  • CaptainNoPants, on 10/19/2007, -8/+166Good for you Ms. Silverstone...now take it off...slowly...
    • bsolidgold, on 10/10/2007, -4/+138Vegetables aren't food! They're what food eats!
      • tradwolley, on 10/10/2007, -7/+91If God didn't want us eating animals he wouldn't have made them so tasty.
        • Reziarfg, on 10/10/2007, -2/+37Or given us canines
        • norman619, on 10/10/2007, -3/+35Or made us suffer nervous system failure and go blind if we didn't eat it.
        • Woah_G!, on 10/10/2007, -6/+33If we weren't meant to eat animals, then how come they are made of meat?
          • knetworx, on 10/10/2007, -22/+6I hate to break it to you, but we're made of meat, too. Are we meant to eat each other?

            Don't get me wrong, I'm an anti-vegetarian (I don't eat vegetables, only meat), but you're argument was still terrible.
          • bpmdub, on 10/10/2007, -4/+5If it weren't illegal I would try it at least once
          • noumuon, on 10/10/2007, -4/+3i've tried it. the buttocks is the tastiest part.
      • gamesector, on 10/10/2007, -5/+44I reckon I could get some meat inside her...

        I'm sorry :'( I'm a bad person!
        • Nereus90, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17Oh, gamesector, you're gift for comedy is rivaled only by your humility.
          • ayeroxor, on 10/10/2007, -17/+1"Oh, gamesector, you're gift for comedy is rivaled only by you're humility."

            Fixed that for ya.
          • nite002, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1WRONG!
          • Nereus90, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Oh! I had it wrong the first time when I used "you're." Both uses should be "your." Sorry grammarians.
          • GrantTheGr8, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1@ayeroxor:
            I hope you're joking.

            (digg still hasn't fixed that reply bug... or the double spacing bug...)
      • redwire, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17I didn't fight to the top of the god damn food chain to eat like a rabbit!
    • xsuite, on 10/10/2007, -39/+17Is it just me or has every vegetarian girl have a funky tasting vaggg? Its prolly cause they're hippies, but they still give good head lol
      • ButterBuddha, on 10/10/2007, -3/+28Eating vegan Beaver? That's mind blowing...
        • knetworx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5That's tremendous! That's stupendous! No....dare I say.....that's OMNIVOROUS!!!
      • Rikkochet, on 10/10/2007, -3/+12lol lol
        Not to perpetuate the "Digg users are virgins" stereotype, but I'm sure it's safe to say anyone who boasts about sexual prowess on Digg is a few years shy of getting laid.
        • xsuite, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Lmao. Im adding you as a friend. You called my bluff :P
    • NgrHader, on 10/10/2007, -11/+42Washed up actress much?
      • norman619, on 10/10/2007, -16/+7Jealous/envious mofo?
        • MarkOfTheDead, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6People still say mofo?

          I mean, other than 13 year old girls on myspace and livejournal?

          I wish that word would die so bad.
    • jbmercha, on 10/10/2007, -4/+12Move your arms!
    • bysin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+130This ad seems like its promoting masturbation.
      And I've always been told masturbation kills kittens.
      wtf PETA?
      • knetworx, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11As of now, I think 588 kittens have died today. At least....that's the number of diggs so far on this article.
      • dbalaski, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Oh the ironry --

