What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

People are weird about killing animals.

"At Christmas my family and I gather around a baked chunk of dead pig that was killed with a captive bolt to the brain."

"Filming the death of a pig shot in the head at point-blank range is condemnable."

There are reasons for that, but I worry that going into detail could easily derail us into "not appropriate for the forums" territory, so maybe it's best left at that.

Killing animals for food or to control the population is something I can understand. But in Cannibal Holocaust, it's just for a movie.

According to the director, the animals killed in making the movie were eaten. Except, probably, the tarantula.

It’s also just a terrible, boring movie.

Also, I largely agree with you. People are too disconnected now from their food. I am not a vegetarian, but I think it’s important for people to understand that, for them to eat meat, an animal had to die. I don’t expect people to give up meat entirely, but it may make them rethink their habits a bit. (Also, I think we’d eat more goose meat because, seriously, geese are a**holes.)

As an animal lover and pet owner, I kind of get where vegans and vegetarians are coming from when they say it's wrong to eat meat. At the same time, I also realize that most animals in nature kill and eat other animals and don't have a crisis of conscience over it. That's just nature. The food chain is what it is.

Like I think it's weird how some people hunt and kill animals for fun, but just when I feel like getting preachy about what jerks hunters are...I remember that I like cheeseburgers so I'm not much better than them

Plus, overpopulation and invasive species sometimes make hunting necessary...and I guess survival too if you just happen to live somewhere pretty far removed from civilization.

I guess I'm just rambling now.

I think we should kill and eat the director and see how he feels about that.

He wouldn't, that's how he would feel about that.

And I am NOT a creepy uncle. I'm a COOL uncle.

He wouldn't feel anything. He passed away ages ago.

I don't know. It's only been about 10 1/2 months. If he's been in a freezer since then he should still be edible.

You could even potentially dry age him that long, but I wouldn't.

Reminded of this clipping from a SF news paper:

That's why I broke out my Zombie vs Shark hoodie and my jeans ages ago. But a few times it's yo-yo'd between shorts weather and jeans weather. I hope it cools off and stays there. I was sick of summer shortly before it officially started!

God, I find it so fucking funny I know the exact jacket you're talking about at this point because you apparently only own one.
