Saw a bumper-sticker on the way to work today...

"If animals could talk, everyone would be vegetarians"

Is it just me or is that just the stupidest thing you've ever heard?

I think it's true for the most part, would you kill a chicken that was cowering in the corner and pleading for it's life?

But, animals aren't that smart, so we eat them.

Maybe they can pick out the suicidal animals and then they wouldnt care as much if they got their head cut off.

Yeah... what's the difference between eating a plant and eating an animal? They're both alive when you kill 'em for food.

he was sort of obligated to eat it, since it was served by his host family and they were eating it.
