I don't know enough about how commercial fur bearing animals are raised to
have an opinion about whether or not the majority of them appear to benefit from
lives of positive value. But I do know that extremists who don't believe any
domestic animals should exist, necessarily CAN NOT develop a realistic
interpretation regarding when they do and when they don't. No doubt some of them
DO. That's just a basic part of it all, but eliminationists can't even get that
"far". Since they can't get even to such a basic fact as that, they're certainly
not capable of developing a respectable interpretation of which ones have decent
lives that are worth living and which ones don't.

PeTA encourages and helps terrorists. I'd like to point out that we never
hear of real animal welfare people doing terrorist actions, but only
eliminationists. Also real animal welfare people would never release animals
from fur farms because they know and care about the fact that not only would the
majority of them suffer a terrible death, but also that the small percentage of
them that survive would cause suffering and death for local wildlife and
domestic animals. Eliminationists are probably too stupid to appreciate, and ARE
necessarily too inconsiderate to care about such results from their actions.

>Any questions, buddy?

Eliminationist terrorism against medical research causes MORE suffering, not
less. Of course it causes the deliberately caused suffering to researchers who
devote their lives to finding ways of reducing and relieving suffering for
humans and other animals. It also causes more suffering to research animals,
since tests need to be re-done and more animals need to be tested. It also
causes more suffering in the future due to delays in progress which result in
more suffering for countless sick humans and other animals in the future as a
result of the delays. In case you're in favor of PeTA championing such
terrorism, here are some more things you should try to take into consideration:
_________________________________________________________
If scientists could replace animal research and testing
with methods which did not need to use animals then
they would.
There are several reasons for this:
* Scientists do not like or want to use animals in research.
Like the vast majority of people they do not want to see animals
suffer unnecessarily. In fact less than 10% of biomedical research
uses animals. Unfortunately for much of the work involved in
biomedical research there are as yet no working alternative
techniques that would allow us to stop using animals.
* Biomedical research is producing thousands of new compounds,
which may have potential as new drugs. It is much more efficient to
screen these compounds using rapid non-animal techniques to test
their effectiveness and toxicity.
* The very high standards of animal welfare and care required of
British research establishments are a contributory factor in making
animal research very expensive. If scientists can develop alternatives
to using animals it will allow them to divert their limited research funds
to other areas of research.

We live longer and healthier lives than ever before. Animal research has
improved the treatment of infections, helped with immunisation, improved
cancer treatment and had a big impact on managing heart disease, brain
disorders, arthritis and transplantation. My own field, the prevention of
genetic disorders in babies, has been possible only because of humane
work on animals.

Animal rights activists talk about cruelty and torture, some backing their
assertions by publishing out-of-date photographs of "experiments"
banned long ago. This is a misrepresentation.
...

Some so-called anti-vivisection organisations would have people believe
that animal research does not work. This is simply a lie. Animals do not
give information that is 100% accurate when applied to humans, but they
do provide invaluable information that cannot be replaced by computer
modelling, cell culture or human experimentation. Mice have virtually the
same genes as humans, which is why they are so useful for exploring
human physiology.

Animal research has contributed to 70% of the Nobel prizes for physiology
or medicine; many award-winning scientists say that they could not have
made their discoveries without animals. Polio would still be claiming hundreds
of lives a year in Britain if it wasn't for animal research by the Nobel
laureate
Albert Sabin. "There could have been no oral polio vaccine without the use
of innumerable animals," he once said."
...

The last big drug disaster in the UK happened because of a lack of animal
research. Four decades ago, when thalidomide's awful effects were revealed,
the drug was returned to the lab to be tested on pregnant animals for the first
time. Birth defects were quickly seen in mice and rabbits. This prompted an
overhaul of the legislation and is the basis for our laws on drug development.

