Personally I find the cuter an animal when living the tastier when dead. Anything that has stared in a disney cartoon being a sure thing as a tasty snack.

I've been a vegetarian, got to say I don't treat it as a club and I do find be dumped in with some over sensitive souls quite disturbing.

Primarily I don't eat meat because I don't trust the production and distribution chain not to poison me.

Apart from over sensitive veggies I find sensitive meat eaters even worse. There was a similar out cry the other week when one Jamie Oliver was shown helping an Italian farmer to kill a lamb(or possibly sheep).

What disturbed me was a lot of the people who were "disgusted" would be quite happy to go out and buy the meat once it had been reduced to a palid foam packed slab.

Agreed and why it was right for Gordon Ramsay to kill the Turkeys they reared in order to demonstrate to his kids where meat comes from.....

... & lets not stop there - over the next few days I hope to add a few pheasants, the odd duck, maybe some snipe to meat that is already resting in the freezer ... oh, & maybe a few bunnies as well

And fair play to you, at least you'll know where the meat came from.

Personally I'd have hunting and game preperation on the national curriculum.

but Chris you cant .... it might hurt those little dears feelings to find out that vension was once deer.

Vegetarians only kill things that can't run away from them.

My darling daughter, a vegetarian since Thanksgiving day 1984 ("I can't eat that poor birdy"), has decided this year that meat isn't so bad afterall. Finally.

This after spending years trying to find healthy foods for a growing child that didn't make her look skinny and sickly. Vegetarianism should be illegal for children under 18.

Bunnies are delicious. Definitely get some bunnies. :)

I heard a rumour that meat came from various live hairy or feathery things that we had to kill to get at it. Not sure what to make of that kinda talk.

I think that the people who spread rumours like that should be forced to eat eggs, after we make up some story about where store bought eggs come from ... say from the butt end of a chicken.

I am writing under a pseudonym as I have vegetarians in my family who I don't want to upset... however I am very concerned for my two young nephews, living on a diet of beans on toast and courgette(zuchini) pie when their bones are forming and they should be eating fish fingers , sausages, burgers and all the healthy normal things we ate as children until the current veggie madness took over. The poor boy has no interest in food and looks pale and thin. No wonder when he isn't even allowed to eat an egg.
