Actually an interesting scientific experiment/comparison would be to slaughter a pet cat or a dog, (being domesticated species that the majority of humans do not think about eating) and see if they "accept their fate" like chicken or sheep do.

Cat's actually are only partially domesticated.
my dog would probably allow it even if he knows its coming. Take him to the vet he tries to run away but once he's on the table he just take the shot and gets blood work done and doesn't whine or do anything.
Some countries even have livestock dogs that are raised for the sole purpose of being eaten. they also have pet dogs but those are not considered food the way the livestock dogs are.
reminds me of...
this guy who eats a baby chicken and explains that male chickens are killed off because they can't lay eggs
Jobs’ cancer had been discovered by chance during a CT scan in 2003 to look for kidney stones, during which doctors saw a “shadow” on his pancreas. Isaacson told CBS’ 60 Minutes last night that while the news was not good, the upside was that the form of pancreatic cancer from which Jobs suffered (a neuroendocrine islet tumor) was one of the 5% or so that are slow growing and most likely to be cured.
But Jobs refused surgery after diagnosis and for nine months after, favoring instead dietary treatments and other alternative methods. Isaacson says that when he asked Jobs why he had resisted it, Jobs said “I didn’t want my body to be opened…I didn’t want to be violated in that way.” His early resistance to surgery was apparently incomprehensible to his wife and close friends, who continually urged him to do it.
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma typically has a very poor prognosis: after diagnosis, 25% of people survive one year and 5% live for five years. For cancers diagnosed early, the five-year survival rate rises to about 20%
Pancreatic cancer is a very shitty one, that's the same one my mom died from
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