In aaev I believe there are a couple of posters who are eliminationists
poorly pretending to be AW supporters because they're aware that most people do
not respect eliminationists who have for far too long gotten away with masking
their true objective behind the gross misnomer "animal rights". It's disgusting
and insulting to the very idea of animal welfare when groups like PeTA are
referred to as animal welfare organizations. They are NOT!!! Goo who is now
pretending to be "George" and his boy "Dutch" both appear to be missnomer
addicts from my pov, but are dishonestly pretending to be in favor of AW in the
hopes of not losing respect for being the eliminationist morons they really are.

My guess is they say whatever they think will get people to go to their
website, and then they can try to manipulate their thinking any ways they can
from there. They like to target children because if they can trick people into
believing that elimination is the most ethically possible approach humans can
take while they're still young and easier to influence, after the poor kids have
put their faith in that for a while they will develop cognitive dissonance which
will cause them to want to dismiss anything that suggests something else could
be ethically equivalent or superior. For example providing decent lives of
positive value for billions of domestic animals could be considered ethically
equivalent or superior to the complete elimination of domestic animals, but
after people have put their faith in elimination being ethically supreme their
congnitive dissonance will work to prevent them from ever considering that any
other approach could be better.

One of the misnomer addicts in aaev claims to have a PhD in math, yet also
claims he doesn't:

"believe the distinction between "lives of positive value" and
"lives of negative value" means anything."

Could anyone who is honestly that clueless about such a basic aspect of life
still be capable of obtaining a PhD? I don't see how, since we discussed that
aspect in fifth or sixth grade regarding slavery in the United States, and none
of the kids in the class had any problem with it. If any kids in the school
would have had a problem with it they were probably in special ed, and it's hard
to believe any of the special ed kids went on to obtain PhDs...

Absolutely it is. Eliminationists hate it when people do anything that
encourages appreciating lives of positive value for domestic animals, livestock
in particular. They're maniacally opposed to the suggestion that the animals'
lives be given as much or more consideration than their deaths. And imo it's not
because they are unaware that millions of livestock animals already experience
decent lives only because they're raised for food, but they don't want people in
general to appreciate that aspect of human influence on animals because it works
against the elimination objective. If they honestly cared about providing decent
lives for livestock they would encourage people to buy products that contribute
to them, but notice that they NEVER do that...or at least I've never heard of
them doing it.

>> > > > > > PETA is PETA,

Notice they use the lower case e in PeTA. I believe it's good to represent
it that way. It was probably by mistake somehow on their part since honesty is
not something they appear to care much about, but since they don't want domestic
animals to exist at all it's almost an honest gesture for "ethical" to be lower
case since they don't want potential future domestic animals treated ethically,
or to ever experience any sort of life at all. Really to be most honest about
their own personal misnomer that organization should probably present it as:
PetA. A good way to represent those people in general is:

pEda - people for the EXTINCTION of domestic animals

>> > > > > > and they're morons all the

>> > > > > > down to the bone.

They feel that they're at war, and will do whatever they can think of to try
to eliminate domestic animals. They also support eliminationist terrorism. They
are the enemy of domestic animals since they want to eliminate them from my pov,
and they are also an enemy of the human race. What about wildlife? If you think
it's better for wildlife to overpopulate areas to the point of causing
starvation and disease, along with getting hit by vehicles etc, then they're not
an enemy to wildlife. But if you think human hunting is more humane than
starvation and disease, and even non-human predators, then you could view
eliminationists as being an enemy to wildlife as well as to all domestic animals
and the human race. Maybe it's no wonder they target children when that's all
they really have to "offer"...

You don't know *anything* about how they're raised, *Goo*.

But one thing we *DO* know is that existence - "getting to experience
life" - is not a benefit for them. It isn't because it *cannot* be, by
definition.

