You haven't said anything on the subject, but I hope you don't advocate the murder of babies in the womb, or that would just be *too* ironic all on its own. :)

That's what I thought. Ovo vegetarians eat eggs. Ovo-lacto vegetarians also drink milk. What kind of vegetarian eats fish, anyway?

> > I realise that 'murder' is a no-no word for many. None the less, the harsh reality is that, yes, it is natural for humans to 'murder' animals for food (and plenty of other things). Get used to it, 'cause I dare say you wouldn't be alive if this were not the case.

Oh, you mean the traditional kosher method of killing, where they make a straight cut for the sciatic(sp?) nerve, killing it instantly, or nearly so, and certainly a lot faster than bludgeoning it.

Tiger farms. Hmm... well, it's possible that tiger meat could become popular. Just don't expect me to purposefully buy tiger meat.
