skeroh Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 With Thanksgiving, for USA, almost less than a day away, many Americans will be buying turkeys at their supermarkets, preparing for the big dinner celebrating Thanksgiving and giving thanks to the people and friends who have influenced their lives. But 45 million turkeys are giving thanks to the people who killed them. Is slaughtering tons of young turkeys the right answer for giving thanks? I for one, am a vegetarian, proudly not eating the dead, cold meat that sits on the table, in honor of thanks. I do not believe that killing turkeys is a good think. Do you think killing turkeys is good for Thanksgiving? Sorry if this doesn't apply to people outside of the United States. Retired from runescape. I will be on every now and then though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadburys_egg Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 proudly not eating the dead, cold meat that sits on the table You kooky americans. In England we serve turkey cooked. That's a keeper. I don't mind vegetarianism, in fact I have a few vegetarian friends. But why do vegetarians insist on being "I AM NON-MEET EETER! I R PWN U ALL!", yet meat eaters are not all "I R MEET EETER, BOW TO ME!!1" There are many animals slaughtered every day for daily consumption, but why start a vegetarian topic just because of Thanksgiving (not that I celebrate it, go England), most people eat meat everyday and i'm sure more turkey is consumed on Christmas than Thanksgiving. Opinions are great.. but on a subject like this it's probably best to keep them to yourself. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runemetsa Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Isn't vegetarianism one way of self-torturing?

BlueLancer Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 proudly not eating the dead, cold meat that sits on the table You kooky americans. In England we serve turkey cooked. I've had a thanksgiving meal quite a few times when visiting my relatives in scandinavia and they always serve the turkey cold. I don't get the idea, though the taste is nowhere near bad. I just wonder where the custom comes from? I know slaughtering a turkey is an age-old pagan tradition along with slaughtering a pig in the winter, just wondering where the 'cold turkey' comes from. Anyways, to reply to the thread, no I don't think it's justified. I could do perfectly without a slaughtered turkey that was bred for the sole purpose of being eaten on a certain day. I wont refuse one if I'm offered it at a thanksgiving party or dinner. And yes, I do think that if the turkey could breed me, it would eat me with his family on thanksgiving after I weighed 600lbs from all those potato chips it fed me.

dark_ice Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Hmm, you know all those veggies you eat. I'm sure alot of the farmers that produce those veggies use animal poop to fertilize them... :-k Just a thought... But, anyways, I can't get enough of that turkey on Thanksgiving. Fried turkey. Baked turkey. Stuffed turkey. Roasted turkey. Barbequed turkey. Yum Yum Yum! And don't you think that since we were made with the ability to eat meat, that we were actually meant to.
