          Having your skin removed and replaced goes beyond being just naked.

      Why stop at "some?" "All" sounds good. If we need a few more lions to finish the job, so be it.

          It's amusing to watch internet mobs gang up on humans over things they didn't care about last week and won't remember next week.

              Internet mobs wanting people to die is disturbing.

              Have you ever ate meat? Didn't an animal die for you?

              Isn't this mob hypocritical?

                Some people don't meet the minimum of human existence criteria.

                Have you ever ate meat?
                I have never eaten lion, nor condoned their being killed for any reason.

                Didn't an animal die for you?
                No. I was forced to divorce her.

                Isn't this mob hypocritical?
                Not as long as we're talking about apples and oranges. Conflating the killing of a lion or rhino to that of a chicken, is bogus.

                That said, I gain no pleasure when thinking of factory farms were millions of animals are slaughtered in the most gruesome way. I feel as if I have sinned against nature and that there is little I can do to atone for my indiscretion against nature other than try to be more thoughtful in my approach to eating animals and as I move forward in life, to do what I can to be less a part of the problem and more of the solution. I know that there's not much that one person can do, but I can only be held responsible and be made to answer for my own actions.

                Just wondering if you are OK? You have been extremely negative in all of your recent post throughout the forum, to the point of some people asking if you are simply trolling. You've never been Mary Poppins, but in the past, even your most douche baggy posts were at least tinged with humor.

                Just so you know that I care if you are OK. If I can help in any way . . . . . . . .

                      • Lions fatally maul poachers who broke into reserve to hunt rhinos

                      Nobody was hunting lions.

                      Your comment earlier said you've "never eaten lion". Ok. What do I do with that info? You still eat meat.




                      I don't understand how people can be mad at other people for killing animals when the same people eat animals.

                        I had no idea that placing someone on 'Ignore' could be so incredibly satisfying. I never thought it was something I would ever do. Once I did it, I was amazed. It was like slathering Preparation H on a throbbing hemorrhoid.

                        Since your wish is my command, I am most happy to oblige you, so you can from this point forward, color yourself, 'gone.' You now have to live with the eternal shame of being considered in the same vein as the other person I have on Ignore. Not sure you can ever live that down.

                        I do hope that you feel better soon. I know that what you are going through is very difficult and colors everything you do or say in deep negativity. I know, because I was there, once. If I can bounce back to become a joyous repository for positivity, then there is still hope for you.

                        In the interim, enjoy talking to yourself. Now, being on the forum is no different for you than the rest of your life.

                        Buh-bye, Bunky!

    well it depends where the poacher part of a gang or organization..or where they poor local desperate to do something to make money to feed their families ..

    living on less than a dollar a day and having a family to feed makes people do thing that are terrible for long term sustainability ..the guys actually doing the poaching tend not to get much money but more than other alternatives ..

    one of the most effective methods has been setting up these preserves and allowing trophy hunting from rich foreigners and turning the locals from poachers to protectors ..because they make more money from the tourists than the poaching .

    but that doesn't sit well with people who generally think people should not kill animals at all ..

    if an animal is ugly and can't be made to taste good on a dinner plate it's probably doomed in the age of man
