I would rather treat plants and animals equally. Plants are factory farmed just like animals, plants are killed for sport just as animals are. So why can't they be equal when it comes to eating?

I am laughing over this one! I sure won't feed the trolls.

If a troll is gone does it still count as feeding it?

If a troll falls down in the woods....

Nope, it is then called mocking it.

There's a sport for plant killing? How difficult is that? I'm having enough trouble keeping my house plants growing. I have an idea. Let's go out to my horse pasture with spades and see who can kill the most bull thistles in 8hours.

It's come down to having to replant our entire hay field and pastures next year to wipe the thistles out.

Oh certainly there is. Ya know, just last month I went out in my mom's backyard with a shotgun & snuck up on the apple tree. The poor sucker never saw me coming. It was calmly resting, and basking in the cool autumn breeze when BOOM! I popped it right in the apples! Bagged a good 8 dozen or so too... and you shoulda seen how big they were! Sure, it put up a good fight & I had to chase it down the street but... a girls gotta eat something!

Honestly... if I won't eat meat, and can't eat the veggies, am I supposed to live off of artificially processed goo? Yick!

Mmmmmm artificially processed goo...

Now you got me craving some cheesse in a can

**homeschoolmama** · #9 11-26-05, 03:30 pm

Ohh ick... have you ever read the can that stuff comes in? It's not cheese, it's artificial cheese FOOD! That's what little cheeses eat to grow up to be big, strong, healthy cheeses. You don't really want to grow up to be a big, strong healthy cheese do you?

I'm already the big cheese here, so maybe I should lay off!

Yep, I LOVE torturing plants! It's so much fun to rip off a carrot's limbs, one by one and listen to it scream. After that I throw it to the cavies and they join me in the torture, slowly chewing it to bits!

**Kriket** · #12 11-26-05, 06:21 pm

How do you know that carrotts aren't really screaming, but silently?

**guineapiglvr14** · #13 11-26-05, 06:27 pm

That made me laugh I almost fell out of my chair!

Wouldn't that invlove a central nervous system and a brain?

**Kriket** · #15 11-26-05, 10:32 pm

Maybe, maybe not. I don't know, how do we KNOW?

**homeschoolmama** · #16 11-26-05, 10:39 pm

mmmmm! Now you're making ME hungry! (rummages in the fridge for carrot brains)

But we do know. When I chop up a carrot I don't find a brain or any other organs. Plants are not like us. They have a whole other type of existance and a whole other purpose.

I remember a few years ago the Breatharians had a convention. I saw their online agenda and schedule. Among all the lectures and stuff was something like this;

"award luncheon catered by XYZ Catering"

I laughed my butt off. Catered?! I thought they lived on air and Hindu energy waves or some such nonsense. Why in the world would they have a catered lunch?
