I did not claw my way to the top of the food chain to eat carrots. ---

Probably because they eat all healthy, like. But I tell you, you slap one of them vegans on the grill… woooeeeeee!! That’s good eatin’. \*\* > > now THAT if funny! 😃 \*\* Well, actually, it’s a very, very, very, **VERY** OLD and TIRED line, at least on this board. It’s been done, and done again, and again. The tired old “Vegetarians taste good” line. Please, just retire it. Not because vegetarians are actually going to be offended, but because they are so FRICKING TIRED of hearing it. (At least this vegetarian is.) ---

But eating bugs is healthy; bugs have a lot of protein, even more than peanuts, and are relatively low in fat. ---

Is it wrong for a cat to eat a mouse? ---

Now as a Newbie I don’t know if this has ever been brought up but… There are millions of domesticated farm animals all over the world. Chickens, cows, pigs, ducks, turkeys, etc. Lets say that PETA gets it’s way, and that meat and animal related products are made illegal the world over. WHAT HAPPENS TO THESE ANIMALS? They have had all the “wild” bred out of them for a millenia. They would overwhelm any ecosystem they would be released into. They lack the instincts for survival. Hell, Domestic turkeys die of thirst if you move their water from where it usualy is. The University of Minnesota’s research labs were broken into by these nutjobs this spring, and the research mice were stolen. Acording to one spokesperson for PETA, the mice were released into the wild. These were Lab raised mice. It would have been “kinder” to the mice to stomp em flat then to release them like that. I personaly think that PETA followers are people who wathced BAMBI too much as children. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-rant-that-has-been-ranted-before/32135.md?page=1)
