Dumber than Anne Althouse
A newspaper columnist writes that she would turn vegetarian rather than kill her own food, and indeed she finds the thought of killing animals for food so repellent that she thinks other people should not do it either.

Hopefully, our future will feature vast vats of cultured meat, so no animales will have to suffer.
Mmmmm... generic meat-like substance... uhhhhhh...
Alternate comment:
Murder is unnecessary, since hitmen exist.
Not murder she wrote.

Yeah, goddammit.
And I bet those bastards didn't even EAT that Hadrosaur...
Soylent green is the logical answer to the piles of dead people that are the residue of our foreign policy. It will satisfy our lusts for both killing and meat protein...most efficient.
Speople! The canned meat product of a free Afghanistan. Now on your grocer's shelves!
I had a lot of time for Macleod when she used to stand up to Muldoon in the 1980's. My tolerance of her seems to diminish every year and with every time I hear or read something from her.
This piece is very dumb and disrespecting the animals she would not be prepared to kill
McLeod's columns alternate between (a) sneering at the well-meaning liberals of the middle classes with their smug comfortable certainties and their ignorance about other people whose lives they want to improve by imposing their own values, and (b) sneering at anyone who's not middle-class for not sharing her values and way of life.
Three decades ago when she was still university age and a budding writer, her articles were all of type (a), and funnier. Of course in those days when she was not one of them, she used to despise the smug middle-class middle-aged parents for being conservative rather than liberal.
Come to think of it, there's an awful lot of NZ columnists & pundits & cartoonists who followed the same career arc. They were all recruited into the media world in their 20s and have been barring the doors against younger competitors ever since.
Pop will eat itself.
cherula, loving measure.
Ummm, I dunno.
Do you see that look on her face?
For that matter, do you see the look on the BULL'S face?
I think she's got plans for that bull, and I don't think dinner and dancing enter into them at all.
I mean, talk about unsubtle - she's got one boob out, fer crissakes.
Even more potentially disturbing is what the hell is that chick in the orange doing with that nekkid kid?

Best kinda chicken.
I think she's got plans for that bull
He's not exactly being subtle either, waht with showing how he can lick his nose.
Also she may have noticed the convenient handles.
This denigration of the work of the Livestock Improvement Board is unbecoming of such a agriculturally minded blog.
Murder is unnecessary, since hitmen exist.
Live music is unnecessary since recording companies exist.
Sex is unnecessary since pornography exists.
Anne's statements are particularly absurd since deer hunting is probably our (yes I live in the same state as Anne) state's best hope of containing CWD.(chronic wasting disease, a spongiform encephalopathy specific to deer, although it can cause Creuzfeld Jakob disease in people who eat tainted meat) Other forms of containing CWD are considered even less palatable to the public, like reintroducing wolves. In any case, being a against hunting in a state that has basically no natural predators left is pretty uninformed.
Has Althouse spoken out against hunting too also? I was only using her as a calibrated yardstick of dumbness for measuring the columns from NZ writers.
People may or may not care to know that you do not need a game license to shoot feral peacocks here.
Here is more evidence of the garland waving hunters after swans, now. Luckily Rosemary McLeod is on the scene.
Don't worry about the swans. They can look after themselves.
Also.
How do the peacocks taste? Are they rich and slightly gamey? Do they taste like chicken?
Tough and stringy?
Gonna need some info here..
If peafowl are anything like the smaller sorts of pheasant, tough and stringy and needing to be hung up until it has rotted just the right amount.
Sadly I have not seen any in the supermarket.
