So do you deny having a rich husband like most middle-aged women activists? Or are you merely trying to smear by lumping my accusation in with a bunch of false ones?

I'm more interested in knowing if you ride the elephants bareback like Lady Godiva. I'd bet yearly zoo passes would sell quickly.

Jizay, you have my apologies. You are quite correct, I was careless regarding messages on this thread.

I'm going to break my rule about not posting to this thread just one last time to apology accepted. I meant no malice; I was just ribbing you. And anyway, you're not the animal killer here and that's the important thing.

Without bumping the thread! Way to go fellas! Let's keep it up and just let this thread die.

OK, since this thread is already bumped, I guess I can post. I just want to say good job to everyone who has managed not to bump the thread for so long. We did it! I just want to add: Until we know for a fact that the animals bloosum kills are innocent, this thread title could be considered libelous - or is it slanderous? I forgot again. Either way, I have been assured by a prominent attorney and animal rights activist that it is defamatory.

say = slander

libel relates to things in print. This thread is definitely libelous.

I have renewed doubt about whether or not animal rights supporter bloosum supports killing of innocent animals for food.

Maybe our discussion about whether or not they are "innocent" was wasted effort. We clearly had other terms to define.

To begin clearing this up, I propose that we come up with operational definitions. I'll start.
"animals": animals

Excellent suggestion, MDBrown.

Can we all agree to the following?

Animals:
Multicellular
Fixed body plan
Incapable of feeling pain
Respond to their environment
Feed by consuming other organisms
Begin development as embryos
