Oh, I know all that, especially the stuff about carrier pigeons... but trust me, if you've ever lived in NY, you'd never eat a pigeon, doesn't matter the type or anything. Once they've crapped up those statues and sidewalks... the last thing you would ever want to do is put one anywhere near your mouth. But again, it's a cultural thing. To some people they're great to eat... to others, not so much. To each their own, lol.
I don't know. I've worked around cows and seen the kinds of messes they make. They're pretty dirty, but I still eat beef. (Maybe it's because they annoyed me while I was trying to do my research, I was happy to go home and eat one ) _________________ I don't have a lot of experience with vampires, but I have hunted werewolves.

Well, like I said, to each their own. I've seen cows and farms and all that... it didn't stop me from eating steak and burgers or anything. But pigeons are another story. That's just my preference, though. _________________

Thank you, I'm glad that you finally understand pretty much where I'm coming from.
Hopefully we each get the other on this subject, now.
On the subject of strange delicacies . . . This season on survicor, they are in Micronesia. Those people eat beat stew! OMG, it is sooo grodie-looking. It's literally whole bats just cooked in vats of water. They they have their hair and eveything! James, the grave-digger, loves that stuff. He rips the skins off and then chows down on it. _________________
I've actually spoken to a vegetarian on-line once and asked why they chose not to eat meat. They had responded "because we don't like killing animals. We eat and drink what the earth gives us." I didn't question there belief anymore after that but I thought about it. I feel like that answer was very hypocritical because plants too are living things. They don't want to kill to eat yet they still do it in another way ?
Plants don't have consciousness, and I think that's the moral difference between killing plants and killing animals. _________________

FM, we have axplained this at least five time in this thread, but people with this "plants are living" arguement refuse to let that sink in, apparently. _________________

Mmm, tasty rabies vector species. I guess the heat would kill the virus if any bats were infected (if there is even rabies in Micronesia). Since rabies vaccines are made with heat-killed virus, maybe eating bat stew would make you immune to rabies _________________ I don't have a lot of experience with vampires, but I have hunted werewolves.
