I'm not the Pope. I don't speak Ex Cathedra!

That picture makes me want to be a vegetarian...

Just makes me hungry.

Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge.

Could be worse, could be a lobster.

What's wrong with Lobster?

If it's the old debate about whether they feel pain then:
A) Lobsters have no centralised nervous system, so all they do is react rather than feel, so no they don;t feel pain.
B) Lobster is very tasty, so i don't care.

You can have mine, then, I never have cared for lobster, or crab. Sometimes shrimp or prawns are okay. I prefer regular fish with my steak and potatoes.

I just don't like the fact lobsters are put alive in the cooking pot, could be that they don't feel any pain but still...

How do you feel about Ortolan, a traditional French dish where a bunting is force-fed millet seed, drowned in armagnac, lightly roasted and eaten whole.

Officially banned in France but still widely available because we know what they think of rules. (Which in a way i admire)

Not banned in Britain though. I urge everyone to try it at least once, it's fantastic!

It's like oysters. We also eat them while they're still alive, otherwise they're not fresh and not tasty. Or what they do to a goose, just to eat its liver. Horrible...

Oysters aren't very nice anyway, far too much iodine to be tasty. And Foie Gras is hideously expensive for what's actually a fairly mediocre Paté.
Those are my opinions, but unlike most animal rights compaigners, i accept that these are not sufficient reasons to call for an all-out ban, just because i don't like something. Many people do enjoy eating oysters and Fois Gras, and good luck to them.

It is up to you, if it bugs you to eat a bug then you should not partake of them. Then, it is well known that plants have nervous systems.

In the end, what can you eat to not hurt a living creature. It's practically impossible...

Fruitarian i think is the only diet that doesn't involve killing another organism.

But then that takes away the fruit from something else that could have eaten it, like a shrew or a bee, so it might indirectly cause the demise of another creature.

But then think about the fate of all the millions of micro-organisms obliterated every time you take a step.

Or the billions of bacteria slaughtered mercilessly when you brushed your teeth this morning.

Where does one draw the line?

Personally i look at animals from a 'them-or-me' perspective. And i'm the hungry one holding a frying pan. That puts me higher in the food chain.

That's a way to look at it. Kinda comforting too I guess.

My beef (forgive the pun) with Halal is just that it takes half the flavour away.

I've been to a halal chicken processing plant before and the chickens are stunned by an electric zapper before having their throats slit, so they're alive but not concious. It isn't quite as cruel as first appears.

I'm 100% with Julie & Lady L. I will not eat the following out of a matter of principle.

Foie Gras, Oysters, Lobster, Ortolan, Veal, Etc.

Or anything else that requires animals to live or be put to death in gruesome circumstances. Or end up on a plate half alive for the enjoyment of some particular types of people. I'm not a stone age cannibal and I won't behave like one. I have been gradually going Vegetarian over the last year, and I expect that to continue. I have also joined in protests at the widespread growth of Halal food in the UK, and I am also considering joining the Hunt Saboteurs Association.

Hear hear:)
