Aspies For Freedom

What are you views on vegetariansim, veganism, animal skins, fur, even feathers?

I eat meat and fish, I own a leather jacket, leather shoes, belt, etc.

If I was freezing to death and an eskimo offered me a coat made of seal pup fur I would gladly wear it, but like most humans, warm, furry, cute animals being killed for their fur would otherwise turn my stomach.

I voted for the top choice, but I wouldn't buy real fur though unless my life (literally) depended on it.

I eat meat and fish, although I prefer "junk food" and noodles. And cheese.

Leather is okay, but, like Brightman, I would NOT wear fur unless my life really depended on it (i.e. the eskimo situation Bright mentioned). I think it's sad that they kill minks (like ferrets, only bigger and softer [Yes, I've actually seen a live one before.]) for fashion. How shallow!  :cry:

:!: Mich :?:

I'm a vegetarian and i don't wear fur or leather. I just don't want any animals to die for me.

I eat meat and would wear leather.

I would not wear fur because the animals killed for it are killed for that alone which I think is wrong.

If youre going to kill an animal then A - the main reason should be to sustain yourself and B - nothign should be wasted (i.e. leather and other biproducts)

I hate the meat industry and the impact it has and I want no part in it. So I'm a veggie. Most probably become vegan when I cook for myself.

Ah but the thrill of the hunt, the sinking of teeth into hot succulent flesh, the blood gushing out over ones lips...

As if that ever happens. It's your ecstasy, not mine.

First one here who manages to kill a cow with his bare hands and to eat it uncooked gets to eat my cat  :lol:

Is there much meat on your cat?

And raw american steak is lovveeerrrrly. Never tried cat though; is it popular in Belgium alfonzo?

Yes, especially among vegetarians. The tails are sometimes a pain in the *** to digest though  

MEOW!

I recently saw chickens being slaughtered on Hugh's Chicken Run and Jamie's Fowl Dinners, both part of Channel 4's "Big Food Fight" season. (That's Messrs Fearnley-Whittingstall and Oliver.)

And male chicks are gassed shortly after hatching (this was also demonstrated on Jamie's Fowl Dinners.)