        Hey PETA
        ***** sapians (AKA Human Beings) are ANIMALS TOO
        You have just exploited an animal's (person) sexuality to push your agenda --
        highly ethical/moral organization ?? I THINK NOT!!!
        • EPeters, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4You should read up on the history of PETA. They don't consider Human Beings as animals, and they value animal's life above a person's. In fact, they don't even want animals to be pets.
          • dbalaski, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Oh I know that about PETA (i.e. don't want people to have pets )..
            The fact that they don't consider human beings as animals is, well, is narrowing the definition to ridiculousness.
            Human beings, are bipedal primates belonging to the mammalian species ***** sapiens in the family Hominidae (the great apes).
            as for their consideration that animals are above people, lets lock a bunch of them in an arena with a pride of hungry lions , and to give peta a chance -- lets put some firearms in the arena too. Using that as a test -- let us see where their values actually are! (see who survives)
        • tech42er, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Exploited? I hate PETA too but consensual nudity is not exploitation.
    • blitzer, on 10/10/2007, -2/+32If only this was 1996
    • oxdeltaxo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+21Boobs want to be FREE!
      • ayeroxor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I never imagined PETA would refuse to let puppies breathe. THE HUMANITY!
    • Pritchard, on 10/10/2007, -9/+3Anyone else think of Cold Food when they think of vegetables? It progresses to cold vagina. Who wants a cold vagina? And what's up with all this Vegetarians being nude thing? It's like declaring that you're a woman on the internet. We all eat meat, and you don't see us complaining about it.
    • arcooke, on 10/10/2007, -1/+24The irony of it all is that now *she* is the piece of meat.
    • Kronos6948, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12You know what this pic and Batman Forever had in common? No nipples on Batgirl.
  • homerj14, on 10/10/2007, -20/+10yes yes yes
    • bsolidgold, on 10/10/2007, -7/+5... I'm spent.
    • Appanouki, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I didn't climb to the top of the food chain to eat carrots.
  • JackSrenton, on 10/19/2007, -2/+279I am Alicia Silverstone and I am from the 90's.

    but still hot.

    or airbrushed.
    • OisinT, on 10/10/2007, -2/+19:( first thing that came to mind when i saw that was "omg she's actually still pretty...... *****. airbrushed!"
    • kent1146, on 10/10/2007, -12/+7First thing that came to my mind was "fapfapfapfap"
    • pikpikcarrotmon, on 10/10/2007, -8/+4Why were you aiming at your own face, Kent?
      • ayeroxor, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9He's vegetarian and can't afford to waste the protein.
    • crossmr, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9def airbrushed, the skin is just too perfect.
    • daridave, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Yeah, no *****. I forgot how beautiful she is ... or can be. [?]
    • robbiemuffin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6This is a terrible advertisement for Vegetarianism. I look at that and think, "damn! I can't give that up!"
    • skippy562, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2save a tree, eat a vegetarian.
  • misterhardcore, on 10/10/2007, -14/+260You could at least link to the video.

    http://www.petatv.com/tvpopup/Prefs.asp?video=alicia_veg

    Btw. I think she looks a little pale. She should eat some meat.
    • wtfpwned98, on 10/10/2007, -23/+2http://www.petatv.com/tvpopup/Prefs.asp?video=alic ...
      (sans opinion)
    • mikefitz2, on 10/10/2007, -10/+63i got some meat for her
    • deose, on 10/10/2007, -4/+8Could have sworn the video said 'Alicia Vag'
    • norman619, on 10/10/2007, -3/+15She makes me crave beaver for some reason.....
    • pathy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+27"I wasn't always a vegetarian, but I've always loved animals," the 30-year-old actress said in a statement.

      Too bad we can't get hold of that video.
      • noahhoward, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6She knows animal eat other animals right?
        • illpoint, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Right, but animals don't breed other animals in situations with the amount of suffering humans do.
        • RenZ87, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4OK thanks, as long as they were happy before they died it's alright to eat them.
          • ayeroxor, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1You're hitting the nail on the head. All vegetarians either need something to espouse in their meaningless lives, or project their own life of real or perceived suffering onto animals and then take care of the animals like the people wish themselves taken care of.
      • Directrix1, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2Your comment is ***** awesome.
    • Aang, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1"She don't eat meat, but she sure likes the bone" --Dead Eye Dick, "New Age Girl"
    • tech42er, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1The article has a video.
  • tical2756, on 10/10/2007, -33/+14Too bad this wasn't 10 years ago when she was still hot
    • MagicCake, on 10/10/2007, -3/+6Ah, so you're crazy. Thanks for letting us all know.
    • knetworx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2And good for her for not getting breast implants!

