maybe they should rip all humans hands off so we cant shoot one another. a less objectionable route to world peace than exterminating males, i'm sure the roseweird detractors will agree

The Humane Slaughter Act, or the Humane Methods of Livestock Slaughter Act, (P.L. 85-765; 7 U.S.C. 1901 et seq.) is a United States federal law designed to decrease suffering of livestock during slaughter. It was approved on August 27, 1958. Food Safety and Inspection Service inspectors at slaughtering plants are responsible for overseeing compliance, and have the authority to stop slaughter lines and order plant employees to take corrective actions. Although more than 168 million chickens (excluding broilers) and around 9 billion broiler chickens are killed for food in the United States yearly, the Humane Slaughter Act specifically mentions only cattle, calves, horses, mules, sheep and swine.

heh only semi-related, but i found some stuff from a cockfighting court case where the defendants tried to get the case dismissed. there was a local law in some place in louisiana that they were being tried under but their argument was that the state animal cruelty law, by not including fowl, therefore allowed cockfighting (ie if a law from a higher authority occupies a sphere of law, a locality cannot make a contradictory law). anyway they lost but here's some stuff from the case


The Legislature has simply chosen to
exclude ‘‘fowl’’ as animals warranting protection
under the applicable statute criminalizing
cruelty to animals.
Such silence
cannot be construed to mean that cockfighting
has thereby been authorized by
the Legislature. The court of appeal
erred in holding that LA.REV.STAT.
§ 14:102.1(D) was amended in response to
a controversy surrounding cockfighting.
Savage v. Prator, 38,955 (La.App. 2 Cir.
10/6/04); 886 So.2d 523, 525, rehearing
denied 10/29/04. The legislative history
associated with the amendment reflects no
such controversy.2

2. In 1982, the Legislature revised former article
LA. REV. STAT. § 14:102, reenacted as LA.
REV.STAT. § 14:102.1 through LA.REV.STAT.
§ 14:102.5. During a committee meeting,
Representative Bruneau discussed Senate Bill
180 and explained ‘‘that the bill provided with
respect to the prohibition of cruelty to animals,
defines cruelty and provides penalties.
It also provided for seizure of cruelly treated
animals and for search warrants and other
methods of seeing that animals are properly
treated. He further explained that Louisiana
was known as a ‘dogfighting state’. Laws
have been passed in many other states similar
to Senate Bill 180.’’ Louisiana State Senate,
Committee on Administration of Criminal Justice,
Verbatim Minutes of Meeting, June 24,
1982.
During a May 18, 1982 committee meeting,
‘‘Senator Ginn moved that fighting cocks and
chickens be excluded from the penalties of
Senate Bill No. 180, and the suggested
amendment was adopted, without objection.’’
No additional statements were made with regard
to the exclusion or inclusion of fowl
under the provisions of the statute. Louisiana
State Senate, Committee on Judiciary, Section
C, Verbatim Minutes of Meeting, May 18,
1982. The final version of Acts 1982, No.
431, which became LA.REV.STAT. § 14:102.1(C)
stated, ‘‘This Section shall not apply to the
lawful hunting or trapping of wildlife as provided
by law, accepted veterinary practices
and activities carried on for scientific or medical
research governed by accepted standards.
For purposes of this Section, fowl shall not be
defined as animals.’’

as i have already pointed out in this thread, this is not an accurate picture of typical pig existence. in some way pets serve as a distraction from animal rights causes, because they allow us the fiction that domestic mammals typically have relationships with humans, or are allowed personalities, physical and mental activity, names, or other such luxuries.

#55
there was an old "ask/tell" thread on somethingawful, where someone was like, "Ask me about having my partner as a slave" that was all about their relationship, where the partner basically lived a voluntary life of servitude to the master. now, there are also like 25 million actual slaves on earth right now. so this is like if i was talking about how to fight slavery, and you posted that person as an exampled of how slavery isn't necessarily a bad thing. which i guess is also something you'd really do. anyway... dont eat it

i don't eat store meat but i hunt and venison is delicious. deer are basically terribly overpopulated giant rats and need humans to cull them anyway so they don't all die from chronic wasting disease

i also eat wild turkeys because they too taste real good although the population management argument doesn't really sail with them but fuck it thanksgiving is coming

isn't that because humans killed all the wolves in order to keep them away from animal farms though. what if you put the energy you use hunting into participating in animal rescue or something and helped to restore native predator populations



p sure there would need to be people doing both things since native pred. pop.z arent gonna come back as fast as deer are gonna multiply,.iimo~~~~~~~~~`````````








#66
"Overpopulation" is about as real a problem in deer as it is in humans. I.E. we describe them as overpopulated not because they have reached their habitat's maximum carrying capacity but because we're tired of bumping elbows.
#67
Of course maintaining the maximum density of individuals or biomass is not the only objective of a population management scheme, you may wish to control their influence on other bioresources, but typically when you hear a breathless local news report on deer overpopulation the issue on hand is not animal weight or health but "Urban Deer Conflicts." A.K.A. housewives mad their bushes got munched.

Sort of. In Virginia deer populations bottomed around 1900, long after the extirpation of wolves. Population increases since then have largely been by design.

Before humans arrived on the East Coast there weren't many white tailed deer here anyway. They prefer a matrix habitat of woodlands and meadows, which would hardly exist without human clearances.

join the US military. hogs are one of htem ost underrepresented demographics of america and the job training and educational opportunities would give hogs a real boost in life.

yeah, the massive jump in deer populations has pretty much coincided with the decline in number of hunters.it's true that reintroducing predator populations will and is helping: the resurgent eastern coyote is known to take down small or injured deer. if gray and red wolves or cougars make a similar comeback the population in some areas might stay at a manageable level. the problem is that a lot of places where deer are endemic are not places where wolves or cougars could or should be re-introduced, e.g.more densely inhabited rural regions without large forested areas, not to mention suburban areas.

deer are arguably another periurban human commensal same as cockroaches, rats, mice, raccoons, and pigeons. they like the same habitats as we do.
