they refrain from killing, that's all. what's so difficult to
understand about that? once creatures exist, shedding their blood is a
specific act that has consequences. you can't go backwards to justify
it. living creatures deserve respect and good treatment, no matter what
reason they came into the world.

The only thing that the meat industry contributes to animals is
overpopulation, fear, suffering and pain. Causing more animals to be
born in order to torture them is not doing them a favor, but exploiting
them in the most disgusting way.

It's the complete opposite of what you claim. Meat consumers
contribute to the lives of livestock and their deaths, and the
deaths of wildlife. Vegans ONLY contribute to the deaths of
wildlife deliberately. They also contribute to the deaths of
livestock by their contributions to things made with animal
by-products, but they don't contribute to their lives as the
average consumer does, imo. So when we look at the big picture
vegans ONLY contribute to killing, they don't "refrain from
killing" at all.

Livestock are provided with such quite often, and I encourage
people to give that aspect of the situation the consideration it
deserves. Eliminationists oppose that suggestion because it works
against the elimination objective.
In contrast to providing millions of livestock with decent
lives of positive value, veganism only contributes to the
crushing, shreading, sophocating, maming, poisoning, drowning,
etc of wildlife.

>The only thing that the meat industry contributes to animals is
>overpopulation, fear, suffering and pain.

There is no excuse for livestock to endure enough fear and
suffering to make their lives of negative value, and I believe
the vast majority of them do not. And I KNOW your claim that it's
the "only thing the meat industry contributes to" is horribly
dishonest. You may honestly be ignorant enough to believe, but if
so you should be ashamed. You should be ashamed if you know it
not true as well, so either way you should be ashamed of yourself
for ever saying anything like that.

You are extremely ignorant, extremely dishonest, or most
likely a mixture of both. Some livestock have terrible lives and
some have decent lives, and unless you can learn to acknowledge
both you will never be able to make a distinction between when
they are good and when they are bad.

No. You *only* demand of people that they want livestock animals to exist.

You might be in the minority on this.
Anyhow we need to make it clear
whether we are talking about a species
or individual animals that already exist.
You are talking about the species, aren't you?

Your term "positive value" makes me want to throw up. You don't have
any right to use that terms with respect to animals. The fact that you
don't understand that makes you a sick kind of sociopath with respect to
animals. I won't try to explain it to you. And you won't think about
it after decades of stupidity justifying your own souless values.

It's not dishonest since I believe it's the truth. You don't even

You should be ashamed of trying to assess the "positive value" of lives
that you intend to violently take away. You're a true sociopath with
respect to animals. And it's only a small step from there to people.

There is no case for killing animals being a benefit to anyone but the
scavengers who feed off the meat. Any other justification is dishonest
and the intent is to sanitize the violence done to animals.

I'm correct about it. In news groups with a bunch of
eliminationists I'm not suprised that most if none of the
participants have any clue about it, making me in the minority
for being familiar with it, but it's true no matter how many
other people can't learn to comprehend much less appreciate it.

I'm talking about the animals who do exist, have existed, and
will exist if eliminationists are not successful at preventing
their existence. That would include billions of chickens, cattle,
swine, dogs, cats, horses, etc... Not "species" but the animals
who will be born, that eliminationists are trying to prevent.

Oh, and btw, vegans ONLY contribute to killing, where meat
consumers contribute to both life and death for livestock. Yes
they also contribute to the killing of wildlife as vegans do,
sometimes more and sometimes less, but they contribute to life
too unlike vegans.

Vegans ONLY contribute to death.

That's in part no doubt because you ONLY contribute to death
for wildlife, but never deliberately to lives of positive value
for any animals much less any livestock.

I contribute to what I consider to be lives of positive value
for chickens, cattle, turkeys, and possibly swine. Vegans in
contrast ONLY contribute to death for wildlife.

You should be ashamed not only for thinking that, but for

The vegans I've seen try to "sanitize" theirs have done it by
contemptibly denying their own contributions. That's very much
like being opposed to consideration of lives of positive value
for livestock because it's dishonesty with absolutely no regard
for the animals, but only for what vegans selfishly want to
believe even though it's a lie. You people are an insult to the
animals you prove you don't care about, and oppose consideration
of.

Well, as I have said before, you are clearly an imbecile. The fact that
you can't imagine a meat-eater who thinks you're a disgusting murderous
fascist *because of your ideas* shows your lack of both intelligence and
imagination. I just came from a restaurant where I ate and thoroughly
enjoyed a combo dinner of two beef dishes, a lamb dish and two different
kinds of lentils. The lentils were not meat, but some very tender
lentils were plucked before their time to make that dish.

As I said very sensibly I thought, I don't try to make believe that I am
helping animals by killing them. The fact that you do makes you a human
swine. It is one thing to kill for food, or eat the fruits of someone
else killing to produce food. That *can* be okay if the animals are
treated with respect and given a decent life. I am in favor of
free-range raising of animals, and do not accept any kind of
stall-living or physical abuse acceptable. But given the right
conditions - which we do not have at present in most places - I amnot
against eating meat and raising animals for meat.