      ......I guess......
  • fluidfoundation, on 10/10/2007, -35/+19why are vegeterians for the most part out of shape?
    • mandarin, on 10/10/2007, -9/+24no protein
      • norman619, on 10/10/2007, -4/+12No real protein.
        • sounditout, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1but still they all claim to "never had so much energy and stamina" i don't know where they get it from, the few vegetarians that i know can barely walk! i know its not fair the stereotype them this way but every time i see them i just want to give them a steak or something.
      • bobbydiamondz, on 10/10/2007, -4/+19I'll give her some protein...
      • noumuon, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5i'm a vegetarian and i get plenty of protein - scrambled eggs being my favorite vegetable.
    • gottadiggit, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I'd take a girl who shops at Whole Foods anyday over one that shops at Fat4Less.
      • ayeroxor, on 10/10/2007, -5/+3If you have to shop at special stores because you can't refuse unhealthy food at a regular store, that is YOUR problem.
  • tehpwnerofn00bs, on 10/10/2007, -31/+14she is Alicia Silverstone and she is a damn hippie
  • AwesomeMonster, on 10/10/2007, -30/+19I am Jessica Alba and I enjoy a big bloody juicy steak.

      • bicyclethief, on 10/10/2007, -8/+4I guess the carnivores got owned.
    • norman619, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17Omnivores. Wolves are carnivores. Lions are carnivores. Humans are omnivores.
  • SilenceGold, on 10/10/2007, -3/+127Inaccurate! "[click to enlarge pic]"
    Click what to enlarge the picture?
    • euphemizeme, on 10/10/2007, -20/+3looks like it needs a [sic] ==> dic[k]
      Oh i am so clever
      • MarkOfTheDead, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11I have no idea what you did there.
    • cherwilco, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13I clicked until my mouse almost gave out and that damn pic didn't do *****!
    • lynx77, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I'm still clicking...
    • centran, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1You "click" something but not to enlarge the picture... to enlarge something else.
  • stratmancj, on 10/10/2007, -19/+27i hate peta, but love alicia more ... dugg
  • mandarin, on 10/10/2007, -26/+14Alicia who? Some chick from the 90s ? Was she always this airbrushed?
  • Diggaholics, on 10/10/2007, -14/+87I am so confused about the message. If you're a vegetarian, are you now also a nudist?
    • bicyclethief, on 10/10/2007, -3/+11Like any good marketing, she's associating what she's selling (vegetarianism) with sex or sexiness.
      • noahhoward, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Of course the two have nothing to do with each other and there are plenty of better looking non-vegitarians.
        • bicyclethief, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7The best marketing has nothing to do with sensible associations.
    • wettestwillie, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2Its supposed to be an anti-fur/leather clothing thing.
    • knetworx, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4"If you're a vegetarian, are you now also a nudist?"

      One can only hope....
    • whistlerpro, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Being a vegetarian, I hope that isn't like a new rule.
      • Rezistik, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3it is now take your clothes off...if your a girl..if youre a guy put more clothes on
      • DJCult, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I know, I didn't get that memo either
  • heepajunk, on 10/10/2007, -31/+57Eat a burger
    • kent1146, on 10/10/2007, -8/+9A FUR burger!

