Have you guys noticed that you never hear about Butchers or Ranchers
or Meat-Packers going nuts and killing anyone? It's always city
people with office or fast food jobs.
You know why that is? It isn't because they strangled squirels as
kids.
The problem that is breeding rampant anti-meat propaganda isn't
our renewed connection with the earth. It is the total disconnection
these people have with nature in its raw form.
Farm people, good country people, see people as special from the
animals. They kill animals every day, to survive, to get by
because it is part of their life style.
It is the City kids, raised on Disney and allegorical stories that
use humaniform animals to make points about HUMAN nature that see
animals as little people. They identify with the animal's pain as
human pain. They were sick by the time the got to the animals, they
wanted to hurt something human. They work their way up the scale
in their mind.
People who kill animals as a way of life, in that sort of culture
don't think that way. For them, there is no scale of animal life
Cows and Chickens and Lizards and Turtles and Birds are all just
animals. They get the same respect, loving care, attention, and
blam, killed at the end of summer when it's time for market.
Serial killers teach themselves to kill on animals because they have
been taught that animals are little, feeble-minded humans and they
want to hurt people. Normal people killing animals know the
difference between animals and humans, they don't see them that way
and it doesn't teach them the lesson hinted at in this bit of
propaganda. Serial Killers are our generation's "Nazis". When you
want to cast something as evil, you say just show a "Serial Killer
once did that" and think it's proved.
This is what is called an "a priori" falsehood. You have shown that
one thing procedes another but you have failed to prove that connection
is meaningful. Your argument is presumptive, you started out with
something to prove and worked backward. Try thinking things thru
forward before poluting our mental airspace with such falacies.
Wow I really need to set up a pro-meat website...
