This is probably old news to you

August 18th, 2008

My sister sent me a link to a story on a news site that she likes to read about a story of some Danish college students who were kicked off of Facebook because they had documented with photographs (posted on the web) themselves cooking and eating a cat.  They claimed that they were doing this to protest the way that people eat animals in general, and that they cat was a feral cat killed by a farmer who was trying to control the number of cats on his land, but their efforts created such a huge outrage that they ended up getting kicked off of Facebook.

I know that there are some cultures that eat cats (and dogs) routinely, but those are two animals that I cannot imagine myself eating on purpose.  If I could arrange my life so that I was a vegetarian I would do so, but my life is a little too complicated for that right now.
