    Nah, I believe she saw it. I was just wondering if there was a market for baby pig meat that I wasn't aware of.

    Eh? Who says it's your burden?

    I already said it was completely within your rights to kill the animal, just that I personally think it's cold and heartless if there is another option. You think I'm not disgusted at the people who just abandon pets? You're mistaken.

    Ham is only good as part of an egg mcmuffin. :yes:

    Wait, is that really ham, or some sort of ham-like substance? :unsure:

    I can't speak for the mcmuffin, but this ham was cut off of a big ass ham Mrs cooked in the oven last night. It had a bone in it too. :diacanu:

    A pig fat swirl a day keeps the muslims away.

    So you're saying it's not normal for a growing child to eat nothing but cinnamon toast crunch and mac&cheese for months on end? :blush:

    I'm getting better though - I take my flintstones vitamin every single day now! :yes: *proud*

    Not to say I love liver now, I still have to drown it in A.1, but you teach a kid to gag down liver, then ham, steak, porkchops, and chicken legs will literally be like candy in comparison.

    My mom was in school and my stepdad worked 70-80 hours a week. I ate whatever I found that sounded good, and I paid for it by having to learn to eat right as an adult. I still have issues. I don't like most meat and most vegetables, and have to either suck it up and eat them anyway or find an alternative to the nutrients they provide. I'll never give up the candy corn, though. :mad: MINE!

    It doesn't really matter to me.

    I just want to people to be consistent.

    If you think it is okay to slaughter cows, pigs, fish, fowl, reptiles, etc... then don't get all outraged when folks in Korea warm up their dogs and cats for supper.

    I personally would lean more towards treating all animals humanely, as long as they are not threatening a human being.

    Can't say as I think animals have rights, but if anyone in my area was found to have been cruel to a pet of theirs, I'd work to ensure that he was so shunned around here that he'd have to drive 10 miles just to find somewhere that'd sell him anything, including groceries.