The gist of it is that some animals domesticate better than other
animals, i.e. not necessarily in theory but only in fact. All animals
are individuals first just like people are individuals first. Thus a
friendly mountain lion might make a better house cat than an unfriendly
tabby, albeit that is unlikely on account of the cougar's tremendous
appetite, size, and natural inclination to be out in the forest hidden
from anything they aren't intent on killing and eating. Even so, that
doesn't mean that a lonesome cougar couldn't befriend a human who was
willing to make friends with a big, long, wild, tawny, cat. Stranger
friendships have developed in this world, "Ligers" for example. The
hard part would be keeping them well-fed and well out of trouble. Such
normally self-sufficient creatures belong in the open wild habitats
into which they were born, and never under human influence or control.
It is good in some cases where wild animals in need of help are helped
by humans to wildlife refuges and so forth, but that should always
remain the exception and never the rule. All life wants to be free.

Typically smaller domesticated cats are different from wildcats in
that they don't have to hunt and kill for food. Common house cats
are usually spoiled by the humans who feed and care for them, and so
they are more inclined to revert to their natural instinct to hunt but
from a more relaxed and playful state, not intent on killing and eating
thus more apt to injure their hapless prey to the point of suffering
that raises the ire of the likes of PETA advocates ad nauseam.

It could be that the domestication of cats is more man's fault than
that of the previously undomesticated wild cats. Foxes are a fine
example of wild animals that are more than willing to be domesticated
and move in as if they were an accepted member of our family. But we
humans understand that allowing a fox to cross that barrier into our
homes would do far more harm than good to the fox. Wild animals must
remain wild not so much for their own survival, but for the long-term
survival and adaptation of their species. Tough love, so to speak.

AFAICT human intervention in nature almost always does more harm than
good. Humans may mean well, but nature is obviously a lot smarter
than humans could ever be, and nature will outlast us all. Why fight
against that which is invincible? All arguments pro or con regarding
animals or nature is in vain. Nature always gets the last word.

As far as ethics goes, survival of the fittest, including brute force,
is all that is real. Everything else is a lie. In the jungle, it's
kill or be killed. Watch some episodes of 'Big Cat Diary' on Animal
Planet and check out what life is like in the real world of big wild
cats. Relative to them, humans are just weak, spoiled, lazy brats.

I've often pointed out that we don't raise porcupines for food because it
would be impractical..

> All life wants to be free.

· The meat industry includes habitats in which a small
variety of animals are raised. The animals in those
habitats, as those in any other, are completely dependant
on them to not only sustain their lives, but they also
depend on them to provide the pairing of sperm and egg
that begins their particular existence. Those animals will
only live if people continue to raise them for food.

Animals that are born to other groups--such as wild
animals, pets, performing animals, etc.--are completely
different groups of animals. Regardless of how many or few
animals are born to these other groups, the billions of animals
which are raised for food will always be dependant on consumers
for their existence. ·

Those that are raised by humans only live because they're raised by humans
and regardless of what happens to different wild foxes. The question is NOT
whether it would be better for "them" to be raised by humans or wild, but the
question is whether it would be better for them to be raised by humans or to
never exist at all.
. . .
>All arguments pro or con regarding

The question is whether it's better to be raised by humans or never exist at
all, regardless of what happens to wild foxes. To wild foxes it matters no more
what happens to human raised foxes, than it matters to wild wolves what happens
to domestic poodles.

>Nature always gets the last word.

That would only be true if humans have never caused any animals to become
extinct, but there's strong evidence that they have.

>As far as ethics goes, survival of the fittest, including brute force,

No it's not. Many animals are raised for reasons other than their brute
force.

That doesn't matter as long as we control them instead of the other way
around since humans can manipulate their environment better than any other
creatures we know of. And btw wild big cats don't have anything to do with
domestic small ones either. You're trying to encourage the idea that things have
something to do with each other when they don't. Were you honestly unaware of
that? Or were you already aware of it but hoping that I wasn't, and if so what
if you could have persuaded me to believe you had a significant point? Are you
an eliminationist?

The total elimination of domestic animals is what those type of people want.
The difference between animal welfare organizations and eliminationists who hide
their true objective behind the gross misnomer "animal rights" IS the animals.
AW means decent lives for billions of domestic animals and the misnomer means no
domestic animals at all. So what are eliminationists good for? For wildlife?
Only if you don't have confidence in forestry services having better opinions
about hunting regulations than people who want to see the complete elimination
of domestic animals, and who ignorantly can't comprehend any benefits to human
hunting.

