#15: You're right, the cat probably died of natural causes.

That video reminds me of Burning Beast, if only the Dutch artist burned the cat's body, ate its corpse, and sold $100 tickets for others to participate.

It's surprisingly thoughtful that the names of the animals that are being tragically killed and eaten in ritual sacrifice were engraved on this chalkboard tombstone.
RIP Maria Hines the cow
RIP Aaron Matson the bison
RIP Charles Warpole and Josh Hendersen the sheep
RIP Dylan Giordan the chicken
RIP Adam Hoffman the duck
RIP Brandon Karrow the salmon
RIP Zephyr Paquette and Matt Lewis the lambs
RIP Mike Easton and Karen Jurgensen the goats
RIP Jesse Smith the pig
RIP Josh Rowley and Dave Smead the oysters
RIP Tamara Murphy whose heart was removed
They deserve more than veggies, soda, gin, and cupcakes in remembrance.

#1: How often do you think there are men fucking in bathroom stalls? And do you think men with toddlers don't exist? If blog comments were around when restrooms were racially desegregated, I would have loved to see your ignorant comments.
Seattle should lead on this progressive cause as well. Whoever on the council leads will get positive press, more votes, and donations.

63: Of course it's a moral imperative not to harm or torture animals when we don't need to. That's why people who abuse dogs or eat cats go to jail. It's why Michael Vick went to jail for dog fighting. It's one of the easiest moral questions. Don't harm animals needlessly, and if you need to (eg, if you're starving and have no alternative), treat them as well as you can. The only reason why meat is sold in the rich world is tradition, and the only reason McDonald's gets away with animal torture is willful ignorance by customers.

53-55: This is about workers who sell the cheapest torture meat money can buy. Of course it's at least partially about what the workers actually do. Your psychological defenses are so convoluted and bizarre.
55: "Humane" meat is hardly any better than what McDonald's does. http://youtu.be/pJeyxKWI_vA

41/43: You seriously think being around these products all day is irrelevant to happiness and mental stress? I'd say being content with this is a sign of serious mental illness / psychopathy.

I agree with a living wage, but selling ground up tortured corpses for a living is demoralizing and psychologically damaging as well. I don't know how much Veggie Grill employees make, but they seem relatively happy.

I know people who live in apodments and they are certainly not "technorati", unless that's a word like "hipster" that suburban people use to mean "young people I don't understand".
