Threads like this seem to call for a little alcoholic support...

And to get back on topic - why is drinking the milk of other animals so unnatural while making bread out of milled grains isn't? I mean, no other animal does that, either.

To me, any argument for a cause which centers around what humans do as opposed to other animals is already a lost cause. Humans do many, many things that other animals don't.

As an additional point, humans also kill their prey much more humanely than any other animal does. One could maybe argue that no killing is 100% humane, but if you've ever seen a big cat take down its prey (or even a coyote taking down a rabbit or cat or whatever), there is absolutely nothing even remotely humane or painless about it. If I was sentenced to die and forced to choose between a modern slaughterhouse or being thrown to a hungry tiger or brown bear, I know without a moment's hesitation which I would choose.

Excellent observations! And the primary reason nature shows are prohibited at meal time in our house

You, apparently, never watched this. The youth these days!!

I had a wee bit of a crush on Jim Fowler.

I started to clean this thread up for the OP and attempt to get it back on topic, but found posts that needed to be removed all the way back to nearly the beginning. So I gave up and have just closed the darn thing. Please stay on-topic in existing threads, and refrain from attacking/insulting one another.
