| Uh, what about those Prarie Dogs being fragged by explosive ammo? 
 Reminds me of my hey-day playing Quake II or Unreal.

 A waste.  Pure and simple.  Pluggin' gophers and prarie dogs with anything beyond a .22 is pointless.  Ya hit 'em right, they flop-twitch, and they're done.

| Assuming that you're gargu on there, what's your point? This Tifa person might have a rosier idea of animal nature than she should, but she's hardly screaming the OMG ANIMALS ARE PERFECT line.  She seems to have some idea that animals are cruel - she acknowledges that they bite each other's heads off and she's even seen cats playing with their meals - she just doesn't think it compares to the scale and violence with which humans treat animals. I have to say that sounds pretty logical to me. 
 In fact, she even says she'll TOLERATE slaughterhouses, which indicates that she's a lot more interested in simple animal welfare than in some sort of radical animal rights regime.  She doesn't object to you eating a steak as long as you don't gut the cow while its alive or something.  For a vegan (And I would know, I've met a lot), that's a very very tolerant, middle of the road attitude.
 
 (And since she's a vegan, I have to give her some props for at least not being a hypocrit.  Too many furries spout the "save the kyoot widdle animals" line and then run off to stuff their faces with pork rinds. Hey, I say I care about animals, but I don't do shit to help them.  She shames me.)
 
 So I don't even get why you're arguing with her there.  Okay, animals torture each other.  Is that supposed to be some sort of justification for the way humans treat animals?  Animals do a lot of things that we don't approve of.  We're supposed to be better than them.
 
 
 And plugging prairie dogs is fucking stupid.

 I'm sorry, but I need gibbs. First Person Shooters have RAEPED my SOULZORZ. I'm the shell of the man I once was. I NEED EXPLOSIONS DAMNIT!

| Exploding ammo? I thought it's regular ammo. I'm mean, if you hit people with a .50 machinegun they also sort of explode, lose limbs/heads/are cut in half and/or thrown back real hard. (No, I was never shooting praire dogs, anything that size, or anything at all for that matter.) |  |

| I basically agree with everything that the New Meat said, I dont have anything to even add to it other than that I hate these fucking threads. 
 soon itll start looking like this thread is full o squirrel-hunting redneck fucks that have to point out how not-furry they are because they hunt    :roll:
 
 
 I think if I someday go vegan, it won't be because of animal-related stuff like it should be, but rather just because it seems to chaffe people really badly - and thats sounding pretty appealing to me   :lol:
