Tuesday:

Tuesday: it feels like I have a child!!! just no messy diapers,which is cool!!!

Is a moning bird! OMG he is up at 5 am EVERY MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!! We go to bed about 10pm...up about 1 am to pee...then back to bed,up at 4 am to pee,then I get him to lay back down till about 5 am when it is not only time to pee,again,but poopsie and eat breakfast.I cannot wait for his bladder to grow and for him to like sleep more then play,LOL!!!! Honestly though,I am enjoying him in all his puppiness while I can,I can sleep in 6 months,lol.

That was just to funny lol

BerniceC: LOL I agree!!

Tuesday: awwwww...bless his lil heart....Love a pussy that sticks up fer hisself....he actually is a nice looking cat...I hope he gets the sherriff hehehehe

Gemina: I agree with that. I think it's a terrible thing. I didn't know it was still going on.

No I am not being literal, I just think the people that are doing this needs to stop and realize what they are doing, sorry if that other one came out wrong.

ScarletRose: Proves men don't have feelings or remorse?

Which gender wears the furs?

There's plenty of blame for both genders. And let's not forget the driving force: $$

Gemina: I agree with your feelings too but you can't literally mean it. If someone actually did the "eye for eye" thing in this situation, they would be worse than those that club the seals.

There are a lot of villians in issues like this.

Tuesday: notice how they are men?? Guess that proves they don't have any feelings or remorse.. I think it is outright sick.. it is wastefull and I would like to be able to be on a boat hunting them down..

Gemina: no..2 wrongs dont make a right.

I say do the same thing to those who are doing it to the poor animals, What is good for the goose is good for the gander right?!?!

Tuesday: I agree....if they will do this to animals with no remorse or feeling bad about it...what would they do to a person?

ScarletRose: I was thinking the same

anastasia: Okay.. this is getting too much.. these poor animals. Man.. just too sad..

Rose: I agree with you 100% Rose.Fur is not cool because they kill the animal just for the fur...leater coats,at least they are using the entire cow...no wasting it.It sickens me that they are killing these baby seals and skinning them and then just leaving the bodies,whales and sharks feed on these animals and they are loosing their food source as well.I have heard that other countries that produce fur coats add dogs fur into them and they will skin puppies alive because it keeps the skin "plump" and will produce a better coat...the pups are left to die on their own.

Kipling: not so much a season,as there is alot of killing between us now,but a better practice on birth control,yep,I do...you can't tell me that the human population isn't over populated.

That is so sad :(

anastasia: by your reasoning..perhaps humans should have a season as well? lets discuss the bag limit..

What surprises me is the amount they kill. I know they say part of it is to keep the population down because they are eating up a huge amount of the fish supply. Fur coats are just about banned here. Folks are so looked down on if seen wearing them that I havent seen one in years cept on lil old ladies that have had the same mink for 40 years.
Must be sold some where other than here.
I also dont get why these hunters dont take the meat but just leave the carcass'(sickening and sad to see that). If they are going to hunt then at least take the meat and use it/sell it. And no I dont condone how they do the hunting before someone gets nasty at me about my comment.

anastasia: OMG!! I have never heard such a thing.. how awful!!

anastasia: I know its terrible, it was on Sky News over here this morning.

The Cruel Seal Hunt Has Begun
Canada's annual seal hunt, the largest commercial slaughter of marine mammals on the planet, began at dawn on Saturday. Even as you read this, fishermen are clubbing baby seals in the North Atlantic, just to earn a few extra bucks by selling seal skins. Last year, 98.5% of the seals killed were two months of age or younger—and veterinary reports indicate that many seals have been skinned while still conscious and able to feel pain. Our ProtectSeals team is now in Canada, braving the frigid waters to document the hunt and show the world why this unconscionable cruelty must be stopped. http://stream.realimpact.net/?file=realimpact/hsus/2006-seal-hunt/hunt_day_one.wmv&type=wmv

anastasia: Couldn't have said it any better Anastasia AMEN!

Gemina: Hunters had a big protest awhile ago against the animal rights people showing them that without hunting the diesease would overcome the deer and make them suffer.Believe it or not..where Gemina and I grew up people DO hunt for food to get thier families through the winter...it was a VERY poor town where we lived and not many people had good paying jobs(that's why we got the hell out of there,lol) but,I don't agree with people that hunt for tropheys,and stuff like that.They talk about over population but seems to me God had a good plan for these animals to begin with..natural selection,survival of the fitest,that sort of thing.Man has eaten animal pretty much from the beggining,ok,we have farms and stuff for that but just to go shooting something for the sake of shooting it,or to "better" the hunting of ANOTHER species,just stupid! Hunters are worried about animal overpopulation...what about human population that are booming and destroying everything that we come into contact with just because....

BerniceC: ;) sounds good

Groucho: actually i dont mind tofu...crumbed and deep fried in olive oil....not too bad ROFL

BerniceC: It's practically vegitarian! ;) Plus there's Tofu too

Groucho:ewwwwwwwwwwwww....spam

BerniceC: Lots of good spam recipies too ;)

ScarletRose: Mac.....yuk
cheese...yummy
*******edit*******

anyway a 1/4 pounder and cheese is nearly $5...better to buy 1/2lb minced beef ROFLMBO

BerniceC: Hello Mac and Cheese! LOL

Im seriously thinking of becoming a vegetarian on account of it is getting harder and harder to be able to afford the prices they are asking for meat/fish/chicken etc....now after the cyclone the other day that wiped out a very large area of vegetable/fruit farms the prices of fruit and vegies has skyrocketed:(...for example bananas were about 98c - $1.50 per kilo (1 kilo = 2.2 lbs) and they are very fast heading to $10 per kilo...lettuce are nearly $4 each...tomatoes are $6 per kilo...I could go on but it is never ending. I guess you eat what you can afford when you dont have a large disposable income.

very interesting website
