Perhaps we all could share some of that Bex around! (Actually, I need to get off Nick's and do some work.) I do encourage posters to use the report function if they feel that something goes against the rules; it's not like I'm the only one who looks at it!

The eating of meat pies and hot dogs is hardly a niche hobby of the wealthy and (pseudo) intellectual, certainly in our culture.Morrigu wrote:I understand that pseudo intellectuals and people who think humans are way more important and deserving to life than animals....
I'm not taking a position on meat eating, just pointing this out.

Yeah, but 2 small points.
1. Killing domestic animals for food is hardly comparable with killing endangered species to use body parts for bogus vanity medicines.
2. China and the USA seem to have quite different understandings of what a "Hot Dog" is.

^I was just responding to what was said. Does Morrigu hold that distinction?
Obviously those who partake of this quackery don't think it's bogus, though. Those sorts of beliefs take a few generations to die out. You still find dog restaurants tucked away in Seoul backstreets even though they're technically illegal.

I won't speak on behalf of Morrigu, but reference to the Rhino horn being made of fingernails, yet they're killed for bogus beliefs, quackery as you called it, that the WHO has apparently endorsed by legitimizing traditional Chinese medicine?pietillidie wrote:^I was just responding to what was said.
