[kj] (OT)turtles

> killing animals for entertainment 

 
   I think "primitive" is such a tripwire where the offended feels 'entitled' and the offender 
slips into self-censorship and apologetic cries, so let's call it what it is: Sadistic.

   There is a difference between eating animals as nourishment and killing animals for entertainment .
   And I did say that generally Asians treated animals horrendously and by your statement below, you seem to be saying that Asians are primitive. For your information, many Asians Cities are more modern and developed that European Cities , so cut all your racist bullshit about saying that Asians are primitive .

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.
