    Fortunately our moron crew have made it to 11, 9 and 2 so far. The 11 year old was from a family whos bitch had accidentally got off the lead when she was in heat, the 9 year old was from a breeder (And was the runt of the litter - Incidentally the one with the leg trouble), and the two year old just sort of arrived one day because the family he was with couldn't handle him anymore.

    Think I'll be going for another accidental puppy owner next time, since he has the better (imo) temprament and personality. Probably harder to find a doberman who's undocked and unclipped from an accidental mother, though.

    I met a guy walking back from the park once who said he'd never have another dog, just because it hurts when they go. I can see his point, but a furry idiot is always fun to be around, IMO.

    no problem dude, thanks. :)

    What is entirely the truth? Your post consisted only of questions, and statements that are irrelevant to my vegetarianism (and that of all the other vegetarians I know). To say that members of a group whose actions you disagree with x are 'just wrong' gets us nowhere. And yes, of course I'm insulted by your attitude, and therefore have no desire to discuss the matter (or any other) with you any further.

    I'm with you 100% on that. I have a big problem with breeding animals for humans' use in general, and this is one reason why.

    ETA: I'm sorry to hear about your golden retriever, crompers. :waah:

    sounds like your house is fun :D would love to have three big stupid dogs.

    yep, i reckon a doberman is going to be difficult to just "come across", but if you look hard enough i reckon you'd probably find a close enough cross. its quite telling that my parents are looking at rescue dogs for the next one, they learnt their lesson!

    I'm vegi but I still almost pissed myself laughing... I mean what he said after was gold
    " I didn't know it was frowned upon, I won't do it again because its offending people"

    How often do you see someone BBqueing a dog? and he didn't know it was frowned upon.... lame excuse

    thanks mate its always a little traumatic losing a pet but i've dealt with it now :thumb:

    I was a vegi for four years. One thing i learnt is that people quite often take YOUR choices as a personal attack on what THEY do. For me being vegi had nothing to do with showing the world the error of its ways, it was a personal decision and it affected only me. So keep the faith and stick to your guns man, if you dont have principles what do you have?

    Alright, then, let's go about it this way:

    Why are you a vegitarian?

    Don't like the taste - Fussy

    Don't like the idea of killing to survive - What do you call eating that rather alive plant in your wrapper of dead planet (sandwich)

    Think the treatment of animals bred for slaughter is unethical - They're bred for slaughter. What do you expect, geishas rubbing their legs every ten seconds? You'd be better off sending letters.

    Religion - I'm with Chris Rock here; "I ain't shitting on nobodies religion or nothin', but I refuse to believe that my entrance to heaven is going to be decided on what I ate. 'Hey god, I killed a bunch of kids, but I eat right!'" (paraphrased).

    Environmental vegetarian - Personally, I think there are more important things to worry about with the environment, not whether we can fit enough cows on the planet to sustain our beef lust.

    Economical Vegetarian - Sorry, but that's just stupid. Really, really, stupid.

    Health concerns - Unless a doctor has told you you're going to die if you ever eat another dead animal again, this is utterly pointless. If you paid a scientist enough, they could find links to cancer from the moon.

    Psychological (IE: Think it looks unapetising) - Fussy.

    Those are the only kinds of vegetarian I have encountered - My mother falls into the psychological category.

    Haha, it can get a bit manic, especially around feeding time!

    Yeah, fortunately I've got uni to get out of the way first, so. Some years yet :D

    My boss and his wife are rescue-only fans. They've always had rescues and, I expect, always will.

    Better than cremating the whole thing!

    I don't mind consumption of household pets as long as the reason was justified. Then again, how did they afford the pet in the first place?

    I'm reminded of that bit in Pullman's Dark Materials trilogy, when the bear's best friend, that Russian guy, dies from a wound and the bear pays his respects and then eats him. I loved that. It seems to acknowledge that once a person's dead, it's no longer them, it's just meat - beyond which, unless you have emotional objections, there's no reason not to be pragmatic.

    Makes me angry on Lost, whenever somebody dies they hold a huge ceremony and then BURY THEM. (A), you're on a beach - erosion will expose them again in about a year, you idiots! And (B), you spend half your time whining about how little food you've got, and how you have to devote entire days to hunting boar just to feed yourselves. Figure it out!

    But then, they're Americans, all elevated self-righteous morality and no practical sense or perspective.

    /racism :p

    Don't worry, no offense taken, we are insanely self righteous and will condemn people at sight. Plus if cannabalism was to be introduced, who would watch it? Americans are oversensitive. :hip:
