It's on too late for the kiddos, though.<br /><br />MamaN - We've already discussed how pork is from pigs, etc. The kids seem okay with eating animals, just not ANIMALS eating other animals!:)<br /><br />Mel - You are of course totally correct, and I know that episode too. It's also amusing that neither Tiny or Buddy questioned the eating herbivores thing. Cause you can bet a *real* kid would have!<br /><br />Beth - I don't envy your situation! I think I'd let Dad handle that one...:)Lyzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13246510346329581281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851687726423267832.post-5669230711728014542010-01-22T21:04:59.913-06:002010-01-22T21:04:59.913-06:00I'm conflicted and dread the day this conversa...I'm conflicted and dread the day this conversation comes up w/ my Ben. Dad's a hunter, mom is a soft-hearted "let's just catch the fly and let it go back outside" kind of gal...I think just teaching respect for life is best.

However, there was one episode where Annie and Delores went on migration, and Delores clearly says, "and we eat the herbavores who eat the plants." there's probably a code of conduct on that train.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12835014381064001308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851687726423267832.post-68673936016140404052010-01-21T11:38:37.580-06:002010-01-21T11:38:37.580-06:00Death comes in many forms, sometimes it's not ...Death comes in many forms, sometimes it's not as humane and "natural" as we'd like to think but it's a part of life. Animals in nature don't have a choice of what to eat, they can't survive on carbs or fiber alone, just like people can't.. we have it easy because we don't have to go out and hunt down our food, etc, we can simply run to the store. <br /><br />Of course, if you're still not thrilled about the discussion this topic will bring, simply say that the snow plow got him while he was sleeping. haha (sorry!)1 Craaazy Mamma!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07064905893687755248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851687726423267832.post-19705205892529569662010-01-20T23:23:05.153-06:002010-01-20T23:23:05.153-06:00Here's a good video on the subject: http://mea...Here's a good video on the subject: http://meat.orgmherzoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11703569536054971071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851687726423267832.post-19582674241890299502010-01-20T22:18:29.352-06:002010-01-20T22:18:29.352-06:00Well if your family had been watching "Nature...Well if your family had been watching "Nature" instead of "Golden Globes" before "Return to Cranfield", they would have been very familiar with cute baby animals getting killed by other animals ;-) This week's episode dealt with bears and wolves as predators at Yellowstone.<br /><br />When our girls were younger, we would watch Lawrence Welk on PBS and the parents would recall Saturday nights back in the '60s and early '70s when we would watch it on Saturday nights between baths and going to bed. Rated very "G".<br /><br />Then would come "Nature" with amazing animals in amazing places. Also very "G" until some young, old, slow, diseased, or oblivious animal would become a meal for a more vigorous species. Sometimes we would divert attention or take other action if we could see "it" coming. Other times we were too slow or oblivious ourselves.<br /><br />Our cat also provides lessons in animal-on-animal violence. In spite of having 21 body parts removed, he is still able to get moths, mice, and even a baby rabbit. But as an urban cat, he is into catch and release, catch and release, catch and release, until the poor animal gets worn out and dies.Noelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445980997391559036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851687726423267832.post-76741593037026585792010-01-20T19:44:15.987-06:002010-01-20T19:44:15.987-06:00Mmmmm.... never been in that situation.
