Uch. Can't eat meat, can't drink milk. No alcohol, tobacco, or firearms. Anything else I shouldn't do? Can I still masturbate? 'Cause honestly there's not much left.

While I'm still guilty of consuming some dairy products like cheese, and things made with dairy byproducts, I personally don't drink milk. I just don't really like it, but there's something that always stuck in my head. As far as I know, we're the only species on the planet that consumes milk after weening from our mothers and we're the only species on the planet that consumes the milk secretions of another species. It's only as popular and commonplace as it is today because the dairy industry is a multi-billion dollar industry and they have actively promoted their products throughout history. Just like the oil industry, while there's still money to be made in the product why would you ever dream of giving it up?

I'd like to order some human cheese, please!

You feel "guilty" about eating cheese and dairy products? We "consume the milk secretions of another species"? Son, contrary to what you saw on t.v., Pamela Anderson is NOT the authority on what Americans can and cannot eat...

"We're the only species on the planet that consumes..." should be changed to include "regularly". There are numerous cases of different species nursing off of other lactating animals, though I'm not sure if this happens without human intervention. Also, there are ants who tend and protect aphids so that they can harvest their secretions. Mmmmm.... secretions.

Schmawy, you joke, but such things exist...

Also people do a lot of things other animals don't do. I've never known an Alpaca, murderous as they are, that has tightly woven stain resistant nylon fibers together into a large mat and used it to cover the floor of its living area so it is a more comfortable place to walk and sit.

I think its folly to judge human behavior by the behavior of other animals. Our basis of whether something is right or wrong should not be based on whether or not the mighty capibara includes it in its behaviors. In the case of milk I don't think other adult animals indulge in it because they do not have ready access to it. Adult cats love milk, heck even birds like it they just don't have the ability to get it.

All that said, the large dairy, egg and poultry farms could probably really use some reform. Not only are conditions often bad for the animals, but they're also bad for the food that comes from them.

I think animals are something we should reference more often when pondering our own nature. I think we kid ourselves when we deny we're animals.

Oh not saying we aren't animals, just saying our morality shouldn't be based on what other animals do. We don't judge lions based on dolphin behavior, or those murderous alpaca on rabbits.

Funny you should mention dolphins. They have been documented murdering the young of other dolphins, and killing young sea lions for apparently nothing but 'sport'. They're very complex.

I've heard of that. They're apparently also prone to breaking out into sex orgies as well as raping other dolphins. They also do a lot of more pro-social things as well.

Rabits, come spring, will instictively "murder" any rabit that looks unhealthy in anyway. knowing this, one can use this evolutionary trait and apply it possibly to the behaviors of other mammal herbivores such as the alpaca. Just because animals might not look the same doesn't mean that an enviroment can't shape them all to have similar behavioral characteristics.

Upvote for the cult tag. Peta is a bunch of retarded asswipes who want to tell you how to live from their moralistic high horse.
