[631] Of off to Singapore
Well, I'm off to Singapore soon. Ah, more pictures for my collection.

And since I can't think of anything to write right now (really, just being plain lazy while watching lame p0rn featuring stupid female elf with male troll with oversized tusk), let's piss off some animal rights extremists.

Live mollusks (cockle?) facing torture.



Dead mollusks facing digestion.



Somehow, I feel bad.

p/s - goddamn. I'm thinking too much.

Come to think of it, most of us can't help but feeling humane only to humans, mammals, birds, reptiles and large fishes (practically, large animals). Other "lesser" beings like mollusks and small fishes seem to slip that kind of humane treatment. Caught fishes are left to suffocate in open air while salt water mollusks are drown in fresh water.

I wish I hadn't tried to piss off those weirdos. Now, I'm pissed.

Need to stop thinking or I won't consume fishes again, ever...

I have always look at animal rights as people with too much time. If they are hungry and poor, they will not be thinking about these.

I do not support killing animal for leisure but I support killing for food. God made carnivourous and omnivorous animals to kill other animals for food. This is part of food chain and to balance the ecosystem.

If animal rights condemn slaughering of animals in slaughter house is inhumane, then how about the suffering the animals have to go through if they were to mauled to death by wild animals or die of hunger at old age instead? Which is more suffering?

Killing for a good reason is fine with me (slaugthering for food or defense) but not for other reasons.

Animal rights activists get bad rep from extremists.

There is nothing wrong about killing for food. But it's the way farmhouses treat and kill them that typical animal rights activists question.

(Like, giving herbivours food with contains meat - which by the way, the suspected cause of mad cow disease - or making those farm animals stay in a very compact closure where animals couldn't even stretch their legs or cutting them alive when the animals were supposed to be dead after their head were severed - the head wasn't properly severed in some cases. It's not really a great sight to see live animals being cut to pieces alive.)

I'll recommend a book entitled Fast Food Nations. Read that and then come back here again. See if the book will change your perception.

Next time you make these call me over, I'll enjoy and you'll thik ;-)

btw we are food to some living organisms as the other are food to us, only concern is ('cause there is far to much of us) that we do not eat them all....