>It's an acronym--you can look it up.

What they want people to mistakenly believe is that they want to encourage
the ethical treatment of all animals including domestic animals, and they tell
us it means: people for the ethical treatment of animals. But! Notice that PeTA
uses the lower case e. That might be a weird coincidence because it's hard to
believe they would be honest enough to do it deliberately as a reminder that
they do NOT!!! want to provide ethical treatment for domestic animals. They want
to eliminate them not provide ethical treatment, but it's hard to believe
they're deliberately being honest enough to give us a reminder. They probably
just think it looks good.The following would be about as honest as they could
get If they were to try being honest:

We know that's all they have to "offer" Gootsy, and we know it's literally
nothing in regards to domestic animals. Nothing is specifically what they have
to "offer" "them", Goob. We know it, and everyone should know it and keep that
aspect foremost in mind since it's a hugely significant aspect of human
influence on animals. They try to pretend they have something to offer Goo, but
a normal grown person can quickly figure out that they offer nothing if they're
willing to think it through for a few seconds. But children might not be able to
think it through and that's what eliminationists are hoping, and that's why they
target children, Goo.

Me too. Look, you seem sincere, but you're just behind the curve.
Killing things is never going to be the right answer. As society
evolves, this will become more and more evident. At this point in time,
we are dealing with shitheads that think that gun legislation is some
sort of violation to them. After we've gotten past the point where we
are able to act on how wrong it is to shoot Congress people and kill
children, we will eventually turn to animals and the environment. It's
inevitable. PETA are thought of as extremists now, even though they
aren't but then people think gun legislation means "their guns are going
to be taken from them." It's just ignorance. Even if you mean well,
you just represent an ignorant point of view. Every time I go into the
grocery store, the vegetarian items are being bought out faster. Again,
it's inevitable.

This isn't about that. You know what? Every time I tell someone that
I'm a vegetarian they avert their eyes as if they are guilty of
something. Every time. That's what this is about: guilt.

You're ridiculous. Look up "factory farms" and get back to me. One
time I was in Moline, IL and I was driving behind a truck full of pigs
headed for the slaughter house. Pigs are smarter than dogs--they knew
they were going to die. It was one of the most disgusting things I've
ever experienced. There is nothing ethical or humane about any of that
shit. Again you are just behind the curve.


So what are eliminationists good for? For wildlife?


I have no idea what an "eliminationist" is, but I doubt it means much in
the grand scheme of things. If it helps get you through the night, it's
alright as John Lennon said.

I'm going to help you here. He - Fuckwit David Harrison, who just began
posting at <chortle> 'Lu@Lu' <snicker> - is anything *BUT* sincere.

Fuckwit hates "animal rights" and "animal rights activists", because the
theory and its adherents don't want him to eat meat - they claim it
violates the "rights" of animals to be raised for human food - and
Fuckwit wants to eat meat.

Before continuing, I will tell you that I do *not* believe in "ar". I
think it's incoherent and ethically bankrupt. I eat meat and I consume
other animal-derived products, and I see no ethical problem with it; any
ethics problems involved in the human use of animals have to do with
animal welfare, not with the use of animals /per se/. Fuckwit comically
insists I'm some kind of "'ar' mole" masquerading as an anti-"ar"
advocate, but he knows better, and everyone who has participated here in
the last 14 years knows better as well.

Fuckwit shambled into alt.animals.ethics.vegetarian 14 years ago -
February or March, 1999 - and thought he had found the "killer argument"
to demolish "ar". He says that because "aras" want to put a stop to
livestock animal farming, there won't be any animals left with rights to
protect, and so they can't really be in favor of animal rights. But he
goes farther. He says that by favoring the elimination of livestock
animals, "aras" are "denying life" to animals that otherwise would have
lived. Fuckwit considers that a great moral crime - he claims to
believe that animals coming into existence and "getting to experience
life" is a good thing to the animals in and of itself, and that by
favoring the elimination of livestock animals, "aras" are committing a
great moral crime against those animals that would have got to live and
"get to experience life."

