THEN you can safely conclude that it was direct toward you.
The same if I used "knot" instead of "not."
Although it's still possible that a homophonic mistake could slip through now and then. So I guess you'll just have to wonder

Dogs have been bred to the point that they have all sorts of health issues associated with specific breeds and I don't want to support a puppy mill.
1. I guess this could be an indication that I might be more interested in the dog's well being than my desire to have one. And I really would like to get one. Maybe when I'm retired (which isn't in the foreseeable future although I'm close to the age where I could).

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostA quote mine? Seriously? You're better than that.
The source mentions having a calf at its side wrt the cow not having to milk it daily at that point. The quote I gave
After the calf is naturally weaned, a dairy cow may not dry up naturally, so you’ll need to continue to milk daily. You may even need to increase milking to prevent problems.
discusses the cow after the calf has been weaned and how many don't stop producing milk and may need to be milked more often because of it. So no, not all dairy cows dry up.
And I noted that the cow had previously given birth so your sources are irrelevant. The fact remains that many dairy cows continue producing milk long after they gave birth and the calf has been naturally weaned. From the point it gave birth "most dairy cows will produce a good amount of milk for the next 5-6 years" (bolding in original)
If you don't milk them you are allowing the cow to suffer in agony as the udder swells up to the point they have problems even standing, not to mention laying down, and leads to its death either through the udder finally rupturing or through infection.
Again, go talk to actual farmers and stop relying on PETA which actually spreads a joke started on 4Chan that drinking milk is a symbol of white supremacy as being the truth. They are not an honest source and will openly lie to push their agenda.

I don't think you quite understand how you just shot your own position in the foot.
Humans have a responsibility to protect one another from such "animal" behavior.

PETA has, on the whole, had far more effect worldwide on reducing the abuse, mistreatment, of animals, than the Humane Society. So why not both? Both is fine.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostWe are completely consistent on this. We've had members post just those type of images in the past and they were also taken down even though, AFAIK, the entire staff is pro-life. They're just not appropriate here.
(wait, when you say "they're not appropriate here", are you still talking about the entire staff? This is about me, isn't it?)

Originally posted by Gondwanaland View PostI think that could indeed be part of it. But one should note that animals were only 'given' in the bible after sin. One would think a rational Christian would strive toward eating plants and treating animals as they were BEFORE sin.
And Jesus grilled fish for the boys.

I find it odd that you are quite vehement towards those who are not vegan as you are. I don't mind if you're vegan, it's your choice. But please allow me my choice to eat meat and drink milk and eat eggs and butter and wear wool. I mean, don't you think it's cruel to a cotton plant to have it's bolls harvested and spun and woven? Or a flax plant to be cut down and it's fibres made into linen? That's horrible! Plants are people, too!
