or elderly
cat for euthanasia, nature is far more cruel.

Cats are eaten by coyotes and rogue pitbulls. That they're also eaten
by homo sapiens is more of the same. Goats, pigs and cows are also
kept as pets. If someone else wants to eat them, that's fine with me,
but at least slaughter them humanely.

I've found that posting after a few cocktails makes one's language
unintelligible.

Sure, he/she's a troll. But this is a legitimate topic to discuss. We
have kitties in our house - the hindis have cows walking through their
houses. At some point we need to recognize that humans are omnivores -
no value judgement there, that's just what evolution has given us. And
if we eat meat - what meat? That's a good question.

Tuna seem pretty insensate to me. But I'm sure there's someone who
feels that tuna are noble fish with hopes and dreams - and we
shouldn't dispatch them for a tasty snack.

It's a debate animal-lovers should have. If you eat flesh, it means
something dies. Because we're cat-lovers, does that mean we are
morally bound to be vegetarians?