When he first started blabbering about this, Fuckwit thought he had come
upon *THE* argument against "ar", although he didn't think it up
himself; someone fed it to him. What he didn't know is that the
argument had been demolished a century (at least) earlier. An English
philosopher, essayist and vegetarian named Henry Salt wrote an essay
called "The Logic of the Larder" in which he completely destroyed the
sophism that the meat eater "benefits" the animals he eats by giving
them the "gift of life." You can read it here:
http://www.animal-rights-library.com/texts-c/salt02.htm. It's a very
elegant essay.

Fuckwit has never understood the (incoherent, in my opinion) argument
against the human use of animals, which is why he never has even
attempted to attack it head on. Instead, for 14 years he has been
trying to attack it with his own counterargument that is itself
incoherent, wrong and was demolished a century ago. When he has
attempted to buttress it with his own <chortle> "original thinking", it
has been a complete hash - a dog's breakfast. After I post this, I will
repost "FAQ: Fuckwit's Beliefs." This will make manifestly clear that
Fuckwit is a confused, incompetent, incoherent, dishonest and above all
insincere critic of "ar".

You really think that we're going to get to the point where you're going
to be able to outlaw people owning and keeping dogs and cats? I'm not
surprised you're in favor of such nonsense, but even you can't possibly
be so stupid to believe it's ever going to be a tenable political
position.

"aras" do not advocate the extinction of companion animals. They want
to redefine the relationship between humans and companion animals,
specifically, to say that such animals cannot be property.

That doesn't follow. Children aren't property, and there are laws
mandating adequate care for children. Penalties are imposed for
violating the law regarding care for children.

I don't buy the "ar" view that domestic animals ought not be property.
I think their status as property works just fine. I only brought it up
in the context of refuting the claim that "aras" want to eliminate
household pets. They do not.

AVMA POLICY ON ANIMAL WELFARE AND ANIMAL RIGHTS

Animal welfare is a human responsibility that encompasses all aspects of animal
well being, including proper housing, management, nutrition, disease prevention
and treatment, responsible care, humane handling, and, when necessary, humane
euthanasia.

Animal rights is a philosophical view and personal value characterized by
statements by various animal rights groups. Animal welfare and animal rights are
not synonymous terms. The AVMA wholeheartedly endorses and adopts promotion of
animal welfare as official policy; however, the AVMA cannot endorse the
philosophical views and personal values of animal rights advocates when they are
incompatible with the responsible use of animals for human purposes, such as
companionship, food, fiber, and research conducted for the benefit of both
humans and animals.

Eventually meat and other products we get from animals will be produced
without the use of animals imo, so one question is whether or not that would be
better, and if so for what. From the animals' position it's a matter of whether
or not life is worth living for each individual. In some cases it is and in some
cases it's not, but you may not be able to get that far with it. Some can't,
even though THAT is the most basic aspect of the whole thing in regards to the
true ethics of it, imo. Since I believe the majority of farmed animals DO have
lives which are of positive value to them, it doesn't seem like an ethical
improvement to do away with them.

That's worse, not better from my pov. From the pov of someone who
understands and appreciates that millions of animals experience decent lives
because of being raised for food, people who can't appreciate it are ignorant
and slowing things down. My guess is that the true veg*n minded person is one
who has always hated to eat his meat, and when he got a change stopped doing it.
Whether he believed it or not to begin with, he probably at some point begins to
believe there's something positive about it in regards to farm animals. The
truth is that veg*nism does NOTHING to benefit any farm animals, so if someone
wants to contribute to decent lives for livestock with their lifestyle they need
to be a conscientious consumer of animal products, NOT a vegan! At this point
I'd like to encourage everyone reading to buy cage free eggs, even if you don't
eat them, in order to support that far more animal friendly way of raising
laying hens.

