Kurt Zouma and cats 14:11 - Feb 9 with 10341 views | homer_123 | I'm posting this more out of interest as much as anything. What he did was wrong and I've no idea why it was videoed etc. just bizarre. That being said - I eat meat as do those pillorying him - we rear animals to slaughter, in fact we rear them on such a scale that is has devastating effects on the environment. I find it interesting that, on the one hand, electrocuting and/or putting a bolt through an animals head and killing it doesn't seem to raise the same concern/outrage as the events of yesterday. I wonder why that is? |  |

Drop-kicking a cat is, at the least, negligent as to whether pain or injury is caused. * I know it doesn't necessarily turn out that way. |  |

Kicks off with FattyBoomBoom on page 1. Just noticed he told me to watch Dominion. I have watched every second of it. |  |

You're really helping by calling people snowflakes |  |

The core difference seems to be “I ate it or sold it as food afterwards”. Animals love being slaughtered of course though, the whole process causes them no pain or distress at all. Sarcasm not aimed at you of course, just speaking in general. |  |

Probably not, but logic and fact couldn’t cut through the emotive angle, so I had to tug at the heartstrings. |  |

And, of course, cats have no agility...whatsoever. |  |

I sometimes think of you when sitting in my car eating a Costa bacon roll and a seagull lands on the bonnet and watches me. It knows. |  |

I don’t really understand why the thread was locked as I didn’t think it got especially toxic in tone - but that’s not my call to make. Thought it was an interesting debate that raised a few good points. |  | |  |

That was an anti climax. Scrolled down there in anticipation for who you were calling fattyfattyboomboom. Turns out that's his username. |  |

Kurt Zouma and cats on 15:35 - Feb 9 with 2899 views | Vaughan8 | AM I missing something? Please explain because I am lost. Surely these things are different. That's like saying "well cats eat animals so they deserve it". Cats kill birds so we can kick the sh!t out of them. Unfortunately, (for some with this agenda), most cats are pets in our country and many other countries. I've watched programmes where breeders breed too many cats/kittens and where burying them alive to "get rid of them". Am I a hypocrite for thinking that is wrong because I ate a chicken burger 2 days ago? [Post edited 9 Feb 2022 15:38]

I was pondering the question out loud as such. As I said...clearly Zouma was wrong...no question. And Guthers details the answer to the question below. But I would say yes, we are somewhat hypocritical are we not? [Post edited 9 Feb 2022 15:42]

As one of the idiots, I thought it was quite a pleasant an interesting discussion. Not sure why it was locked. |  | |  |

Yes, is the honest answer. Selective animal treatment based on societal value of that animal as a companion/pet. Animal agriculture isn't what the same as the greenwashed photos you see on the advertising. What you do with that information however, that's on you to act. I believe in you :) It's 2022 and veganism has never been easier. It will only get easier too. |  |
