I'm not a big meat eater either. I probably only eat one serving of meat every 2 days. The texture of meat kind of grosses me out, but I can handle it in small quantities.

My pet list includes a pot bellied pig, Alpaca, and a Greek tortoise. I love almost all animals

LOL

HOW did I miss this thread? I now have many many things to say.

FIRST, Kayla, pork feet are DELICIOUS!
SECOND, Jessie, I absolutely cannot believe you've never had seafood.
I used to be a pescetarian, meaning I would only eat seafood as a source of meat. I plan on returning to it soon. You HAVE to try seafood..........

Now, what's wrong with playing with food? Animals need tender loving care too, they deserve to feel loved and be able to show affection. I know it's hard to kill it after.. but I think they still need the love and the attention while they're alive.

The biggest reason I hate this whole mainstream meat eating business is how huge factory farms shove animals into tiny metal cells, allowing little movement, while injecting them with awful hormones and offering crappy foods. I'm okay with humane methods of killing after the animals have lived happy lives.

I will never in my entire life ever willingly eat pork feet. I would rather starve to death first. There are a lot of things that I would rather starve to death than eat, actually. But pork feet is definitely one of them, and the thought of eating them makes me feel physically ill. And I don't even really have a weak stomach, just the idea of eating some things makes me feel gross.

I'm actually going to stop eating red meat in a few weeks after I okay it with my doctors. Part of the reason is to lose weight and be healthier, but part of it is because the idea of how animals are farmed irks me. It's much easier to find free range, hormone free, pasture fed chicken here than it is beef and pork. The texture of meat actually freaks me out, too. I plan to go back to soy meats and beans as a source of protein.


And my dream animals are an elephant, a capuchin monkey, and a tiger. Clearly, I will never have any of them unless I work at a zoo.

I pay good money to buy sliced pork hooves! Mmmmmmmm

Now now about the dream animals thing.. don't end up as red meat for the tiger..

[kaylayuh]

I can't imagine anyone paying to eat pork feet. My boyfriend's mom makes something called menudo with them. He says even his vegetarian brother-in-law likes it.. but no one's ever told him what it actually is.

I would love to have a polar bear too. All the cute animals look so cuddly as babies, but you end up as food for them when they're older. Like on that show Fatal Attractions on Animal Planet.. I may want one, but the people who actually have them are wackadoodles.

Capuchin monkeys are made of pure evil. My friend has been volunteering at an animal rehabilitation center in the Amazon of Ecuador for the past 2 months. She's got to handle them, and they were EVIL.

Now Squirrel monkeys are where it's at. I handled two adults when I was in Mexico earlier this year. They were complete sweet hearts.

As for the ethical treatment of animals, it breaks my heart to see how the animals we eat are raised. As I said before, I grew up on my Grandparent's dairy farm. I'm not sure if they were organic farmers or not, but I can tell you, those cows had it made. They would name each and every one of them. They spent hours grazing in their many fields. This is how I thought all our food was made when I was younger.

For a real close look at the treatment of livestock, try to watch the movie "Earthlings". It is a very shocking movie, and I don't recommend it if you are squeamish. It is very thought provoking.

.

When I move out, I'm going to try to buy more locally raised food. The 100-mile diet. Support your local farmers, and support the ethical treatment of animals.

I LOVE that show. One episode had this guy living in a rough area of New York City. He wanted to start a zoo, so he somehow bought like 5 big cat youngsters. The plan never went through, and he decided it was crazy to have 5 big cats living in his small apartment. So he sold all but a female tiger cub. Him and that tiger lived in that apartment together for I think over a year (she became fully grown, I don't know the age of maturity in tigers).

He started going "zen" and would meditate with the tiger. They lived peacefully. That is until he decided to bring home a stray cat. The tiger of course tried to kill said cat, but the guy protected it, and ended up getting hurt.

It was pretty messed up, but made good television.

My favorite episode was the one with the guy that put his buffalo in the car. I was telling my boyfriend for weeks before it aired that I wanted to know how the heck he managed that one. I was so dumbfounded how he could fit that humongous thing in a tiny car.

I don't think tigers belong in apartments. But I would love to cuddle with a tiger cub. They look so soft and sweet. Same with polar bears.

I love how his thread transformed