>Again, it's inevitable.

It slows things down imo...LOL...but then what can we expect from something
that wants to bring those things to a dead stop? I'd like to see ALL animals
raised for food have lives of positive value, which is the complete opposite of
eliminating them. I'd like to see more animal friendly products in super
markets, instead of ONLY vegetarian crap that doesn't do any animals any good.

It sure is to me. What else?

You may mean: what else, so, what else? You? The environment?

>Every time I tell someone that

When you tell them, hand them a copy of this:

� 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

The meat industry provides life for the animals that it
slaughters, and the animals live and die as a result of it
as animals do in other habitats. They also depend on it for
their lives as animals do in other habitats. If people consume
animal products from animals they think are raised in decent
ways, they will be promoting life for more such animals in the
future. People who want to contribute to decent lives for
livestock with their lifestyle must do it by being conscientious
consumers of animal products, because they can not do it by
being vegan.
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. �

They had no idea. How do you think a pig could even find out what death is?
There's no way they can.

>shit. Again you are just behind the curve.

If you think pigs know they're going to be killed when they take the truck
ride YOU are not only behing the curve, you're in a universe that doesn't exist.
Here's a basic for you to try to learn: pigs not only don't know they're going
to be killed and eaten by humans, but you couldn't explain it to them if you
spent the rest of your life trying. Could you "teach" it to them? Maybe not. We
raised some pigs for several years and out of each litter at least one or two of
the half grown pigs was killed in the pen with its mother and whatever brothers
and sisters were still around. It never bothered the sow, or any of the other
pigs when their sibling was shot in the head, and then its throat was cut to
bleed it out. Sheep are the only things I've heard different about. I've heard
it a couple of times tha sheep know, but no other animals I've heard of do. Pigs
don't, cows don't, and chickens don't I know fom personaly observation as well
as discussions with other people.

That's the name I use for people who hide behind the gross misnomer "animal
rights" since they certainly don't want rights or anything else for domestic
animals. They do want the elimination of domestic animals though...so....

The same people who ignorantly from most people's pov want to do away with

They're the same people who commit terrorist acts as well.

What do you think you're trying to talk about? I don't go PeTA's direction
often, but every time I have they've used a small e. If they quit doing that's
just dishonesty from their direction, but I sure HOPE it's because people are
catching on to the distinction between AW and elimination. Even if they did
slimely stop writing it that way I believe I'll continue. Nope I checked and
they're still doing it. You don't know much about this apparently.

By "we" I assume you mean your two brain cells?

So you're saying you don't eat meat, then? Hey, here's an example that
might help: Bill Clinton doesn't eat meat and George W. Bush does. Go
figure, right?

To the extent that the law can _make_ you do anything at all --
i.e., via the force-backed threat of punishment -- it can make you
do anything that the people who make the law want it to.

Clinton doesn't eat meat, now, because the fat pudgy fuck clogged his
coronary arteries chomping down greasy cheeseburgers in the White House
and had a heart attack. One thing we know for certain: there is no
ethical pretense in his vegetarianism, because Clinton can't even
/spell/ the word 'ethics', let alone have any.

I think already answered this. You can't own your own child, either,

your child. A child can be removed from your care if you don't
adequately care for the child.

That's actually pretty funny. Long ago, I elaborated on the fact that
so-called "ethical" vegetarianism, or "veganism", is a marker for
extreme left-wing thought. Not all doctrinaire left-wing extremists are
"vegans", but all "vegans" are doctrinaire left-wing extremists.

Conservatives and libertarians who are vegetarian virtually always are
for health reasons, real or imagined.