      Now that I think about it, that is awesome in so many ways.
    • whistlerpro, on 10/10/2007, -6/+2Flawed, you can have awesome veggie burgers.
      • noumuon, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8flawed is thinking veggie burgers taste like hamburgers. they're not bad, but they're nowhere near as good. kinda like turkey dogs. they're dogs, but they're not beef hot dogs by any means.
        • whistlerpro, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Bean burgers are better than the fake beef ones.
  • holygram, on 10/10/2007, -24/+6No, thank you.
  • homerj14, on 10/10/2007, -27/+21here comes the anti vegetarian/ eat meat comments!
  • ChuckIT, on 10/10/2007, -26/+39fap fap fap
  • Patogrande, on 10/10/2007, -24/+48Let's not help poor and underprivileged children, let's just make sure we don't eat animals.
    • sweetrelease, on 10/10/2007, -11/+23exactly, maybe we should make sure People are treated humanely before we concern ourselves with animals
      • bicyclethief, on 10/10/2007, -8/+24Or we could start doing both at the time. Just a crazy idea...
        • norman619, on 10/10/2007, -7/+8Nope. That's a stupid idea. One provides my body with nutrients I need to live the other I'm morally obligated to do. I will eat the animal products AND save a human. Can't loose either way!
          • bicyclethief, on 10/10/2007, -5/+9Too bad animals aren't the only source of nutrients.
            Humans are animals too. You'd only be extending your moral obligations to other species.
          • noahhoward, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4There is no natural reason to not eat humans, bycicltheif. The natural human diet consists of meat and veg.
        • whistlerpro, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2We could do both, you sir, are smart.
      • bashar129, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8On my way to U of M this morning there was a squirrel that had been hit by a car but not dead yet on the road....I did my part to put him out of his misery...Just don't put any starving homeless children in the middle of the road.
    • keyboardashtray, on 10/10/2007, -4/+6Right, cuz, ya know, the two are mutually exclusive
      • Patogrande, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9All I'm saying is that this activism could be better spent on stuff that matters more.
        • Rikkochet, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8I think PETA probably thinks they *are* spending their activism on something that matters more.
        • azurechaos, on 10/10/2007, -5/+3Seriously, why is it assumed that if you're passionate about one cause, then you don't give a ***** about any other? If you think activism could be better spent on other stuff, well then by all means get off your ass and do it yourself. Don't judge other people for not doing what you want them to do, especially if you're not even doing it yourself.
        • knetworx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4And WHAT matters more than putting commercials of naked women on television?!
    • illpoint, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5Actually becoming vegetarian does help people. Lots of energy is lost through the transfer from plants to animals to human. Eating plants instead of feeding them to animals creates a higher net food production.
      • nariposa, on 10/10/2007, -3/+4Stop making sense! You will be dugg down until you conform with the meatbots.
    • flangepiece, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0How about we just eat the poor children instead? Two birds, one stone. Sorted.
  • nymphetamine, on 10/10/2007, -15/+106I think it's sad that PETA has to get naked celebrities in order to get a little attention, but whatever, alicia silverstone is still hot and I still don't give a ***** about vegetarian hippies.
    • OBKenobi, on 10/10/2007, -6/+7I've got a cat. Think Alicia will pose naked for me?
      • euphemizeme, on 10/10/2007, -5/+22You've got a cat. You probably wouldn't care if she posed naked for you.
      • reefsurfer226, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13she wont pose naked for you because PETA doesnt want you to even have a pet cat. the bastards
        • rarson, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7...which is why it's so ironic that so many pet owners donate money to PETA. I mean, sure, saving animals is good and all, but a lot of people don't seem to realize how insane PETA really is.

          I'm curious if Alicia does, since she professes to be such a big animal lover. Most animal lovers I know have at least one pet.
    • Mononuclear, on 10/10/2007, -2/+18She stopped being a celebrity a long time ago. This is the first thing I have even heard about her for 10 years.
      • bashar129, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6Does it change the fact that she is freaking hot?
      • broohaha, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Stopped being a celebrity but didn't stop working. She did some theatre over the years and runs her own production company, if I heard correctly.
    • homerj14, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8last thing i remember her in was clueless
      • scallon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Wasnt she Batgirl in the god awful Clooney version?
        • LilJimmyNordin, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Now she's just ***** insane.
        • rarson, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3She was also in Excess Baggage, with Benicio del Toro. It was an okay movie.
    • sealhands, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0is it not sad that every ad on tv, no matter what its for, uses a naked woman. its not just peta.
    • TheSenator624, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It's not naked celebrities, it's naked *female* celebrities. The men participating in this ad campaign aren't naked.

      PETA: Animals are people too, but women aren't!
  • uttles, on 10/10/2007, -8/+82does she still like the bone?
    • bsolidgold, on 10/10/2007, -6/+3No, you've got Alecia confused with Marry Mo.
      • LilJimmyNordin, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7It's Mary Moon, dumbass. Take a lap.
        • carbonfree314, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5You ruined the rhyme scheme; it's a trap!
          • LilJimmyNordin, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Thank you muchly, Adm'ral Ackbar.
            Silverstone should hit the snack bar.
  • shaykai, on 10/10/2007, -23/+62"I am Alicia Silverstone and I have no muscle definition and/or have been photoshopped to all hell"

