Horse Racing is Cruel

That's ER's ****ing material sorted for tonight.

 

I have re read it an dit was more of a question than a statement, at leat that was the intent. I missed out the second question mark

Have you read the Study by Cranfield University?

The results showed that the amount of foreign land required to produce the substitute products – and the potential destruction of forests to make way for farmland – outweighed the negatives of rearing beef and lamb in the UK.

A lot of the time because it is on foreign soil, its not seen as an issue

Its a bit like Cameron saying tax planes because of the environment then sending hundreds of fighter planes (bigger carbon footprint) to Iaq, Afghanistan and Libya to bomb the bejeezus out of them, using radioactive nuclear weaponary no less.

Thats all I am saying, if anything they are equally bad

 

So, if the same beef and lamb 'substitute products' would require 'foreign land' - so what the **** are you saying?

 

what ? speak english boy

 

But that would assume that all the beef and lamb eaten in the UK was reared in the UK.

 

Have you also read studies of greenhouse gasses?

this part of the study was in context to UK farming, you need to read it all to get a good idea of what they are saying, including the theory that if UK farming collapsed it would move abroad and the potential for less checks and safety measure so could be more damaging

 

If it was a choice of ****ing off to Flossie or porking a fat hairy munter like yourself fannyflap face the sheep would win every time.

 

sorry didnt understand your question in your post before this one

The green house argument I have heard before too, however Meat substitutes were also found to be highly processed, often requiring large amounts of energy to produce

 

thefanwitnoname I'm sorry but you have no substance to your argument.

 

I like horse racing.

I like eating steak too

 

Congratulations, you have a penis.

 

why? because you dont agree?

i should ignore studies because you say so?

no wonder you are picked on on here

 

Thank you ST - I couldn't see it with my hanging belly and it being very small.

 

Dunno about cruel. But horse-racing sure as hell is BORING AS ****!

 

I'm not picked on I just have a crew of morons that follow me about

So what is your argument then? Explain to me how vegetarianism is worse for the environment than meat-eating. And not just a couple of off-topic examples, give me a structured argument and I'll answer you.

 

veg eaters fart methane more than meat eaters, you toby are killing the planet

 

You're a tedious ****ing pedant - can I point your way to a recent UN report, clearly stating the enormous global benefits of adopting a vegan diet, another study, stating the environmental benefits in requesting Americans not to eat meat just one day each week.

There is a global dimension here you stuck up knob.

 

You do get picked on you loud mouth bigot.
