Petting a lion cub is a really bad idea - this is why

[Foxhound5366]

Now that's an idea. Maybe I should get a island and start such a cult. But how do we keep evil ***ists out? Ah, let's put a lion camp around the perimeter! Oh dear, I guess I'll have to include conservationists in the *ists.

Jokes aside. What I have against articles such as this is that a lot of is is seen as absolutes: "all the lion farms do this, all cubs are from these origins". Yet this is not true.

Correct. By attributing a value to an animal, they become more if it can be commercialized. The humane side of operations is totally another discussion, but the two get trivially confused in these highly emotive discussions. Even this report plays into that. Yet where the source is quoted, they do not use words such as all, always rather many, sometimes.

Wrong. The story I quoted says "many", "vast majority", "often". It doesn't say "all".

You've tasted kitty meat I presume?

oh my ... a gentleman shouldn't discuss such matters outside of the bedroom ...

So socialist and communist systems? I hear rat meat taste like chicken? Especially tangy when seasoned with mopanie worms? What is the feedback from Zim?

Can't even afford rat or worm meat.

You can pet them until the day they attack, then you can shoot them.

And then can them?

That is exactly what he said.

Careful Sauron, back away, you don't want to make a lion or fox angry...