    Fixed :)
    • norman619, on 10/10/2007, -7/+20LOL!!! Does it make you feel good putting down a woman you have no chance of ever getting? I guess it does. :-)
      • BearinG, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Does it make you feel like you've got a better chance of getting her because you defended her fake picture on digg?
    • Memitim, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7My compliments to the artiste then. She looks right tasty, like a thick, juicy sirloin, cooked low and slow over a cherry wood fire... wait, veggie-wha?
  • bordo, on 10/10/2007, -15/+5oh *****! at first I thought it said "SILVERMAN to pose naked" like sarah silverman, from comedy central, and I was like, "WTF!!?!?" ...weird
    • bashar129, on 10/10/2007, -5/+9No one wants to see that.
      • LilJimmyNordin, on 10/10/2007, -6/+4Speak for yourself, cornholio. Sarah Silverman has more sex appeal and talent in her toenail clippings than Alicia Silverstone has in her whole undernourished body.
        • MarkOfTheDead, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1As long as said toenail clippings are as far from me as possible, I have no qualms.
      • masterdbugger, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7I do
  • DeviantSolution, on 10/10/2007, -8/+1You remember... that chick from the Aerosmith videos. The one making kissy time with Arwen.
  • evileddy60, on 10/10/2007, -23/+92For every animal she doesn't eat.. I shall eat three!
    • xxxana, on 10/10/2007, -6/+2Damn you, I was going to say that :s
    • whatchokesbegin, on 10/10/2007, -7/+5How original. How old are you?
    • itoledo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=sp ...

      • fivestarsoul, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Meat does give you energy just like any other food. Energy comes from the sun which the plants take up which the animals then eat so you go back to Biology. The argument against eating animals has absolutely nothing to do (or at least, shouldnt) with how much energy it provides you with. It's a moral/ethical argument to which there will never be an answer unless we develop some kind of animal thought cap. GL,HF with that.

I think you mean to impress upon us that meat is at the top of the food chain and all of the energy comes from the sun which plants and single celled organisms photosynthesize into a bio-consumable form. For the record, meat is ***** tasty and I have no problem with Vegies if they have no problem with me. Sadly, the latter is often what poses the problem because they have an agenda to push. Go watch Penn and Teller on the subject.

  • HaMMeReD, on 10/10/2007, -17/+67I don't know how many times I need to re-iterate this logic but here it goes again.

    Cows have been domesticated for thousands of years and their survival is dependant on the fact that we eat them. Lets think rationally for a minute, if everyone stopped eating cows you think they'd just let them all go and they'd thrive in the natural wilderness? I don't think so, cows are meat on sticks with virtually no defensive mechanisms whatsoever. If we released them they would just get eaten in the wild and go extinct. So long story short, if you feel bad for domesticated farm animals, keep eating them and keep the demand high to insure their future survival. Vegetarians are inadvertently trying to cause a genocide on domestic farm animals.
    • blueRAP, on 10/10/2007, -11/+6Although you had some good points, I'm just not buying the last sentence.
    • bicyclethief, on 10/10/2007, -23/+10You're suggesting that continued meat eating-- which is a sure death for these domesticated animals-- ensures their survival as a species.

      Idiot.
      • asspants, on 10/10/2007, -5/+18Actually, you're the idiot. His logic makes perfect sense.
        • bicyclethief, on 10/10/2007, -9/+3Here's but one refutation: Domesticated animals have successfully returned to the wild before dumbass.
        • realyst, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Here's one further refutation: cows die if not milked. Yes. That is true. Due to the years of selective breathing, cows over-lactate. They need regular milking. To fail to do so effectively means they get a horrible disease known as mastitis after their utters dry up(which also means they wouldn't be able to feed any offspring).

          They also lack any real suitable natural defense. Hell, a hungry enough chihuahua could take a cow down.

          Pigs can sort of adapt outside a farm, but again, most pigs were bred to have a very high fat content. Compared to their boar brotheren, they'd be *****.

          Chickens are *****. There's no way a chicken would survive in the wild as they are. They barely survive with people watching over them. We bred those for meat and eggs, not intelligence.

          SO unless you plan on making a "farmland animal island" none of these would live more then a short time before befalling a horrible death. And even there: chickens attack each other, the cows will probably get infections and die as stated above, the pigs would become feral and attack each other if not the chickens or their eggs, assuming they even lay any without a properly setup roost.

