Meat Meat Meat!!!

Doesn’t anyone care about Plant rights!

Plants are people too! Or would be if they had a central nervous system.

When was the last time you hugged a plant. Poison ivy need love too!!!


Seriously,
Vegetarians are simply choosing not to consume a product for what ever reason. Some believe so strongly that they may violate others rights in the process to enlighten non-vegetarians. Some people who are economically tied to the meat industry may also use extreme measures.

Several studies that have come out recently are supporting the Idea that animals raised in more natural environments eating more natural food (IE. grass vs grain for cattle) make for healthier food for humans. IE Less cruel treatment = more economic sense.


There was a news story about a dairy farmer who installed waterbeds for his cows. Apparently, the cows liked them. I don’t known if the cows produced more milk or higher quality milk.

In July 2001, the Heindel family built a barn on its 2,200-acre farm that came equipped with four robotic milkers, a 26-fan ventilation system, two cow back scratchers, about 280 cow waterbeds and two automatic scrapers that work to remove manure from the building.

The battle on behalf of the poor beleaguered laying hen has, over the past 30 years or so, been fought by the consumer with some passion and, if not won, then at least fairly honourably drawn. Free-range eggs (as opposed to battery eggs laid by hens in tiny cages), now account for about 50 per cent of all UK egg sales to the public
