Lamb, while spectator, dies to feed lions.

Crowd cheers.

I dunno. The lions are fed. The lamb would die in a farm anyway.

Maybe they offset the damage by donating to WWF?

Not nearly as bad as so much more out there.

China or North America.

This is silly. Aminals feed on other animals. Is it unfair for us to set it up. Hells ya! But is it weird? No. Is it outside the bounds of nature. No.

I must be missing something here. I'm a 'normal' animal rights activist.

By that I mean, I recognise people eat meat. I boycott companies and practices where animals are made to suffer abnormal amounts of pain or suffer a longer period of time and where animals are wasted.

I think we eat too much meat. I think we waste life. I want to curb this.

But... I don't deny the importance of meat in an animals diet. And we are animals.

The disconnect is that vegetarians want it both ways (for the most part). They want to be above meat, but part of the environmental system.

Sorry. Either we are gods or animals. Can't shake a hand and make a fist.

Let's be god and realize we control the system now. Lets have our meat but use it wisely.

I was kudosing a thread maker 3 weeks ago for showing cruelty in the fur industry and now these stranger stories make it in.

Someone said nuking a cat was the same as eating a hamburger.

Cut out the hyperbole and the self rightousness. PLEASE!

Death is not the same as torture.

Death is not the same as waste.

And one high profile lamb is not the same as ongoing waste that we see every day in various industries.

This has nothing to do with China (though they have a very bad track record)

This is one lamb, unfortunately for it, getting fed to lions. Which would probably eat it anyway.

We feed our dogs, cats and fish.

And ourselves.

No different.

Get off your horses and get back to the real problems.

Stop waste.