          The continued propagation of their gene pool relies on us wanting to keep them around.

          'dumbass'
          • bicyclethief, on 10/10/2007, -8/+0You're wrongly assuming the gene pool has to stay stagnant, that domesticated animals must only breed with other domesticated animals.
            I like your farmland animal island idea though.
        • keyboardashtray, on 10/10/2007, -6/+2Ever heard of the mustang, Asshat? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustang_%28horse%29
        • realyst, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Great, one example of an animal species that we bred to help us survive in the wild surviving in an isolated corner of the world.

          I'm sorry....but I mean...seriously...how the ***** does that example refute the logic of ANY of the arguments above. The Mustang HAD A NATURAL DEFENSE. We helped PUT IT THERE. It was never BRED FOR FOOD.

          To compare the mustang to a cow is retarded, even for a hypocritical idealistic ignoramus.

          Read a ***** book, or are you for the ethical treatment of paper products?
          • bicyclethief, on 10/10/2007, -6/+0Domestication isn't a one way street. Animals can be bred back toward "wildness" again just as they've been watered-down. End of argument.
            The ethics of eating animals is another topic...
          • realyst, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Sure, we'll get cracking on that. I'll let you know when my war-cow is finished in a couple hundred years. Then I can introduce it into a place where there are no natural predators(due to the lack of any having existed prior) for war-cows, who 'll take over the local ecosystem and end up destroying many a already wild animal.

            Think further.
          • bicyclethief, on 10/10/2007, -3/+0Could you be anymore of a drama queen?

            Your argument was that domesticated animals could not possibly survive back in the wild. I gave you one possible way that they could: by breeding the domestication out of them. That is all.

            Your eco-destroying war-cow is quite possibly the best strawman ever.
          • realyst, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2"Your eco-destroying war-cow is quite possibly the best strawman ever."

            Then refute it.

            You attempted to use the mustang as an example that all domesticated livestock could be returned to the wild. The example was weak as there are many differences between the mustang and what is generally bred as food.

            You then claimed that, "Well, in that case, let's unbreed them." This, of course, was ignoring both the fact that doing so would take far too long and are still ignoring the re-introduction of what would then become a new organism in -any- ecosystem.

            And now your claiming your original point was the only point you had to make, though you've made three already. And then dismiss the war-cow hypothetical as a straw man without any argument against it short of "Yeah...well...that's not what I meant anyways."

            The vegetarians(well, those who want to release all animals circa PETA) like flaunting themselves as above the omnivorous variety and tend to classify the normal human eating process as barbarous. Yet at no point did I encounter one who could accurately describe their point short of "but pigs can be so cuute". And I've never known an idealistic vegetarian of this sort to stop themselves from swatting an unwanted fly or hiring an exterminator against settling termites.

            At all points, their arguments degrade into either religious nonsense(which is funny, because even as an atheist I know the bible granted Man dominion over all animals, not that I believe this. The bacteria have the real upper hand.), or into statements such as yours, challenging the credibility of the argument without providing any proper rebuttal that isn't just emotion stirring *****.

            I don't mind vegetarians who just don't like meat. That's fine. Not everyone does. But to claim that's its somehow more barbaric to eat meat and/or that all livestock should be let go to rejoin the magical garden of Animal-Eden is facetious.
          • bicyclethief, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1"You attempted to use the mustang as an example that all domesticated livestock could be returned to the wild"

            You might want to scroll down and realize that it wasn't me who brought up the mustang.

            "ignoring the fact that doing so (unbreeding cows) would take far too long"

            Too long for what? So in this hypothetical scenario of unbreeding cows, there's some sort of deadline of practicalness I didn't account for?! ***** me.

            "ignoring the re-introduction of what would then become a new organism in any ecosystem"

            So you're afraid of upsetting some ecosystem when we've already set aside pastures of natural land for large concentrations of domesticated cows to eat, live, and *****? But to play along, how about re-introducing our unbreeded cows back to where other wild cattle already exist?

            Oh, and you can vilify vegetarians as it floats your boat.
          • realyst, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1"Other wild cattle" would decimate the undomesticated ones when it comes to getting the available food and, besides, they wouldn't play nice, being different species and all.

