Yeah, mortality rate is important to me with regards to things like Cattle and Chicken...mostly because I need to be sure both are completely dead before I get them and not just a little dead. So make my mortality rate 100% please! <br /><br />The mortality rate they throw around is asinine and means nothing other than to give cute little ducks that human like quality anti meat eaters crave in all animals. So that one day herds of wild cows and gaggles of geese can all live in harmony upon this great earth.... <br /><br />They forget predation happens everywhere in the wild... If I had the money I'd send all the PETA and other "We want to tell you what you can eat" groups to the middle of Africa, and let them walk around for a few weeks to illustrate my point.Pavlovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16211091650412970845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629921421983294151.post-15625909765829821612012-05-24T16:47:06.552-04:002012-05-24T16:47:06.552-04:00"...mortality rates for force-feed ducks are ..."...mortality rates for force-feed ducks are 10 to 20 times higher than those for non-force fed ducks.”<br /><br />This breaks me up laughing. I don't know about anyone else, but I've never been served a live duck for dinner. I believe that would make the mortality rate equal, whether force fed or non-force fed. He's still attempting to use emotional blackmail by resorting to colorful and creative statistics. <br /><br />No, it can't be intellectual blackmail. It wasn't an intelligent claim.Noeleen Clearyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214001603008439753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629921421983294151.post-12929011581000502942012-05-24T16:21:25.534-04:002012-05-24T16:21:25.534-04:00The fact that he chose the topic Foie Gras, and di...The fact that he chose the topic Foie Gras, and didn't know what it was.... should have been reason enough to have the article pulled Roddy.<br /><br />The fact that Spence didn't voluntarily retract the whole story just goes to show he is too ignorant to know when he is being a dipshit. I think it just goes to prove my point that most people who think they are against foie gras, are that way because of some tired propaganda footage shown over and over again....and they find it so disturbing they never bother to look into the matter on their own.<br /><br />They accept it as gospel and start spouting off on something they don't know anything about...I think another thing that's sad, is that the host site didn't have a thing to say about the idiot's story.<br /><br />Credibility means everything... and if you lower your standards just once. Just for the sake of having something there, even if it's not right just ONE SINGLE TIME.... it becomes your new standard... What starts out as a Finely made Monte Cristo, just turns into another tired old Shit sandwich.Pavlovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16211091650412970845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629921421983294151.post-83161634681607155262012-05-24T16:00:14.507-04:002012-05-24T16:00:14.507-04:00By Spencer's logic any food we ate for reasons...By Spencer's logic any food we ate for reasons beyond sustenance would be for hedonistic pleasure. Whether that be foie or really tasty tofu.<br /><br />Bad writing and a cowardly way to handle the responses. If you're going to write about a hot-button topic, you have to be prepared to take some criticism, especially when you've done such a shitty job of it.Rodzillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217934585720560358noreply@blogger.com