But I am against your disgusting philosophy that we are doing the
animals a favor by raising them for food, because it "gives them the
opportunity to live." That is making believe you are a saint when you
are a mere selfish carnivore or scavenger and it is shameful.

You can think what you like based on my objection to your stupidity, but
the fact of the matter is, I am an omnivore and eat meat of some kind
every day.

If we create artificial intelligence life forms,

I never said that animals raised for food had worthless lives. I think
their lives are worth living if they are allowed to live under decent
conditions. What I think is obscene is the idea that bringing animals
into the world in order to kill them for meat is what *gives* animals'
lives positive value. It is a view that people who kill animals for
their own benefit and create an animal's life designed to end in blood
and usually fear are some kind of Saints for bringing the animals into
the world. That is a disgusting view. I think that if animals are
raised for food we can at least be morally uncertain about it, not smug
and self-congratulatory.

It's because it's a *bullshit* term, Goo. All it *means*, Goo is that
the animals exist:

"benefit from lives of positive value" is the experiences of life
a being encounters after "coming into existence".

Goo/Fuckwit Harrison - 12/30/2009
in "What If We Don't Raise Cattle To Eat Them?"

"experiences of life", Goo, is existence. You *said* it, Goo:

"lives of positive value" = existence.

That's exactly what's wrong with the (il)Logic of the Larder. Causing
the animals to exist is *not* doing them a favor. It's not doing
anything morally wrong, but it is not doing anything morally
praiseworthy for the animals, either.

Forget it - if you eat meat but oppose Fuckwit's obscene rationale for
doing so, he will call you a vegetarian and an "animal rights activist".
In fact, over the 11 years I've seen him trying to sell his stale
bullshit in alt.animals.ethics.vegetarian, not *ONE* other meat eater
ever accepted his fuckwitted rationale - not *ONE*. At best, they just
thought he was a useful idiot in the fight against the obscenity of
"animal rights"; more typically, they just told him he was nuts.

Whether or not their lives are worth living is irrelevant. They might
have wonderful lives, all of them, but that does not mean we have done
them a "favor" by causing them to exist.

to me it just comes down to either you
care enough about animals or you don't,
if you don't then fine. i don't care
about animals enough to believe all of
meat eating should stop myself. further
than that there are some sane positions
of the health or naturalness for us to
eat it on a biological level. i don't
in particular like looking UP to animals
for diet, but there is some rationality
in considering how wide spread it is in
the animal kingdom to eat other animals.
but to bring them into a meat farm for
their own benefit is just freakin nuts.

Exactly.

I think he must have thought, despite his admission a decade ago that he
is a high school dropout who does not do brain work to make a living,
that he was clever enough to make it stick. But I'm dead serious when I
said that over the years, all the other anti-"ar" people in this group
either told him he was nuts, or completely ignored him. He was not seen
as a real ally against "ar"; he was just a useful idiot who bothered
some of the "aras" a little, but not much - the vast majority of "aras"
simply ignored him, too. For the last seven or eight years, Fuckwit has
only been fighting with other antis who thinks he's a fool.

It doesn't. Fuckwit calls anyone who disputes his shitty, self-serving

"eliminationist", even if the person himself eats meat. That's the

Well I guess then that I'm just a vegetarian who happens to eat meat. I
eat vegetables too, so he's half right.

BTW, this discussion could become even more stupefying confusing by
discussing what has been done to vegetables and plants by modern
farming. Many hardy and protein-rich grains and vegetable varieties
have been forced into extinction by selective breeding, insecticides and
chemical fertilizers and factory farming of the hardiest, often least
nutritious, varieties. We tend to think that "wheat" for instance is one
thing, but even within Western wheat there are many varieties and then
there are high-protein wheats like kamut, the strongly nutritive
Ethiopian saple Keff and many others that we tend to ignore and if given
the chance, destroy. Animal rights are highly important, but the
destruction of vegetable species should not be ignored. When was the
last time you got a decent tomato from a grocery store? I used to get
really good ones all the time a couple of decades ago. All gone. If
not for organic farming, many more species of vegeables would be destroyed.

Best,
Robert

It's not a fitting comparison, oxtail, in fact it's obscene. Life in a

stay alive even though it is a horrific existence, at least up to a
point. But unless you are a survivor of a death camp or forced march
you are in no position to invoke the life-and-death struggle of death
camp victims. Maybe you should find ammunition for your point that is
more pertinent to your own understanding and less presumptuous.

At least with concentration camp or death camp victims,you can ask them
if it was worth it to stay alive under those conditions and how they
made such a choice. You can't ask animals, and so the proper thing to
do is take good care of them, and no put them in that position.

