[kj] (OT)turtles

[Karen Weil]

Excellent point, Elana. I have no problem with people who hunt for food. Humans have been doing that since Day 1.

And so long as livestock are treated decently, and not made to suffer, I've no problem with the fact they end up on our dinner table.

  I love hamburgers but some people consider cow's sacred

  I know people that eat squirrels (sorry Aleph haha)

  People eat frog's legs

  There is a difference in killing for food and abusing animals

  Huh?  Ever known a Polish person?  Blood soup is quite popular, and that is how it is done (slashing the jugular).  Please let us not devolve into a "well, primitive people treat animals this way, while civilized people treat animals humanely".  Visit a local slaughterhouse if one has any questions.  I assume everyone here is a herbivore to have such strong feelings about "violence towards animals"?

  If it was primitive people hunting and eating turtles as a staple diet, then I could accept that .
     But I feel that Gregs family doing that to a turtle wasn't for nutritional purposes , it sounds like it was done for entertainment and killing animals for entertainment is sickening .

  I'm very opened minded about cultures, but that's beyond the pale to me.

    That is inhumane and quite vile .
    The way Asians in general treat animals is quite disgraceful ..(Apart from Cows in India)

    SPeaking of, when I was in Vietnam (August) w/my wife's family, we went to a large seafood restaurant and her male relatives drank blood from a turtle that had it's throat slit at the table!! No joke--I have a pic to prove it.
