That's sarcasm, Dreck. Consider elsewhere in the same thread when I wrote:
I'm not taking Harrison's position in this. I'm only going as far as
saying that slaughterhouses aren't the only "travesty" animals face. I'm
all for lions stalking and hunting -- makes for good tv on Discovery and
National Geographic.

And:
Unlike misanthropes like you and your little hare-brained friend Lesley,
I accept the role we and other animals play in nature. Ruminants are
food -- whether for our species or others. That's their main purpose in
an ecosystem: to convert plant matter into protein and to be eaten.

And (to you, fatso):
You should careful lest you start agreeing again with your buddy Lotus,
whose anthropomorphisms range from the mildly amusing to the doubled
over in near-fatal laughter, and engaging in anthropomorphic projections
yourself:
I myself give these rights to any animal in
my presence. Why can I not feel aggressive
toward anyone who flouts these rights?

Nothing in that even implies that I think either slaughterhouses or large cats
are cruel.
