| #23 Mmmm. I'll have a little of everything except the ribs, ed. ShamWow, for a better understanding of what goes on at slaughterhouses, I would suggest reading Animals in Translation by Temple Grandin, an animal behaviour scientist and the person who designed many of the slaughterhouses in America. Or, you can try her more technical Livestock Handling and Transport, but I imagine that would go beyond your current need. Bottom line, my dear, you should know better than to let one sensationalist video of uncertain parentage form your opinion on any issue. Or, you could always pay the premium for kosher beef, where no tazing is permitted and the cattle must be dead within a few minutes of starting the process. You might want to switch to kosher hotdogs, too. You'd be shocked by the government standards are for the regular ones. |

| #22 Memphis dry rub rack of ribs, roasted sliced golden potatoes, grilled mixed vegetables, spinach in a cream sauce reduction and BV Coastal cabernet sauvignon. That's what's for dinner. A little for everyone, so can't we all get along? |

| #20 Sham, I don't go this far with many posters here, especially new ones, but you can blow me. We 'beef eaters' don't go around to websites and try to tell vegan shitbags how disgusting their food is or try to give them a health scare. Spare me your activism. Go protest beef somewhere else. I'm sure there's a PETA protest at a McDonalds somewhere you could join. Go hold up some disgusting signs in front of children. We adults are going to call you on your BS. |

| #16 I guess you won’t be coming to dinner then, what a pity. I could eat your liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti…” |

| #14 When meat is outlawed - Vegetarians will be pretty tasty. |

| #13 Shamwow, it's a good thing you don't have to dirty your hands with actually slaughtering and cutting up any meat. You would be a Vegetarian. |

| #12 Apparently, Mike, you didnt read the post where it stated im a meat-eater. i just avoid BEEF like the plague because ive seen how cattle are processed from slaughter to shrink wrap styrofoam container, and its nauseating. hope you dont mind my saying, but make sure your "salmonella" booster shots are up-to-date (oh, too bad for the consumer, they dont have said shots) . |

| #10 but could you stomach some nice beef sausage right after watching feces-encrusted downed cattle tortured into the "kill shoot" for 45 minutes with tazers? i have watched such video, a meat-eater myself, and havent touched a burger since |

| #9 MRP- Followed your link. The auteur of that blog is certifiable. If we were a truly enlightened society, we would have the sack to mark people like her as sufficiently mentally ill so as to not be able to vote. But we aren't. In the meantime, I'll grill up some mule deer sausage and use the enzymes and teeth that my DNA coded for to digest said sausage in a totally natural and intended way - and enjoy while I do. |

| #7 My leather jacket will be dust in a lifetime or two. That polyester one this jerk likely wears will still be in some landfill 20K years from now. These folks are the enemy of life. |

| #6 He supposedly believes in animal rights but he keeps (or at least kept) a large, carnivorous, expensive, purebred animal as a pet? |

| #5 Below is a link to a vegan blogpost on the possible impact the Sunstein appointment will have on the 'animal rights' agenda. LINK Expect gradual extinction of grazing and hunting rights on federal land; and excessive regulatory burden on every individual and business involved in the raising, processing, and marketing of fish, poultry, and livestock. I doubt animals kept for individual family's sustenance will be exempt. Prices for meat, fish, and dairy products are going to skyrocket if Sunstein has his way. |

| #4 He's willing to put his money on the line. From his Wikipedia bio: Sunstein had a pet Rhodesian Ridgeback, Perry. During the Clinton impeachment hearings, Sunstein grew tired of appearing on news programs, and agreed to appear on Greta Van Susteren's CNN program only if he could bring Perry on the show with him; she agreed.[12] Perry died in the fall of 2008. The University of Chicago Law School has created the Perry/Sunstein fund in Perry's memory, a scholarship fund for a student with an interest in animal welfare. |
