If animal rights groups want people to stop eating meat, what is to be with all the cows, pigs and chickens? Do farmers/ranchers have to set them free? Or allow them to live on the farmer's land for free? What if the farmer wants to use his land for something else? What about population control? Are these animals just allowed to breed to their hearts content? If so, without a natural predator to help weed them out over-population will become a big problem. I don't think there are enough wolves, foxes, etc to do the job. Maybe the UN can allocate a piece of land somewhere as Livestockland and ship them all there? Sort of like how Liberia was created. If they are their own free nation, can they be invaded like any other nation of people can be? If they are conquered because of their lack of military training and can't defend themselves, are captured animals allowed to be locked up or eaten? If this happens, doesn't it defeat the purpose of setting them free in the first place?

Don't worry, "nature" is taking it's course.

Maybe separate nations:

A nation of Chickens; a nation of pigs; a nation of buffaloes (cattle). Hmmm....could be interesting. A new twist to trying to be politically correct.

If we aren't supposed to eat animals, then why did god make them out of food?

Free the animals man. They have been discriminated against since the beginning of time!

My dog's currently undertaking a campaign of civil disobedience until he gets his morning walk...

Those aninal rights activists are a bunch of species-bigots!

What about all the fish getting caught only to die a lingering painfull death, suffocating? Lobsters, crayfish, and shelfish boiled alive screaming to their best ability.

Nobody cares for the rights of vegetables. Have you ever heard a cabbage cry when it is cut? Has anybody spared a thought to carrots ripped out of their beds, asparagus cut off in it's childhood etc?

Cutting grass with a lawn mower is genocide!

Remember, meat is murder; fish is justifiable homicide.

Ban all insecticides....those poor little cute mozzies and flies die in their thousands every day.
