LOVE IT! :-)

It is common knowledge that any man who hunts is trying to prove their manhood because they lack it in other ways and places.

Perhaps this holiday season, an appropriate gift for hunters that we may know, would be a penis enlarger under the tree.

Stop killing animals. Shame on you hunters.

I find flaws in Jeff's thinking.

Cats aren't eaten so much because they are cute, but because they are raised to be pets! (If his logic were true, then those Sphinx-breed cats would be in big trouble)

Animals don't speak foreign language either: they're not sapient. Maybe a gorilla can manage to learn human words, but a pig cannot. And you can't teach a pig sign language. They are born to be bacon.

The "being unable to carry bipeds" on your back totally summarizes my thinking. Edible animals exist solely to be eaten.

The reason we chose cats and dogs as pets is because they are the ones who helped us get the meat to eat.

Jack, this is so true. Our society shuts it's ears and eyes when it comes to animal farming (and farm animal abuse) but go all gungho about companion animal abuse. I wish our society could equally treat (good) all kinds of animals (and people).

Many people turn away or stop listening to me when I talk about rodeo and farm animal abuse (ocassionally I have got answers such as "you can't tell people to stop slaughtering because these people have invested their lives into those businesses"). But when I question them how is that abuse different from abusing your own pet, none of them have answers.

first i'd like to say that this comment is on this post cuz it was the first on page and i dont know how else or where else to post hate mail

fuck u ur just a buncha fuckin hippies
if animals caould develop the way humans have(into a dominant intelligent species) then maybe we'll stop killing them, but what then? mayb e they can get jobs with us and buy homes and properties and a nice white picket fence with a pool out back for the kids, and then further in the future they'll be so fuckin smart they'll realize they could just do to us what we've done to them? and dont think theyd spare you tree huggers cus u fought for 'animal rights'(i feel like an idiot even saying those words) theyll spare ur lives theyd probally eat u first to rid u of the earth cus ur hippie faggots(not as in gay) who jjust do drugs all the time and when u get an idea, like 'animal rights', u think its fuckin brilliant the whole world just laughs at ur stupidity!fuck u

I saw a preview of next Sunday's "America's Most Smartest Model" on VH1 showing baby pig corpses to be dissected in a biology lab. I cannot believe this! They looked real. PetaFiles, please look into this, this is really too much.

LOL I particularly got a good laugh out of the one about the hunter (killers) because it has been scientifically proven to be true!

Step 4: I can see why. The first guy has a long rifle, but the other guy has a puny little carbine.

Good call.

Ray-O, what are you babbling about?

No, animals don't speak foreign languages—they don't need to, they have their own. In case you haven't noticed, humans themselves speak a wide variety of languages. Do you understand them all?

You opined, "The reason we chose cats and dogs as pets is because they are the ones who helped us get the meat to eat."

Your pet cat helps you get meat to eat? If you'd stop beating your meat maybe the blood flow would return to your brain.

Posted by: Mike Quinoa | November 2, 2007 06:46 PM

Where do people come up with asinine ideas like "edible animals exist solely to be eaten"? And really, just because a non-human does not speak a human language does NOT mean that they do not have their own language and ways of communicating. That is just so arrogant I can't even believe that I share the same chromosomes as idiots who believe that crap.

Anonymous, using your pathetic logic, people who cannot get jobs or buy houses(such as children, those who are disabled, lazy, incompetent or otherwise) would not be entitled to any rights. You are a despicable being (you said it yourself when you explained that you wanted somewhere to post "hate mail").

Honestly, the world would be doomed if non-humans developed into the way humans have. It is the human species on this planet that has made such a mess of things. Humans are polluting the earth, melting the polar ice caps, causing disease with toxins in our foods, plastics, and cigarettes, killing themselves slowly with obesity, and unbelievably continuing to allow others to live in abject poverty. That is not exactly what I would call an "intelligent" species.

"ur hippie faggots(not as in gay)" So....we're hippie bundles of sticks?

By far the funniest Deflocked yet (imo). Unfortunately, what's sadly ironic is that even being cute (dogs and cats) or being able to carry bipeds (horses) doesn't prevent these animals from being butchered for their fur and/or flesh.

Posted by: Doug | November 3, 2007 04:47 PM

Caboose, what is your point? If you think that is an insult, you are sadly mistaken. Other terms that are equally non-insulting are: tree hugger, hippie, granola cruncher, and bleeding-hearted liberal. Oh, and don't forget "sticks and stones..."

Mike Q: Good one! LMAO

Poor people choose to be poor. Their lack for a will to earn prosperity makes them weak and ignorant. If you give a bum money, he will waste it. :/

I think that Ray-O meant in the past about pets helping us get meat, not today. Try this new Common Sense cream, tested on endangered animals!

Posted by: Caboose | November 4, 2007 06:54 PM

Michele

Its not an insult, its what you and PETA are. Thats all.

Posted by: Caboose (neutral, blue army. Blood Gulch Outpost Alpha) | November 5, 2007 04:19 PM

Caboose,

So pet cats helped humans in the past to get meat? Ray-O actually said that, so my question still stands (or you can answer it if you like).

Save your Common Sense cream—you need it more than I do.

Posted by: Mike Quinoa | November 5, 2007 05:49 PM

Sorry, I meant Dogs. Cats are pets because of royal ancestry.

The cream is a lie, like the cake. (Portal)

Why must you be so literal?