There is nothing intrinsically unhealthful about eating meat, Komrade.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetarianism

Vegetarians tend to have lower body mass index,[38] lower levels of
cholesterol, lower blood pressure, and less incidence of heart disease,
hypertension, type 2 diabetes, renal disease, metabolic syndrome,[39]
dementias such as Alzheimer's disease and other disorders.[40] Non-lean
red meat, in particular, has been found to be directly associated with
increased risk of cancers of the esophagus, liver, colon, and the
lungs.[41] Other studies have shown no significant differences between
vegetarians and non-vegetarians in mortality from cerebrovascular
disease, stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, or prostate
cancer.[34] A 2010 study compared a group of vegetarian and meat-eating
Seventh-day Adventists in which vegetarians scored lower on depression
tests and had better mood profiles.[42] However, vegetarians are
frequently deficient in vitamin B12 and often show weakening of
bones[43] and depression.[44]

No, my child is not "owned" in any sense.


> You can't just leave it on a street corner with impunity.

Correct, but that has nothing to do with ownership. Something I own, I
typically *may* put out on a street corner with a "Free!" sign inviting
someone to take it. I got rid of some patio furniture and an old
lawnmower doing just that. I owned those things.


> You can't buy and sell it.

Exactly! That's why a child isn't owned.


> How do you have a non owned cat?

In fact, cats more than other domestic animals are seen as less amenable
to ownership. The law regarding liability for damages caused by a cat,
as opposed to a dog, is much less demanding precisely because cats are
considered less controllable and therefore "ownership" doesn't impose
the same level of liability as owning a dog.

Anyway, I think you're missing the point. All of you are.

The point that "aras" wish to make is that, in their ideal world, one
may have custody of as well as responsibility for domestic animals, but
not ownership. I think the closest analogue in today's world would be
foster children. If you no longer wish to be a foster parent, there are
provisions in place whereby you contact some government agency and they
take custody of the child. Understand: the belief by "aras" that
domestic animals should not be seen as property is not one I support or
with which I agree.

Goo's lying anyway. Those people want to see the elimination of all domestic
animals and he and I both know it, but it seems they've now begun to lie about
that too. They used to be honest and proud of it but now they've started lying
about it apparently. It must have started to hurt contributions because people
are beginning to understand what they really want. One of the regular
eliminationist in aaev was honest about it once years ago, saying:

"The vast majority of the financial support for PeTA comes
from people who do NOT subscribe to the complete elimination
of animal use." - Dutch

He's right to be ashamed of their support of terrorists, yet at the same

Trying to dishonestly deny PeTA's support of terrorists isn't funny. It's

not funny. Especially since no doubt your dishonesty is because you're afraid
some people might stop contributing to them if they knew PeTA supports
terrorism. How do you want people to feel about Newkirk supporting hoof and
mouth disease, btw?

Goo agrees with you eliminationists about many things, like:

"NO livestock benefit from being farmed." - Goo

"No farm animals benefit from farming." - Goo

"There is nothing to "appreciate" about the livestock "getting
to experience life" - Goo

""giving them life" does NOT mitigate the wrongness of
their deaths" - Goo

"the nutritionally unnecessary choice deliberately to kill an animal
ALWAYS causes a moral harm greater in magnitude than . . . the
moral "benefit" realized by the animal in existing at all" - Goo

"the moral harm caused by killing them is greater in magnitude
than ANY benefit they might derive from "decent lives" - Goo

"Life "justifying" death is the stupidest goddamned thing you
ever wrote." - Goo

"The meaningless fact-lette that farm animals "get to
experience life" deserves no consideration when asking
whether or not it is moral to kill them. Zero." - Goo

"no matter how "decent" the conditions are, the deliberate killing
of the animals erases all of it." - Goo

"it is not "better" that the animal exist, no matter
its quality of live" - Goo

"It is not "better" in any moral way, and not in *any* way
at all to the animal itself, that the animal exists." - Goo


>Say something that shows you
>have some knowledge of the subject,

Goo is one of you, agreeing with you people that:

"...existence, or "getting to experience life", is not a benefit compared
with never existing." - Goo

"Existence - "getting to experience life" - is not a benefit to livestock
animals (or any other living entity) and deserves no moral consideration
at all, and gets none from rational people." - Goo

