*venomous, you idiot. If it's poisonous then it'll only harm you if you were the one biting it. Think of it this way.
If it bites you and you die, it's venomous.
If it bites you and it dies, you're poisonous.
GET THE FUCKING FACTS STRAIGHT.
*sighs and apologizes for opinion again* once more, I am terribly sorry for offending people. Nobody deserves my abuse and I really should just stop commenting. It was an honest mistake, most people are taught that "poisonous" and "venomous" are interchangeable, or they just don't care, but it really ticks me off for some reason .
In the local reptile society, the guy who runs it tells stories of his experiences between meetings, whether it's a funny snake incident or an update on a breeding pair. In one case, it was an update on the ongoing fight to keep certain snakes of his and how the government wasn't happy about him keeping "poisonous" ones. They were, to be grammatically correct, venomous, so he just laughed it off and said,"pft. They aren't poisonous, you can't do anything."
Turns out that they really couldn't do anything until they changed the term, and the moral of this is that sometimes the term used really does matter.
Sorry, have a nice day!
To all the Vegans and Vegetarians in the comments saying that Humans are not designed to eat meat.
I tried to be a Vegetarian for about a month, I researched Vegetarianism extensively and I was trying to get the right amount of Nutrients and Vitamins, I was trying very hard to eat the right amount of Calories, Fats. Carbs, and Proteins. And yet, no matter how hard I tried to make it work I kept getting sick.
And yet, no matter how hard I tried to make it work I kept getting sick, I was lacking energy, I was constantly nauseous, and I was constantly craving meat.
I tried to make it work, I really did, I just think that some people can live their whole lives without eating meat and some need it.
There is no need for the snake to break his fangs if it is done in the right way. Some do it pretty brutal but if you do it with care the snake has no harm.
... Well, here's the thing. We do value our lives. We'd do it if we would die without it. Y'know, I really don't understand all of the hatred towards vegans and vegetarians. Just because we don't eat meat, most omnivores suddenly feel so threatened by it.
I'm a vegetablist, well, pescatarian (I only eat fish).
I make my choices, and even defend people's right to eat meat.
Pork makes me chuck, and leaves me in agony.
I watched "Earthlings" which made me give up Cow and Chicken too.
Killing isn't hurting? Besides. Take a look at your meat industry. Factory farms and all of that. Animals are routinely tortured before being killed. Buying the meat is telling these industries that what they do is okay and they should keep doing it all in the name of making money.
*Giving people food, I don't know where you get your info from but it is horribly inaccurate. "Routinely tortured" I mean what nonsense is that? Besides how do you know they are "torrtured?" Your religion is?
Have you seen anything about factory farming? And you can feed 22 vegans on the same land you can feed one meat eater. I'm a Baptist, btw. A denomination of Christian well known for its love of food. ._. You'll never hear a sermon on gluttony in our churches.
But, how can you say that it's necessary to destroy so much forest for the growth of soya (including parts of the Amazon base)?
Factory farming had come under closer scrutiny over the years, so much so, that the conditions for both keeping and killing the animals have been drastically improved.
They're still awful. Look it up sometime. And seven football fields of land is bulldozed every five minutes for raising meat. Like I said before, you can feed 22 vegans on the land you can feed one meat eater. People could stand to be more responsible when farming plants too, but it's not as bad as the meat industry.
You're the one who needs to do some research, also stop eating up all this media nonsense. God gave us animals like cattle, chickens and sheep so we can have food, He gave us nature to use but also protect!
Ummm, I've done quite a lot of research. Which is why I'm here. I like to know what I'm eating. Do you know that the figures are closer to nearly a billion hectares of Brazilian forest, which includes parts of the Amazon? Some of this houses millions of rare plants, animals, and insects...
The CEO of a well known soya producer, also tried to buy 2 billion hectares of rainforest for it's production, before activists got involved. Soya production has a carbon debt of just over 300 years PER 2 MILLION HECTARES.
This is information that had been has been buried, and hidden, so that vegans can remain blissfully unaware of the harm they themselves are committing to.
Yes, I hate the suffering that animals go through, which is why I chose not to eat them, but at least I do some kind of research, and don't just assume that what I'm doing is some kind of magic, and the food I eat doesn't just appear from nowhere.
In my opinion, it's just like being a Christian and not bothering to read the bible
For one thing, most of our soy and corn goes to feeding farm animals, not us. For the person saying God made animals for us to eat, wrong. The garden of Eden was vegan. And humans aren't built to eat meat. We're built as herbivores. "But canine teeth!" Canine in name only. Horses have canines. And unless they're the man-eating horses of Greek myth, those don't eat meat.
F**k this, I'm out. Trying to talk sense to a Vegan, is like trying to tell a monkey its bum looks fat in a bikini.
Being Vegan is no better for the world than animal farming. I've presented the facts, do as you wish.
I have a very long article that sums everything up in one place and has all of its sources at the bottom, if you'd like to read it. And like I said, most of the soy, corn, and other plants grown GOES TO ANIMALS. FARM ANIMALS. You haven't responded to that one.
That's not my point. There are so many animals because we farm them to eat. We also grow so much soy because we have to feed all the animals that wouldn't be if we didn't farm them to eat.
Yes, we do. We have for a while, now. It's a bean. Soy beans are used to feed cattle and pigs all the time. Are they meant to eat soy? No. But farms, especially factory farms, feed their animals corn and soy.
I don't quite understand what you're asking. Look. If we didn't farm animals for meat, we wouldn't be growing anywhere near as much soy. Humans don't consume that much soy. Corn is a different story because of corn syrup. Which is in everything. It shouldn't be, but it is.
No. My lifestyle isn't damaging. Look it up. Most soy and corn goes to animals. 33% of carbon emissions are attributed to the meat industry. YOUR lifestyle is damaging. To animals, to the environment, to your health. You can feed 22 vegans on the land you can feed ONE meat eater.
quick question
"You can feed 22 vegans on the land you can feed ONE meat eater."
are you saying that vegans and meat eaters are two different species now? though a meat eater may not be used to eating "off the land" that doesn't mean that they can't eat that way
I mean sure they may not be super happy about it, but if it was either that or dying.
oh and, just because they are vegans, doesn't mean they are instantly bad people.
If it bites you and you die, it's venomous.
If it bites you and it dies, you're poisonous.
