What do you think about who makes violence on the animals?

[BuffyFan]

Sorry.
If science can slice up an animal to find a cure to anything I say do it.
If man didn't kill the mammoth for fur,they'd be dead.
So if killing a few minks makes a fur coat so be it. They don't add anything to the animal kingdom any way.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I rather read the initial question as one regarding cruelty to animals... which I'd hope most here are against...

There is a HUGE difference between killing animals for survival or trying to find a cure and killing or torturing animals because 'Buffy' needs a fancy fur coat. 'Buffy' can choke on her caviaar.

on the subject of fur i have to say if the mink have been ethicly farmed and killed i don't see what the problem is, i don't agree with animal cruelty or hunting for fun, or the killing of any indangered species for any reason. but if someone is happy to eat meat or wear leather from one kind of farmed animal i don't see how they can have a problem woth fur.

I tend to agree with the basics of your statement here. The issue is exactly "ethicly farmed", as you mention. And that applies to every aspect also animals raised for the clothing industry.

I only approve killing animals for 2 reasons
1)Survival as in food or for clothing(They usually go hand in hand)
2)For the good of people(such as a rabid or pissed off animal on a rampage or for finding a cure for life threatening ailments)

Anything other than that such as killing an animal for your own gratification only proves that you are a sick fuck who needs to be taken off of gods green earth.

I hunt deer and pheasants. My Father hunted and I pass the traditions down to my sons. We eat what we harvest. Anyone who eats meat or wears leather is just having someone else do the dirty work for them. We find joy and excitement in the hunt as our ancesters did. We love getting back to nature and being out in the woods away from the rat race of society. I dont see why some people think it's ok to eat a farm raised animal but not harvest a wild one. Mankind has been a hunter since we first walked in a bipedal fashion. We are meant to be omnivores not herbivores. If some people cant understand it well I doubt if I can change your mind.

No violence on animals - any crimemaker has to be in a prison!

I have been a vegetarian since I was 15. It is a strictly personal decision based on the fact I could not actually bring myself to kill the animal I was eating. I grew up on a farm and was literally devastated when I figured out that the animals we raised were food - Every spring I'd go out and give each of the new calves a name and they were like pets. So when I was 12 and old enough to help out with the slaughter it was like I was killing my friends. By 15 I simply couldn't bring myself to eat meat.

All that said, I have no issue with others eating meat. It makes dinner complicated in relationships with non-vegetarians *shrug*

I don't think my statement was in any way a criticism of people who hunt. It was certainly not intented to be. As long as the same ethical rules apply I cannot find any thing what so ever morally wrong with hunting or fishing.

On my birthday two years ago I hit a deer in my car, right at dusk, curving down a hill. Two images in my head, one was the deer looking at me eye to eye, with the headlight shining up onto it's head, like a perfect photo of death, then, hooves upside down flying away from my car. It happened so quick, just a THUD and that frozen picture of a deer's head out of nowhere.
I grunted a little reaction right afterward, but to be honest, the car didn't swerve, there was nothing I could do, and it was more of a mental shock than a spiritual one.
I am middle of the road on hunting, medical experiments, rats, and hamburgers. In China they eat dogs, my sister has spent like $3,000 on her cat! (medical bills) But in general, anyone who is cruel to animals is sick. Like Jeffrey Dahmer sick.