            The undomesticated ones would also be first target for predators.

            And, again, cows die without humans there: period.

            As for length of time, how long do you think it takes to develop a breed without tweaking in the genome? Do you honestly see mankind devoting generations perfecting a cow for no other reason then PETA said so? And during that time, the cows, I assume, would still be 'locked up' and all, which means that many cows will continue to be in or a worse situation as they were at the farm at the first place. So I guess the time limit would be that cow's life if you want it to reap the rewards before dying a death.

            If you did tweak an animal's genome, that means experimentation. Possibly lots of ugly animal testing and bovine death there.

            Again, I'm not sure how completely reworking humanity is going to be any better for the domesticated animals. They'll still die. And many of us will die(those that can't afford to or can't grow the many vegetables required to make such a diet work). You seem to have an abstract idea of "this shouldn't be" to maintain your platform but with no actual thought as to what to do to make it happen and once it happens.

            It's like saying "I will be rich now." without a plan to actually get money.

            And again, I do not vilify vegetarians, but idealistic vegetarians who do it for any other reason other then they don't like meat. Maybe I should call those Petans instead, to be PC and all.
          • bicyclethief, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0This discussion has gotten inane and pointless. I could make up just as many solutions to your blockades to support my argument in this fantastical hypothetical scenario.

            The original poster asserted that we must keep eating domesticated animals to ensure their survival as a species-- which is ludicrous. This is the thinking:

            - People stop eating domesticated animals.
            - Domesticated animals (and eventually their species) die because they can't survive in the wild.

            The logic is bad, period. Think about it. For instance, who's to say they must be released into the wild if they aren't eaten? Eating them and their survivability as a species have nothing to do with each other.

            I don't know what your deal is with vegetarians who don't eat meat as a ethical/moral decision, but that's your problem.

            Let me turn it on you: Why do you eat meat? You do realize you can get all the same nutrients in meat from other sources. Meat doesn't have some magical property you can't get elsewhere. So why eat meat? The fact is, you eat meat because everyone else does and has for a long time. It's what you're used to. There is no other real reason.
          • edicius, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Am I the only one that wants a war-cow now?
      • fivestarsoul, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9No, it's more like the lesser of both evils. We can kill a percentage ourselves but ensure their overall survival as a species in the process, or we can ignore them and just hope that when the lions see the cows munching in a pasture they bestow some compassion for the defenseless quadruped. I'm gonna go ahead and say scenario 2 doesn't work too well.
      • airwalk, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5See also: the resurgence of the American Bison, which is helped along by having a demand for them for consumption, which in turn requires more Bison to meet growing demand, which makes the species as a whole continue to exist and grow.

      Do you honestly believe even the most gung-ho veggie thinks everyone is going to stop eating beef overnight? That there is going to be this massive and immediate stop to meat eating, and that we'll have to find a home for all the cows?
      It is remarkable how the normally left-leaning digg crowd that tries to paint itself as at least semi-intellectual instantly defaults to macho-sounding one liners and retarded misconceptions that might look clever to a 7th grader but I doubt even the posters honestly believe.
      Now I'll make room for another "People Eating Tasty Animals" joke

          Why do vegetarian diets make absolutely zero sense? I could understand if you said it wasn't practical. But since you can get all the nutrients you needed elsewhere besides meat, you are being dramatic and silly.

    • joshcxa, on 10/10/2007, -6/+1Never thought of it like that. Good point
    • Peumaman, on 10/10/2007, -3/+4I agree with you up to a point. Unfortunately with the state of the meat industry, we're not doing these animals any favors by bringing them into the world. I don't have a moral issue with eating the cows if they've lived good cow-lives. The factory farm method ensures that what we're currently doing is much worse than the hypothetical genocide that you envision. We're keeping a species of animals alive to torture them almost every moment of their lives until we finally kill them for meat. The philosopher Peter Singer does a good job of looking at all of this.
    • peacemonkey5, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Farms take up way to much energy, we waste 55,000 gallons of water just to ground one pound of beef. Also there are wild cows, yes the population of the cow will drop, but it doesn't mean that vegetarians are causing the species of the cows to die off.
