gozunda wrote: » I agree. It's like some form of bizarre self flagellation that many western countries have about animal farming and eating meat. For example - Ethiopia's estimated livestock population of about 78.4 million (1988 figures) was believed to be Africa's largest. There were approximately 31 million cattle, 23.4 million sheep, 17.5 million goats, 5.5 million horses and mules, 1 million camels, and 57 million poultry. And I say good luck to them ...http://countrystudies.us/ethiopia/95.htm://countrystudies.us/ethiopia/95.htm

It was really horrible. Kept getting stuck in corners and staring at me. Then when I finally hit it it wasn't clean and I had to hit it a couple of times before I got its head and it stopped twitching. Feel bad thinking about it. Definitely more humane ways of getting rid of a mouse. Was concerned about pathogens though, so I didn't want it to escape so I just did the first thing I thought of.

gozunda wrote: » 'Cowspiracy' is little better than rancid vegan propaganda tbh. The figures used to push the agenda of that film were found to be made up by vegan film producers who falsely claimed that animal agricultural contributed some 51 % of all greenhouse gases. Not only was this figure shown to been have made up - it failed to even mention that it is fossil fuels and the transport sectors who are the single biggest contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. But none of that suits the vegan agenda does it?https://newint.org/blog/2016/02/10/cowspiracy-stampeding-in-the-wrong-direction
