Both those industries are tied in with the meat market. If everybody stopped eating meat you would find that these industries really suffered.
You know, you would be the cleverest troll we've ever had, if you were clever and your posts anything more than just mildly irritating crap.
Yes, yes, I know you think I'm a troll. To be brutally honest, you're not the sharpest knife in the draw.
It was skive who suggested that if we stopped eating meat all the sweet little moos moos and baa baas would dispapear.
I thought it was bollocks then, and I think its bollocks now.
So you'd be taking you nipper to the zoo to see a cow or a pig.
There are intensive farmign methods which need to be sorted but otherwise the animals I see don't have a bad life.
So what about the little pigs then?
And we do sell ponies for meat BTW.
Oh, people would still keep pigs, cows and sheep.
It just isn't as simple as you made it out to be.
Intensive meat farming is horrible - and mostly hidden from the toddlers anyway.....
Why?
Because they like pigs. And for leather.
The battery farms would all disappear though, which would be nice.
Cow hunting!
You're just being silly now
According to the Rare Breeds Survival Trust pigs can play a specialist role in forestry work:
ABC reports that scientists have used pigs to test the toxicity of sites.
Anyway, in all seriousness, how often exactly do you see pigs out and about?
i would be more worried about all the other crap parents are feeding their kids, everything in the shops these days is refined and almost useless to your body.......
All the time.
Well, thats nice. I have to say that I've very rarely seen them in fields, though I see shitloads of cows and sheep. Perhaps they're more prevalent where you live?
I dont generally take him to farms to see cows and pigs, I dont see what the neccesity is of children seeing every type of animal in real life. Zoos are entertainment, not necessary or even desirable really.
How can there be so much brilliance in one poster?

I agree with him a lot, yet noone calls me a troll.
He doesn't like my politics..... or my snappy one liners
:impissed:
I'd be up for it........
I just think it's sad if they only ever get to see a sheep or pig in a picture book.
But killing a cow with your bare hands might take a bit of effort.
most zoos already have a section for domestc animals. Its my sons favourite bit stroking the sheep.
more research to show how health benefits of meat eating is a kind of swings and roundabouts thing http://my.webmd.com/content/article/99/105158.htm
