Flawed Argument.

Mike Vick is no worse than people who eat meat. Um, I doubt anyone would be making a big deal about Mike Vick if he had eaten the dogs after they were drowned, electrocuted, shot, punched, rolled down a hill in a barrel or beaten to death with a pillow case and a Coke can. Well, maybe they still would, but vegans are lame.

"Like him, we hire someone else to do the dirty work. Many will find this bizarre since the nicely packaged piece of meat in a store looks so harmless.

"Consumers don't have to buy into violence and barbarity. First go to Farm Sanctuary's Web site and, if you can stomach it, educate yourself on the cruelty behind the meat industry."

Yay! The "packaged meat" argument. Man that one is really annoying. I would bet that third world countries, places where people are more likely to butcher animals themselves, have fewer self proclaimed vegetarians than we do.

Unless, she is saying that the barbaric practices performed by the meat industry turned people into vegetarians. In that case, we should all pick up hunting. I would love to shoot the shit out of some deer. Then we can clean 'em. Get our hands all covered in blood.(Actually I wouldn't. I'll take mine wrapped in cellophane.)

I read this last week, and it's just awesome...sorry about the edits....

What p*sses me off so much about this phrase is the sheer narrow-mindedness of these stuck up vegetarian a$$holes. You think you're saving the world by eating a tofu-burger and sticking to a diet of grains and berries? Well here's something that not many vegetarians know (or care to acknowledge): every year millions of animals are killed by wheat and soy bean combines during harvesting season (source). Oh yeah, go on and on for hours about how all of us meat eaters are going to h*ll for having a steak, but conveniently ignore the fact that each year millions of mice, rabbits, snakes, skunks, possums, squirrels, gophers and rats are ruthlessly murdered as a direct result of YOUR dieting habits. What's that? I'm sorry, I don't hear any more elitist banter from you pompous c*cks. Could it be because your s*it has been RUINED?
That's right: the gloves have come off. The vegetarian response to this embarrassing fact is "well, at least we're not killing intentionally." So let me get this straight; not only are animals ruthlessly being murdered as a direct result of your diet, but you're not even using the meat of the animals YOU kill? At least we're eating the animals we kill (and although we also contribute to the slaughter of animals during grain harvesting, keep in mind that we're not the ones with a moral qualm about it), not just leaving them to rot in a field somewhere. That makes you just as morally repugnant than any meat-eater any day. Not only that, but you're killing free-roaming animals, not animals that were raised for feed. Their bodies get mangled in the combine's machinery, bones crushed, and you have the audacity to point fingers at the meat industry for humanely punching a spike through a cow's neck? If you think that tofu burgers come at no cost to animals or the environment, guess again.
To even suggest that your meal is some how "guiltless" is absurd. The defense "at least we're not killing intentionally" is bullsh*t anyway. How is it not intentional if you KNOW that millions of animals die every year in combines during harvest? You expect me to believe that you somehow unintentionally pay money to buy products that support farmers that use combines to harvest their fields? Even if it was somehow unintentional, so what? That suddenly makes you innocent? I guess we should let drunk drivers off the hook too since they don't kill intentionally either, right? There's no way out of this one. The only option left for you dipsh*ts is to buy some land, plant and pick your own crops. Impractical? Yeah, well, so is your stupid diet.
Even if combines aren't used to harvest your food, you think that buying fruits and vegetables (organic or otherwise) is any better? How do you think they get rid of bugs that eat crops in large fields? You think they just put up signs and ask parasites to politely go somewhere else? Actually, I wouldn't put that suggestion past you hippies. One of the methods they use to get rid of pests is to introduce a high level of predators for each particular prey, which wreaks all sorts of havoc on the natural balance of predator/prey populations--causing who knows what kind of damage to the environment. Oops, did I just expose you moral-elitists for being frauds? Dam*dest thing.