"The opportunity for potential livestock to "get to
experience life" deserves *NO* moral consideration
whatever, and certainly cannot be used to justify the
breeding of livestock" - Goo

"It is completely UNIMPORTANT, morally, that "billions
of animals" at any point "get to experience life."
ZERO importance to it." - Goo

"the "getting to experience life" deserves NO moral
consideration, and is given none; the deliberate killing
of animals for use by humans DOES deserve moral
consideration, and gets it." - Goo

"Humans could change it. They could change it by ending it." - Goo

"you MUST believe that it makes moral sense not to raise the
animals as the only way to prevent the harm that results from
killing them." - Goo

logically one MUST conclude that not raising them in the first place
is the ethically superior choice." - Goo

"There is no "selfishness" involved in wanting farm animals not to
exist as a step towards creating a more just world." - Goo

>fuckwit.

That Goober certainly is a fuckwit, no doubt. I also consider Goo to be the
most dishonest person I've ever encountered.

Goo is lying to you and apparently so far you're falling for their dishonest
tricks. The whole idea IS to eliminate all domestic animals. They were honest
about that for years but apparently they've begun to lie about it, almost
certainly because it began to reduce the amount of $$$ they could get. They want
to eliminate all domestic animals but they've learned not to admit it, so they
make up these lies about allowing some pets.

Keep this in mind at all times: providing decent lives of domestic animals
works AGAINST what they want to accomplish. That's why people like Goo and his
boys are so maniacally opposed to people considering the lives of domestic
animals. Since eliminationists have apparently learned that more people want to
contribute to decent lives for domestic animals which remember works AGAINST
what they want, they dishonestly pretend that that's what they do want even
though their end goal is really total elimination. They don't care what sort of
lies they tell to get the money to fund the project either. These are the same
people that approve of and support terrorists who destroy medical research and
raid fur farms and set fires and set off bombs wherever they feel like it,
etc... Do you think that people who try to impose what they want on everybody
else to that maniacal extent, would hesitate to lie in order to obtain millions
more dollars each year to help them try to get what they want and also of course
to put in their pockets? That sort of slimy low life thing is WHAT they do. And
btw I consider Goo to be the most dishonest person I've ever encountered,
followed closely by his boy "Dutch".

Goo is lying to you, which is what he does. They want the elimination of
domestic animals including pets, but now they've apparently started lying about
it because the truth hurts their income. Before they started lying they would
say things like:

They still feel the same way. That hasn't changed. What has changed is only that
now they're lying about it for $$$ reasons. One of the regular eliminationists
in aaev, who is one of Goo's "boys", admitted in a very rare second of honesty
which was no doubt a mistake on his part:

"The vast majority of the financial support for PeTA comes

Well, you don't tag it because that would imply ownership. You also
wouldn't give it shots because that would be cruel (don't get them
started on spaying/neutering!). Pretty much anything to do with a
veterinarian would be right out as it would have to involve discomfort,
pain or indignity for the noble pure animal.

No, they haven't. You are lying. PETA advocates the cessation of
breeding of companion animals. They don't use the word "pet",
preferring "companion animal." They do not advocate a ban on keeping
companion animals; they want a redefinition of the relationship.

I don't agree with PETA on any of this, but it doesn't help to
misrepresent their position, as you are attempting to do.

Let me be more clear: you pulled the term "veganism" out of your ass,
put it in quotes for some reason, and gave it no context or definition.
You're just telling me you lack the basic intelligence to discuss the

You're a moron. Show me a connection to terrorists. A quote isn't a

firepower to do so until you can produce something. Or, to quote

Plus they'll send you to jail if you eat your children.

Whereas, if a cat eats its children, the human goes to jail.

If a cat eats its owner, excuse me, food sponsor, they make a cool

No, I didn't. It's a term coined by "vegans" - so-called "ethical"
vegetarians - themselves.

Let me be clear: it's a marker for left-wing extremism. As I said:
