| 1386373 | 2014-10-17 07:15:00 | I was listening to NewstalkZB as I was driving yesterday around 3.45pm. The subject wasVegans and how firm they were in their resolve. A woman rang up and was saying how strongly vegan her husband was. No meat of course, fish, milk, honey, no down duvets, wool carpet,etc! The reasoning was that man was taking advantage of animals and that was against the principles of Vegans.Apparently we steal the honey from bees when they are out working. My thoughts were that he would be a real pain in the bum to live with. It was with some amusement I saw that they were going to use 200litres of lanolin to grease the turning of Alice the tunnel boring machine in Auckland. My questionis... would he refuse to drive through the tunnel because a forbidden product had been used in the construction? Ken :) |

I spent my school holidays in the Graham Valley in a woolshed as a rouser and my hands were nice and soft like a babies. So he could drive thru the tunnel without guilt. Most of these vegos are the whole hamper short of a picnic their lift does not go the top floor and they are sickly and prone to sickness. Had a vego pommy ex RN PTI on our ship HMNZS Waikato always sick. The prick was always whinging as well. |

The reasoning was that man was taking advantage of animals and that was against the principles of Vegans.Apparently we steal the honey from bees when they are out working. He should refuse if he wants to stick to his principles. Prefect - it's not about killing the animal - it's about using anything animal based. So this nutter sticks to synthetics then.....and that stuffs the environment - thus affecting the poor wee animals. Hypocrite - or just thick probably. And other animals (and insects) use each other, eat each other, steal each others food. A bunch of humans not joining in won't make a lot of difference. SOme quotes to muse over: Save a tree - eat a beaver. If we aren't supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat? |
