It's an unavoidable fact of existence that some animals are on the lower
part of the food chain. Nature intended it to be so. Humans are not
exempt, either as hunter or hunted. We have developed the luxury of
choice now, and that's all it is: a choice. Personally, I think being a
vegetarian is pretty cool(as long as you're not an asstrolloger), but
you're not going to stop the deer from being killed by the tiger, or the
squid from being swallowed by the marlin. That "oh poor innocent animal"
stuff irritates the heck out of me, when it's being used to promote
vegetarianism. BE vegetarian if you like, and make known your reasons
for doing so. But I'll be damned if I let someone else force their
dietary choices on me. Makes me want to go out and hunt my dinner.

The truth about Islam and Muslims
http://www.stopfundinghate.org/sacw/part1.html
While in almost all the developed countries, the female lead in the sex 
ratio, it is in India that the males dominate the chart. Worse still is 
when we take a look at the child sex ratio, between the age group of 
zero to six. For the nation, the child sex ratio is 927. But the figures 
drop significantly when we see the community report card: 950 for 
Muslims, 925 for Hindus, and a shocking 786 for the Sikhs. Call it 
shocking or dismal, but the fact remains that the growing female 
foeticide and getting rid of the girl child before she reaches the age 
of six, is a dastardly crime.
Here is the modern India for you, fast heading towards a daughter-less 
nation. In an era of new economy based on knowledge-based systems and in 
a fast-track mode, the Hindu rate of growth has also acquired a new 
dimension. Here is the new Hindu rate of growth for you, linked to 
rising literacy – the higher the economic growth the more is the mass 
slaughter of the girl child.
