I used to be a big fan of Peperami. In fact any type of salami meat did it for me but lately after seeing a documentary about how donkeys find their way into salami I just can't face eating it. Anyway every time I go shopping I am so tempted to buy Peperami but as I get close to paying for it I change my mind. i wonder if there is some sort of help group i could join.

I promise you I seen a documentary and it showed how donkey meat is used to make salami. Do you remember when the donkeys were being stolen from Blackpool beach to be eaten, well it was around that time the documentary was made.

Without meaning to be a preachinng veggie, how is eating donkey any worse than eating cow or pig?
Meat eaters would probably say because pigs and cows are especially bred for eating (or milk).

I love the way this post is heading........
"Meat eaters would probably say because pigs and cows are especially bred for eating (or milk)."
Yes, and a pretty shameful thing intensive breeding is too.
However, if any vegetarian tells me it is wrong to eat meat, "meat is murder", etc , I have to ask why?
Just because you can't hear vegetables cry, how do you know they aren't in "pain"?
That lion on the African plain, sits there eyeing up the gazelle, thinking " I really should change my eating habits, what am I doing to those poor animals?"
If you tell me 'Ah, but they are less intelligent creatures who don't know any better", well you provide the meat-eater's answer.
Maybe animals were not put on the planet to be killed and eaten by humans, but until some higher authority tells me different...........

As I was brought up I ate beef, pork, chicken and lamb. I rode on Donkeys at Blackheath! I couldn't then eat them!

How do I know vegetables can't feel pain Paulham? Where do you think the phrase 'vegatitive state' comes from?
And you're right, lions don't know any better - and by saying that gives meat eaters their answer, you've basically descirbed them as 'less intelligent creatures...'

Not just meat eaters. Humans in general.

There is a stereotypical urban myth that Chinese takeaways use dog meat, donkey meat etc, in their food. The evidence for this is non-existent.
Thank god the evidence is non-existant. This whole post has been a bit distressing. Think I am too child like in my beliefs!
Post by: loulou on November 30, 2004, 04:22:51 pm
choc chick do not worry i have friends who have a chinese restaurant and trust me there's no donkey, cat, anything like that used. They use a lot of chicken, beef, pork and duck so its ok.
Post by: loulou on November 30, 2004, 04:23:40 pm
Aah, but when have you ever seen a family with a cat living next door to a takeaway...?
Loads of times.
Post by: smurfboy on November 30, 2004, 04:36:00 pm
I was being somewhat facetious - I didn't actually expect you to survey local takeaways!

You don't want to do that! They use CHICKEN in the ingredients!
Post by: chocolate chick on December 01, 2004, 02:43:40 pm
That's ok, chicken is fine with me.
