Sure, why not.

No lamb? So you wouldn't eat venison because you think deer are cute? Are ducks cute? How about cornish game hen? Do you pick and choose as you go?

Just because it grows up to be supposedly ugly doesn't mean it wasn't cute once. Cute and sweet and cuddly and loving.

Such is the lot of an omnivore.

I think what SM is trying to say is that is doesn't eat animals he finds cute, nor does he eat baby anything.

I, on the other hand, eat whatever I find is tasty. It might've been cute once but now it is dead and on my plate. I didn't kill it by ordering it at a restaurant or buying it at a store. It was already dead by then.

I love animals, but, if someone gave me a floor length Black Gamma fur, I would probably wear it. However, I don't support the killing of wild animals for fur and I can barely get by with the idea of hunting. I think Disneyphile hit it on the nose. It's a personal choice.

As is the choice - - one I constantly make myself, so don't anyone go getting in an uproar of being judged - - to rationalize that the animals will be killed whether you go vegetarian or not .... so you might as well eat the critters that have already lost the food chain battle before you walked into the market or the restaurant.

I love meat.

I grew up in a rural area so hunting doesn't bother me, as long as people eat what they kill. Hunting is used to thin herds so they don't starve or die of disease as well. And squirel stew isn't bad as I recall.

I'm not a huge taxidermy fan. No dead stuff in my house. I don't really care if that's what floats others boats but I find it kind of creepy. The hardware store where I had my first job had a buffalo head, a few deer and an elk on the walls. Kinda creepy.

correct

CP: Are ducks cute?

meh, but I don't eat duck

I don't know what one looks like when alive, but I think I may have had it. They're pretty damn small though, so it's more of a "why bother?".

CP: Do you pick and choose as you go?

Not with that much deliberateness, but I suppose so. I pretty much stick to chicken and beef.

Look, I did not and do not suggest anyone else should adhere to the carnivorous choices I've made for myself. I'm merely put out there what I do.

I will not eat anything that's cute when young and majestic when grown.

Deer are out ... as are buffalo, bear, lion, and sperm whale.

They must meet both criteria, however. Cute alone won't disqualify them from my plate.
