[kj] (OT)turtles

[Elana Mojica]

I love hamburgers but some people consider cow's sacred

I know people that eat squirrels (sorry Aleph haha)

People eat frog's legs

There is a difference in killing for food and abusing animals

 Huh?  Ever known a Polish person?  Blood soup is quite popular, and that is how it is done (slashing the jugular).  Please let us not devolve into a "well, primitive people treat animals this way, while civilized people treat animals humanely".  Visit a local slaughterhouse if one has any questions.  I assume everyone here is a herbivore to have such strong feelings about "violence towards animals"?

 If it was primitive people hunting and eating turtles as a staple diet, then I could accept that .
   But I feel that Gregs family doing that to a turtle wasn't for nutritional purposes , it sounds like it was done for entertainment and killing animals for entertainment is sickening .

I'm very opened minded about cultures, but that's beyond the pale to me.

That is inhumane and quite vile .
The way Asians in general treat animals is quite disgraceful .(Apart from Cows in India)

 SPeaking of, when I was in Vietnam (August) w/my wife's family, we went to a large seafood restaurant and her male relatives drank blood from a turtle that had it's throat slit at the table!! No joke--I have a pic to prove it.
