[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=doodlebug][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read on here everyday about embracing culture and here it is, you don't like a different culture and you have to bash it because you don't like it.

hmmm interesting [/quote]

Some injustices go beyond "culture" - slavery, rape, domestic abuse, etc. Even animal cruelty. [/quote]

+100 I'll also add that I don't embrace child brides, genital mutilation, blood fiestas (another "great" Spanish tradition) and more.[/quote]

Exactly!  Embracing another culture doesn't mean you have to adopt/support the violent aspects of it.[/quote]

Now pass the paella! 
[/quote] Isn't paella usually made with seafood? Or rabbit? Or other meat? So it's ok to eat THOSE tortured animals, as long as they're on your plate, but not the bull fight? I am omnivorous, but eat very little meat and only if it comes from Whole Foods or a farmers market. If I could find a way to keep my iron up, I think I'd go vegetarian rather than risk eating an animal that lived a miserable life and died a terrible death.[/quote]

I buy my beef from a local farmer who grass feeds and humanely kills the cow (it's called cow pooling).  I also buy sustainable seafood and free range poultry/eggs.  It's not perfect I'm sure, but at least I try to eat animals that live a good life and are raised in a way that doesn't harm the environment.

Also, eating an animal provides nourishment, not entertainment from torture.[/quote]

You may want to live in a fantasy, but all animals raised for food suffer.  Not only that, which is fairly significant, but that meat on your plate are babies; cows are slaughtered at 1.5, pigs @ 6 months and chicken @ 3 months.  You've bought into the organic meat movement, another lie by the industry.  Until we stop giving farm aid, cruelty will prevail.[/quote]
