I prefer Venison personally, and try to eat it more often ( real local venison, not the store bought junk) than beef * i think it tastes better too*. I know that the meat from that deer wandered freely and happily until its final moments in life. that it did not live in a box, and fed hormones or certain grains to make it grow faster. :gj:
If I had the capability, (which I have in the past), I would have zero problems with hunting unless it was done wrong.
I would eat an animal if I met it first and it lived a healthy, full, and well-enjoyable life, or if I hunted it.
That's my personal statement. :]

The problem is most animals are defined as having no sense of happy/sad love/hate. So what do you do with an animal that has no such feelings? (Snakes are an amazing example) By the way it is believed that brain development in previous 'species' that lead up to man owe that development to the intake of more meat. (If you believe in evolution that is)

Some people shouldn't be aloud to breed! I don't agree with people being vegitarians or veganslet alone an animal...
Re: Putting Ball Pythons on a vegan diet
There are two types of vegans, the ones who do it for the moral issues (I don't deny that modern animal processing is pretty gnarly, and should be improved), and the ones that do it for the "health" reasons.
Your body needs a complete chain of amino acids to regerate its cells. Without these amino acids, your cells can't reproduce properly and eventually, you die. Its just a fact, I apologize that this is so.
Saying that eating meat is unhealthy is just as wrong as saying that refusing to eat animal products is unhealthy. There are ways to go about both dietary practices and be completely healthy, and it just displays the ignorance on both sides of the argument when it keeps coming up over and over again. However, the level of inconvenience that a lot of vegans experience day to day is a lifestyle choice that each individual can choose for themselves, but not to tear vegans off of any high horses, they are absolutely not any healthier than a person who makes good dietary choices that includes animal protein.

Animals have a nervous system, I don't care if they don't feel human emotions, they feel pain and that is reason enough for me not to want to eat meat - I will leave it at that, I do not have to defend my moral positions.
I'm glad you think I'm unnatural :)
EDIT: And I do want to add that I feed all of my omnivorous/carnivorous pets all the meat/meat products they want. I would never deny an animal what they need to survive.
Re: Putting Ball Pythons on a vegan diet
I've been vegan for 10 years and I feed maybe 20 rats a week to my ball pythons, I dont see any problem with that.
Re: Putting Ball Pythons on a vegan diet
I would like to think it is a joke, but there are some truly nutty people out there.
A couple of years ago a vegan couple around here put their newborn infant on a vegan diet (apple juice and soy milk). That idea did not work out so well, the infant died after a few months and both parents are now in prison.
Truth is stranger than fiction.

To be frank I could give a rat's ass about what you do with your life. As long as it isn't effecting my life in a negative way, you can do whatever the hell you want.
