preserved duck
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT THE CONTENTS ARE ALL DISAPPEARED WHEN I CLICKED SAVE? I SHOULD CONSIDER MOVING THE BLOG TO XANGA.
We have seen a picture on Internet of a preserved dog. I doubted if the picture is real… but what came to my mind was, if preserved dog is cruel, why preserved duck is not?
Came to another discussion with a friend about the cruelness of eating animals. I am not a vegetarian - and in fact I am a beef lover~!! However, the only non-veggie which I think has no emotion is perhaps seafood (well, but after watchng Nemo…).
If we pet cats and dogs, perhaps cows and sheeps and pigs’ intelligence are not lower.
I always give myself excuses that the sole purpose of raising these animals are for serving foods for human beings. And they don’t feel painful when they are killed…?
Another argument, which I do not agree, is that only meat eaters can absorb and complete and balanced nutrition.
This is like a CLONE (as in the movie The Island). The whole purpose of making a clone is for insurance (or for redundancy). Supposedly the clones will receive no pain when their organs are taken. And in fact they should have lived happily during their spans of life.
Is it then cruel?

(oh…I can totally understand how you feel when the text disappeared!)
Sooo many arguement on food! hm…I never disagree having ducks, pigs, etc as pets. They are lovely animals. Just that, normally when ‘things’ can be grown in a mass scale, they become the ideal things for people to eat, to keep us alive.
After all, not all ducks / pigs can be food as well, right?
