Vegan (alt.food.vegan) This newsgroup exists to share ideas and issues of concern among vegans. We are always happy to share our recipes- perhaps especially with omnivores who are simply curious- or even better, accomodating a vegan guest for a meal! |

It's fine with me if that's what they want to do. But aren't they killing other animals to make the pet food? No. ============ Uh, yes. There is no manufacturing process that doesn't kill animals. They render animal parts from critters that were already killed for other purposes, like human consumption. ===================== Then there are animals killed for pet food. They live and die to provide food for humans. Thanks for admitting your ly. She appears far from a lying veg*n. If whoever wants to provide food for pets can't get it without raising animals just to feed pets, then they probably must resort to raising animals just to feed pets. But don't you believe that most pet food is by-products from animals raised to feed humans? There are few animals raised just to feed pets afaik...some rodents to feed reptiles, and that's all I can think of. There are probably fish raised to feed turtles and fish I guess. But most pet food is by-products of human food. So "AR" would pretty much have to eliminate dogs and cats, unless people would *then* raise animals just to feed them. |

The following can be done with no animals slaughtered: Iron Smelting. Blacksmithing. Pottery. Glassblowing. Of course, depends on if you mean cute furry anomals like Cows, or any member of the animal kingdon. A variety of natural textiles can be made with the only losses being invertibrates. ....Brock.

Silicon foundaries are even less likely to have animal products involved.

Hmmm, so, like other Jains, you walk prayerfully acorss the landscape, stooped over using a feather to brush the tiniest insects out of each footprint space before advancing your foot? ============================ LOL You have a real comprehension problem don't you? I don't care that animals die for my modern conveniences. I just don't pretend, like vegans do, that by avoiding meat that I somehow make a difference. If killing animals unnecessarily were a concern to me, I wouldn't be here on usenet, now would I? Or do you presuime to think that usenet doesn't contribute to the deaths of animals either? Again, there are no processes that use power, mining, and other human activities that do not kill animals. Why is that so hard for you to understand? Just because animals are not used in the "process" of what you're are talking about doesn't mean that none died from the actiuons that allow that process to occur. Just because animals are not in the final product does not mean that no animals died in the production process. Of course, depends on if you mean cute furry anomals like Cows, or any member of the animal kingdon. Why do only cows matter? Seems that that is all that veg*n loons like to focus on, is that why you are, despite your claim below? People have a tendancy to think of "The Poor Animals" and mean attractive members of the mammalia. ======================== Again, you really haven't been readuing what I post, have you? that's been my point about vegans forever. They focus only on the animals they think others are killing, and ignore the massive deaths they cause. They are the ones that focus on the cute moon-eyed cows and cuddly sheep, not me. They care nothing about the other manmmals, birds, reptiles, fish or amphibians that die to produce their food and their modern lifestyle. Actually the lunatics are very Jain about it all and bicth about even the deaths of micro-organisms... ====================== Not usenet vegans, except for an insane search for itty-bitty parts in products. They care only about the animals they think others are killing. They completely ignore their own bloody footprints. ...Brock. (My immune system kills millions of living things each day) |

Actually the lunatics are very Jain about it all and bicth about even the deaths of micro-organisms... I point out to them that: · From the life and death of a thousand pound grass raised steer and whatever he happens to kill during his life, people get over 500 pounds of human consumable meat...that's well over 500 servings of meat. From a grass raised dairy cow people get thousands of dairy servings. Due to the influence of farm machinery, and *icides, and in the case of rice the flooding and draining of fields, one serving of soy or rice based product is likely to involve more animal deaths than hundreds of servings derived from grass raised animals. Grass raised animal products contribute to fewer wildlife deaths, better wildlife habitat, and better lives for livestock than soy or rice products. · but they not only don't care about such things, they usually if not always deny the truth of it. They care MUCH more about promoting veg*nism than they could ever care about human influence on animals, that much they have shown....ever one of them that I've encountered. |
