"How do you not understand? Humans are in the animal kingdom. We are primates. Humans, most will agree, are on the top of the "pecking order". Domesticated dogs and cats, apes, horses are just below humans, while cows, pigs, and chickens are nearer to the middle. Bugs, fish, etc. are generally put at the bottom of the "pecking order". You see, either humans and all other animals are equal (no), or they're not all equal. But suggesting that the lives of all non-human animals have the same value while only human life is valued more, doesn't make sense.... That notion is just anthropocentric hogwash."

agreed. Except I think horses should be with cows, pigs and chickens. (I've never eaten one, but they are herbivores)

. Kill an animal: +1 Man Points per pound

Animals are meant to be killed by human men. It doesn’t matter if you’re going to eat them or stuff them full of candy and play a practical man-joke on kids. Shoot a pig, buy a fur, send a dog to the pound, it doesn’t fucking matter. As long as you killed for reasons that fall between providing a slight convenience and “yucks”, you did the right thing.

Because really, what more noble goal is there than providing slight convenience?

Animals are just like computers. They have no soul and no mystical sense of anything beyond what goes in their stomachs. “Animal rights” is a profitable misnomer invented by women just like every other “humanitarian” movement that all follow one simple theme:

Bitches will get uncomfortable if they can’t feel the end of their leash.

Women are like dogs. If they can’t feel you yanking on their emotional leash and telling them to calm the fuck down about shit they don’t understand, they’ll lose their goddamn minds. Have you ever met a woman who was a humanitarian crusader? Did she seem happy to you? No. She seemed wound up tighter than Tex Avery at a tit factory.

Do her a favor. Aim for the stray cat.

It really sucks that he got out on bail, even not getting into how terrible what he did was, he's far more dangerous than someone who steals a car but was restrained for a much shorter time. He was clearly making animals suffer for fun and will probably move on to children as soon as he feels he can get away with it.

1/8/2009 1:08:47 PM

you people need to take the fucking cork, out of your asses.

yes, because everyone who abuses animals eventually moves on to children...

I don't know about your convoluted pecking order thing, but I think we both agree that this guy is a psychopath. So you probably misunderstood my post.

Update on the story:

Quote :

"Man accused of animal cruelty says he wants to be taxidermist Posted: Today at 2:01 p.m. Updated: Today at 6:10 p.m. Fremont, N.C. — A Fremont man facing three misdemeanor animal-cruelty charges said that he is studying taxidermy and that the allegations cost him his job. Wayne County sheriff's deputies arrested Lawton McKenzie, 28, of Old Black Creek Road, Tuesday after animal control officers said they found the remains of several dozen animals in house Dec. 3. Among the items found at the home was what appeared to be a puppy's head in a plastic bag, authorities said. McKenzie said the animal was already decapitated when he found it on the side of the road. McKenzie denied killing any animals and said he is an animal lover. Last fall, McKenzie said he began picking up the carcasses of animals – including deer, turtles and owls – killed by vehicles, hunters or natural causes. He uses guides to taxidermy and pioneers' survival techniques to teach himself. He often turns polished animal bones into ornaments. McKenzie said he doesn't see the difference between collecting dumped carcasses from the side of the road and killing and shooting animals while hunting. “All of the animals … being left on the side of the road or left in the middle of the road, why don’t we do something with that? It could be used as a learning tool,” McKenzie told WRAL News on Thursday. McKenzie said it bothered him to see the bodies of dead animals on the side of the road. "The animals are dead. People don't have any regards for the animals. Let it be a human being and you keep rolling over it," he said. He keeps some animal parts, such as a turtles' shells, to polish and use as household decorations, McKenzie said. He raises goats, turkeys and chickens and slaughters them himself for food. He also breeds dogs to sell. Investigators removed 26 living animals from the house, including a dying goat, officials said. It was rushed to a local veterinarian's office and survived. McKenzie told WRAL News that when he is done with a carcass he burns the remains. He said he is no different than a farmer or a hunter. After news of the allegations broke, McKenzie said he was let go from his job at Sunshine Rest Home in Fremont. He also operates his own lawn-maintenance business, Handy Man's Handy Man. He said he can understand why a modern society might view this as bizarre. "They don't even know where their eggs come from," he said. "They think it's cloned eggs. Where does your chicken come from? Where does your beef come from?" "

That still doesn't explain the starving goat but okay.

I have. They're quite tasty. America's missing out.

1/8/2009 8:28:41 PM

only reason we don't eat horse is because they were more valuable as transportation/draft animals back in the day

1/8/2009 8:34:45 PM

does horse meat taste better than cow meat?

1/8/2009 8:39:32 PM

also, this is pretty typical fremont retardation

1/8/2009 8:42:39 PM

we dont eat horse meat cause it causes retardation?

1/8/2009 8:43:46 PM

no, the dude in the story was from fremont. it's close to where i'm from.

1/8/2009 8:44:52 PM

Horse reminds me more of deer meat than cow meat.

1/8/2009 8:45:13 PM

i had deer sausage once and thought it was gross...but maybe the person didnt make it right or the deer had cancer or something

1/8/2009 8:50:59 PM

Don't they have to mix pork and beef into deer sausages?

1/8/2009 8:57:33 PM

usually pork fat is mixed in deer sausage and beef fat is mixed in deer burger

It's a fucking goat. they should have shot it before the goat ate their gun and utility belt.

Also, to the person who made a comment about fat goats tasting better than emaciated goats: have you ever skinned, prepared, or cooked a goat? Even the scrawniest looking goat is nothing but fat and ribs when you cut it open. I've never understood an animal that walks around that much and eats trees and other seemingly inedible trash can be so fat.

if this guy was really just stuffing road kill and animals that he had killed for food, i really don't see the issue.