Your judgment of whether it is "worth it" is presumptuous and beside the

would tell you that they chose to live because they wanted to live, but
that it was *not* worth it. Try digesting that truthful contradiction.
People lived, but parts of themselves were lost forever, and often

>How do vegans kill animals

· Vegans contribute to the deaths of animals by their use of
wood and paper products, electricity, roads and all types of
buildings, their own diet, etc... just as everyone else does.
What they try to avoid are products which provide life
(and death) for farm animals, but even then they would have
to avoid the following items containing animal by-products
in order to be successful:

tires, paper, upholstery, floor waxes, glass, water
filters, rubber, fertilizer, antifreeze, ceramics, insecticides,
insulation, linoleum, plastic, textiles, blood factors, collagen,
heparin, insulin, solvents, biodegradable detergents, herbicides,
gelatin capsules, adhesive tape, laminated wood products,
plywood, paneling, wallpaper and wallpaper paste, cellophane
wrap and tape, abrasives, steel ball bearings

If someone actually refuses to consider the lives of the very

So you are either an inconsiderate pig or a veg*n of some sort,
or very likely both.

That's what farming is. This is the point where I wonder if

It DOES give all of them the opportunity to live. It does NOT
do all of them a favor. IF you can ever get that far, then MAYBE

Boasting of pure and absolute inconsideration for the lives
of animals you claim to eat makes me believe you must be an
extremely inconsiderate person, whether you ever eat any meat or
not.

The value of life you refuse to consider is for the animals
themselves, not the consumers. Oh, no, you people don't mind
considering their lives when you think they are horrible...in
fact you love doing that, but what you refuse to do is consider
when it's positive FOR THE ANIMALS. Of course from my pov that
makes you people seem disgusting.

Your obsession over things like that coupled with your
refusal to consider the lives of the animals we're discussing
makes me believe you must be some sort of veg*n, among other
things related to it.

No, Fuckwit - he criticizes you for *not* considering animals' welfare
at all.

You do not care about animal welfare, Goo:

It's not out of consideration for porcupines
that we don't raise them for food. It's because
they would be a pain in the ass to raise. We
don't raise cattle out of consideration for them
either, but because they're fairly easy to
raise.
Goo/Fuckwit David Harrison - Sep 26, 2005

I am not an extremist about it, and if I thought
that all of the animals I eat had terrible
lives, I would still eat meat. That is not
because I don't care about them at all, but I
would just ignore their suffering.
Goo/Fuckwit David Harrison - Nov 29, 1999

I would eat animals even if I thought that it was
cruel to them, and even if they gained nothing from
the deal. Is that what you want me to say? It is true.
But that doesn't mean that I can't still like the animals
also....

Meaningless. "Opportunity to live" is not a benefit to them, Fuckwit.

Goo lied to you. There were a number of people who agreed
with me and understood what I was referring to before I discussed
it with them. Other people never will. From what I remember
though it was always people who had/have experience around
livestock who appreciate what I'm saying, and rarely if ever
people who have had little or none. Oh and btw not only did some
people agree with me, but the Goober argued about it with some of
those who did. I remember one man who called himself Marl
specifically telling Goo that what I'm pointing out is so far
over his head he'll never be able to appreciate it, which has
held true for over a decade.

>> At best, they just

Goo lied to you again. There were two misnomer opponents who
told me they didn't agree with me, but they never gave any reason
why they didn't. One was Ward Clark and the other was Rick Etter.
There was another guy who acted veg*n to me, who gave a number of
reasons why he was opposed, the vast majority if not all of which
were eliminationist arguments and he said so himself.

>why does he need such a spaced out
>load of shit to justify eating it?

I don't need anything to justify it. I feel more mental guilt
over killing spiders than eating meat, though I kill hundreds of
them every year so they don't overun the place too much.

>why aren't the conventional arguments
>enough for him... pretty weird hey.

Why should whatever you think you're referring to be
"enough"? Do you shut your brain down about every issue in your
life when you think you've gotten "enough" out of it or
something? I was farther along with all this in grade school than
ANY eliminationist I've ever encountered is ever likely to get in
his whole life. I was beyond where you are--OBVIOUSLY--in grade
school because that's when I started hanging around on a dairy
farm and learned what life is like for dairy cattle. Later I
spent time on a number of different farms and learned more and
more, so from grade school on I was aware of what I've been
pointing out in these ngs, though I didn't put it all together
until about high school. Anyway, I did, and I coudn't "unlearn"
down to your level even if I tried. So no it's not "weird" that I
don't try to unlearn and somehow try to become as ignorant as the
people who can't appreciate what I'm pointing out to them, any
more than it is when you don't try to unlearn things you've been
aware of for the majority of your life.

No, Fuckwit, I did not. You have called *everyone* who has told you

Ward Clark and Rick Etter *both* told you that you are completely full

bullshit.

That's a lie, Fuckwit. Your entire fuckwitted spew here is nothing but
an attempt to justify your meat eating. You feel intense, deep guilt
over it.

I do have a son, Goo. He has a very good life, especially with a loving
and involved dad like me, but coming into existence was not a benefit to
him. Rather, the things I try to add to his life are benefits to him.

That's how it works, Goo.
