Thanks, but I've benefited as much as the kids from my "contributions."

I notice you are not interested in Celivias Forum.

I notice none the the church Leaders or People Are Interested.

"noted." Not even a comment apart from David B

Thanks because I am doing a televion doc soon on just that point.

No Interest from Church people at all.

Its sure to be a success.

Just Keep reading your bible while millions of gods creatures suffer.

I Will Keep a cold one for you in Hell, that place your so scared of.

Just think you might even see my there.

Now thats scarey Philo.

Wendy,
I note you take a literalist physical view of the afterlife. However this is not what I believe. Obviously you live in a mental hell [torment] already.

As far as animal cruelty is concerned Ive bred thousands of head of dairy stock and none have been ill treated as you claim. Most of them end their days at the local abbitors. I could say that you have never feed a nation from your garden but rather expect people to live on grass. Animals best turn grass into high grade protein - perhaps you should try it.

I have only just started with this OLO thing the last few weeks and was just hunting around.
Read all your stuff and others.
You make it clear mate you dont like this Wendy.
I reckon shes pretty on the money.
You know when I first started reading I thought Oh no here we go again. After reading some more I thought to myself yeh shes right about that.
Then I read some more peoples comments about the lack of church Leaders interested In Animal Welfare and i thought its true.
So I find myself getting drawn in to this with more interest.
Dont knock someone for trying to do something decent then call yourself a Christian mate.
Actually I think that was her whole point really in the first place.
The Churches do have a clear responsibilty and your too gutless to post on the subject I noticed.
Shes not telling people to eat grass.
I think shes got you pegged and you just dont like it.
Thats my two bobs worth.
Yeh and maybe you should think about sticks and stones and all that stuff.
Especially Casting Stones

BennySampson,
I suppose you kill ants, I don't! they are allowed in my kitchen because they are living creatures too in need of a feed.

I didn't know we were talking about animal cruelty, but on that issue -- here in West Virginia, U.S. -- hunting for food is common. I don't hunt, but most in my extended family keep their freezers stocked with wild game, mostly deer. This culture is explained better in my novel, but a "clean kill" is highly regarded. And, a person's pet dog is as much a part of the family as a human relative.

The deer are so prolific that here in Charleston, a small city, an ordinance was passed last year allowing persons to hunt within city limits if their property was a certain size, etc. Personally, while I have no trouble taking down a pimp to protect a teenage prostitute, I don't think I could shoot a deer. They are soooooooo pretty.
