Any Vegetarians/Vegans here?
RE: Any Vegetarians/Vegans here?
Oh, no problem. I always inject nastiness and creepiness into every post I see on here. More fun that way.

If you were responsible for foraging, growing and/or harvesting all your own food, your caloric needs could scarcely be met on a vegan/vegetarian diet. It's hard work, if you're doing it all on your own. How lucky and luxuriant we are, to live in a place where we don't even have to confront the reality of this need if we choose not to.

People who have grown too far from their own food sources no longer understand this. But some of us were raised with farming in our background and prefer to do as our grandparents did. I guess they were all psychopaths, too.
I meant you wrote that post like you enjoyed slaughtering and watching the animals being slaughtered. Or rather, I read it that way. It amused me to read it like that.

I'm sorry, but you're full of shit. Pitbulls have been bread to fight - they will fight other dogs to the death. To the death. What makes you think they would value human life above the lives of their own species? They're significantly more likely to attach children then any other breed, they're more likely to attack other dogs, and they're more likely to attack any human. A pitbull has no place in civilized society.

Bread? You are so ignorant.
Some lines have been bred to fight, you can breed a lab to fight. You know not all the does that are bred in those lines are aggressive or dominant enough to fight. They are use to what is call bait dogs. The tend not to fight back to much and are force to get mauled or killed by the other dogs. The fighting ones are beaten and are socialized with other dogs. You know any breed can be aggressive to other dogs when they are not socialized enough as a puppy.
The media lies, or withholds a lot of information in their articles to get attentions. Britney Spaniels, huskies, labs,and Goldens have also been in the papers for biting and/or killing. The media just didn't put the breed name in the headline.
"Pit Bulls" where once called nanny dogs before the media got bored with pointers, rottweilers, and German Shepherds,then turn on pits, because a few idiots like their muscles and wanted to see them fighting. They are very people friendly and have high good temperament test ratings.
Often times the pit bull is guessed as the wrong breed, a lot people really don't know what a pit really looks many assume because it is big and muscles its a pit or it shows aggregation its must be a pit. That is completely wrong! Can you find the pit pull? http://www.bulladelphia.org/understandab...tbull.aspx

All dogs bite, show aggression, and are dominant and/or submissive. I have been around many pit pull/bully dogs. My mom owns two pit mixes. I have seen more aggressive labs then pit pulls and that is because idiots think that a lab can to no wrong.

Oreo's are vegan, or at least that what the documentary "Vegeducated" said. Cookie Sign

I made vegan cookies before, for a fundraiser, they are good.

I agree with storybook mostly. I think pit bulls are more inclined to be aggressive than other dog breeds due to the characteristics we bread into them. However, I think genes pale in comparison to the effect of the environment, how the dog is treated etc. If a pitbull is treated well, it is no more likely to be aggressive than any other dog. The only reason pitbulls are demonised is because they are used in dog fighting and they are actually capable of seriously hurting other people. There is no campaign to ban any of the little yappy dogs are there?

The reason pitbulls are demonised is that they sometimes eat neighborhood children, and this is frowned on in our culture. The number of fatalities caused by little yappy dogs is limited to their capacity to annoy and distract-- while you walk in front of a bus or something; but that's a different order of fault than a torn jugular.

My family had a pitbull for about a decade. Gordon was his name. Oh, how we loved him. He was so loving to us and always protected the home by barking confidently, yet reasonably, when people passed by. He never harmed anybody and was well trained to follow certain rules. In fact, he helped us train other puppies. If the puppy tried to leave the house or go potty in the wrong area, Gordon would kindly pick the pup up with his mouth and place it where it should be. The pups loved him and slept under his belly. Never ever did he cause any problems.
