They also feel hunger, and if sheep ate meat they would gnaw you down to the fucking bone and shit out your remnants in a pasture.
People are capable of forming all sorts of bizarre and unhealthy emotional attachments. People live and die with Notre Dame football results, people idolitrize a couple of sticks knocked together, women stay with men who beat them, and people anthropomorphize food. None of this is to be encouraged.
You know what'd make a great reality TV show? Locking some PETA members in a room, with some caged animals and some cooking utensils. Then let the scent of various meaty meals waft into the room, and we can all lay bets on just when one of the PETA bods sends Larry the Lamb into a tasty afterlife.
Better yet, put PETA morons in a room with meat eating animals pipe in the smell of raw meat, sit back relax and enjoy the show/feast.
A few months ago Littleflow was accompanying me while taking cattle to the sale. We were leaving, having just dropped off a load of calves, and she asked the inevitable question, "Dad, what happens to the cows when we leave em at the sale?" "Well, someone else buys em, cuts em up, and we eat em in hamburgers." "Whaaaaa...... " "Yep, hamburgers and steaks. We also eat chickens, bacon is made of pigs. Where do you think lamb chops come from?" "Huh...." *pause* "Can we get a little lamb? We can eat it when it gets bigger!" "We sure can. We sure can...."
PETA is not a smart organization. Don't they realize kids learning where their meat comes from is a good thing? Then again, these are the same idiots that came up with sea kittens...
I posted that I was going to go get a yummy sea kitten sammich on my facebook status a few months ago. It was a bit...controversial.
Awww sounds just like my little pack of carnivores. INTEL, the 16 year old Ell Woods clone, wants to be a vet and is fantastic with animals. She has a gift I guess. When it comes to animals she has this to say: "I love animals, they are cute, and fluffy, and cuddly, and taste great!"
Yes, you most certainly do have an unhealthy emotional attachment to that emoticon and to more generally spewing mindless drivel. Acknowledging your problem is the first step in treating it. Congratulations! There's a difference between controversy and drummed-up faux outrage. If those folks wish to substitute a new phrase for "fish" then you are being uncontroversially kind to them by accommodating their choice. PETA folks are essentially the teabaggers of the left, minus the cable "news" network dedicated to mounting a propaganda campaign in favor of their legitimacy. They're just idiots looking for an excuse to be angry, with no real understanding of their own anger.
I think it's pretty cool that this school is teaching kids about this. I'm actually kind of interested what they're going to make the lamb into. I had some summer sausage made out of lamb and it was actually pretty good - and I normally would turn my nose up at pretty much everything but beef or bison.
Why'd they give it a name when they were going to slaughter it? And how stupid was that PETA "sea kittens" campaign? Didn't they realize that kittens taste better than fish?
To be honest it would be more interesting without the meaty scent. After a few years of not eating meat the smell of it is pretty unappetizing so all you would do is make them last longer.
MY cousin raises sheep. His kids name them and treat them as pets. One weekend he decided to kill and eat one of them who was named Jake. At dinner, his young son asked his father to "Please pass Jake." When the plate arrived, he took a big piece and chowed down. Even took seconds. So proud I was.
When it comes to this story is there more that we aren't being told in the articles, like the students were never told at the start that the animal they were rearing was going to be slaughtered?
My brother's favorite movie when he was three was "charlotte's Web," and adored Wilbur. So somehow, I got the idea that if I told him ham and bacon came from pigs, he'd enjoy more of it. That...didn't go well. Well, it was nice to eat his share of bacon and ham for the next year.
There are lots of things in this world that are Sokar's fault, but he does actually and surprisingly abide by the restraining order to stay at least 1000 feet from schools, so I doubt this is one of them.
