In John Varley's Gaea trilogy he put a critter called a smiler in the mix. You can harvest meat off the smiler without killing them, they barely notice it. I wonder why God didn't think of that.

It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

Not a fraud therefore. I may have found a way out of your ethical dilemma. Have you ever been to a zoo? Not a nature preserve or a wildlife sanctuary, but an actual zoo? A lot of them are pretty horrible. Animals in steel cages with concrete floors, nothing approaching their natural habitat, horrible food, and poor sanitation. So - why not bring your gun to the zoo and kill a few of those animals? A fair number of them are clearly suffering both physical and mental anguish and it seems you'd be doing them a favour. I think this idea has merit. You would end the suffering of these poor creatures and wouldn't have to worry about environmental impact. Give it some serious thought. Suggested Menu Items -Chimpanzee Fricassee. -Lion de Lyonnaise -Giraffe Pilaf -Water Buffalo 'Wings' -Polar Bear Éclair -Salmon Moose -Toucan au Vin -Cheetah-On-A-Pita -Puree of Penguin -Raccoon Ragout I hope this helps.

But I guess I'll have to, being in the UK, come with no gun to the zoo and choke the f*cking giraffe to death with my one arm. Thanks. |
