You have to tweak their testicles if they don't fight

 

I've seen a bullring. I've been in a bar where bullfights were screened
but I didn't pay a massive amount of attention. I've never gone to one.

I thought the way it worked was the fighter waved his cape to encourage
the bull to charge, poking sharp sticks in it from time to time and
eventually despatching it with a sword. Others jabbed it from time to
time.

I was brought up on a farm with cattle so I know a little about bulls.
Nasty fuckers. And the ones in bullfights (I read) have little
domestication.

However in a bull ring there's nowhere to run really. And a bull is not
a nimble creature so char

 

The foie gras farmer I visited suggested that

a) ducks put on fat massively, in the liver,
in order to migrate, when left to themselves.
Other species don't, which is why they're not farmed
in that manner.
b) the force-feeding with a tube down the gullet
duplicates how the parents feed the ducklings,
i.e. they're built for it.

I don't know how true either of those things are,
but I do eat the results.

- Stick

 

b) is certainly complete & utter bollocks. The parents don't force feed
them until their stomachs explode, which is a regular side effect of
fois gras farming. There's plenty of info out there in Google land if
you're interested in finding out what really happens, including secret
videos.

 

Yeah, not since I posted it on the 20th July 2010 in a reply to you!

heh, I almost posted that exact same response just up there ^

 

He's had a bang on the head, you know.

 

That will be why they never do it to geese then, right?

1. There's a big difference between the beak of a parent bird entering
the gape of a duckling in order to drop food into the back of the mouth
and a 30cm tube being stuffed directly into the oesophagus and food
delivered directly to the stomach under pressure.

2. Birds used for foie gras production are not young and expecting to
be fed by a parent bird, they are mature and therefore they're not
built for it.

I'd like to eat your foie gras-fattened liver. With a glass of nice
Chianti, for preference.

Your ignorance is only exceeded by your gullibility.

 

Whereas some people, myself included, are happy to accept the
force-feeding as 'not really very cruel' and worth the end result.

 

[foie gras]

Whereas I choose to place foie gras on my list of foodstuffs that I
won't knowingly or willingly consume, along with veal and most seafood,
courgettes and aubergines. With some it is a matter of taste, others
texture and yet others conviction due to means of production.

Each to their own.

 

I can accept the Foie Gras thing, can understand the seafood one
(although not agree with it myself) and wholeheartedly agree with the
slimy tasteless vegebale dislike, but what's wrong with veal? You do
know that it's not crate-raised any more, don't you?

Indeed. Live and let eat.

 

All hail the mighty brussel sprout!

 

I can understand your objection to fois gras.

What's the objection to veal?

 

He shoots, he scores!

 

The devil's vegetable finds work for idle trolls.

 

You're wrong. It's celery.

 

The brussel sprout is celery?!
