Cassini, you will soon learn that our glorious :bowdown:Marfran :bowdown2: is an absolute pillar of sanctity on a par with Mother Theresa. She has never done anything unethical and never will!
Is it ethical to raise animals in captivity, to have them live unnatural lives in houses, and force them to stay home alone all day while we work, so that affluent women (Marfran told us that she can well afford many fur coats if she wanted them…) may have pets? Is it ethical to do this to animals (living sentient beings), when in the year 2009, we are much advanced from the age of the caveman, and have no NEED to keep pets anymore this way. We have more superior and compassionate alternatives such as Furbys available to us TODAY.
Excuse me, Marfran, for this extremely personal question…but, Severus68, what are your shoes made of? “Non chemical”, “organic” products?
I do not understand why you insist on the ***personal ***attacks. This is against CAF rules. I understand this topic is emotional to you, but if you really want to present a solid case why don’t you try to build one.Is it ethical to raise animals in captivity, to have them live unnatural lives in houses, and force them to stay home alone all day while we work, so that affluent women (Marfran told us that she can well afford many fur coats if she wanted them…) may have pets?

(Oops! Just watch…Marfran will now chastise me for going off topic!)
Yes. But it’s hard to respond when you type in between my text. The first question you gave a one word answer. That was 'yes." I believe you went on to explain why in the next question. I would agree that that raising the animals in captivity ***is ***better than using a steel leghold trap, however all the photos and video that have been posted do not show humane treatment. Did you see the video where the fox was anally electrocuted? It does seem that the animals have it even worse in China.
I don’t see you doing everything else Jesus did or didn’t do. Jesus cooked and ate fish that his disciples caught after Jesus told them to let down their nets on the other side of the boat. No vegan Jesus!
I like that Cruella Deville analogy!!! How appropriate!!!
Jesus told his disciples to drop their nets and to come follow him.
You’re RIGHT! And they didn’t eat corn either! You know why? Because both mink and corn are indigenous to the Americas!
The person who knows fur can tell 99% of the time just by looking at a fur whether is real or fake. And the other 1% you can tell by feeling. Fake fur is very obviously fake. There is no way fake comes anywhere close to the real thing.
I’m not in the business anymore. I know people who are. Do thousands mean a “large operation” to you? I object to the term “factory” farm because the animals are not all treated alike as if they were pieces of machinery in a factory to be put together. I told you that they are individually bred. They are individually fed. The new mothers are all individually checked soon after they’ve given birth and the new babies are looked at as well, and if they’re not doing well, they’re placed where they can be better taken care of. Their nest boxes are individually cleaned and fresh bedding is individually replaced in them. They are individually vaccinated against disease, etc., etc.
When it was already dawn, Jesus was standing on the shore; but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them, “Children, have you caught anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.” So he said to them, “Cast the net over the right side of the boat and you will find something.” So they cast it, and were not able to pull it in because of the number of fish. So the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord.” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he tucked in his garment, for he was lightly clad, and jumped into the sea. The other disciples came in the boat, for they were not far from shore, only about a hundred yards, dragging the net with the fish. When they climbed out on shore, they saw a charcoal fire with fish on it and bread. Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish you just caught. So Simon Peter went over and dragged the net ashore full of one hundred fifty-three large fish. Even though there were so many, the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, “Come, have breakfast.” And none of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because they realized it was the Lord. Jesus came over and took the bread and gave it to them, and in like manner the fish. This was now the third time Jesus was revealed to his disciples after being raised from the dead.
$225.00 for a faux mink vest from Neiman Marcus. I bet N. Marcus does a good job with the faux. neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod93480033&eItemId=prod93480033&cmCat=search&searchType=MAIN&parentId=&icid=&rte=%252Fsearch.jhtml%253FN%253D0%2526Ntt%253Dfaux%252Bmink%2526_requestid%253D23965
You are right!!! Jesus didn’t actually EAT any fish!!! Thanks for this post!
The cost of a mink fur coat is roughly equal to the cost of one year of parochial high school. I have several kids in parochial high school and feel that investing in a Catholic education for my children is a much better investment than spending that same money for the vanity of a fur coat.
I wear these cheap, soft cloth sandals.Have had them for years, Wear them come rain or shine. Why all these personal questions. I would not presume to do the same.
I hope your dogs have adequate shelter. My dogs all are in at night, run on grass and are very happy. I live in a city. My cats have their claws. My animals do want they want, still love me and my dogs protect me.
It says that he told his followers how and where to catch so many fish that their nets could have been torn, and that he was cooking fish on a fire when they came to shore and that he told them to bring some of the fish they just caught and to have breakfast with him.
Really? The soles of your sandals are cloth? Where do you get them? What do you do when it’s raining or snowing?
