Hey, **Czar** , just a reminder, if you’re going to redact someone’s quote inside the quote box, please remember to use ellipses or square brackets to demonstrate where you’ve elided the text.

No warning issued.

Also, finally got around to fixing the original quote. Sorry for the delay, I’ve been black-out drunk for most of the last week.

> It was a “joke” where a unidentified link was dropped in a thread about a poster rescuing a cat. No warning of the contents was given. It was meanspirited threadshitting. If that is your idea of a joke I’ll bet you are loads of fun on Friday night.

Yes, in fact I really _am_ loads of fun on a Friday night! We don’t usually dissect animals–well, not mammals anyway–but as we have a lot of medical professionals in our family, not to mention many others in the public service who regularly work with criminals, infantrymen and refugees, our discussions are usually brimming with gallows humor and jokes about body parts and the dark side of human nature.

That said we are very ethical people and would never eat an animal that was not humanely raised and killed.
