Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I visit my brother in South Africa, I order things I've only seen in zoos. Little deers and kudu, all the mammals you would never think of eating.
I guess in general, people tend to not eat the cute animals.
What bothers me is that there is so much emphasis on food, rather than gathering and meeting - so that there is all this effort in creating the right food, whereas the food is only a small part of whether the encounter is successful or not.
I've never really been able to tolerate zoos.
In vast parts of the world, people don't eat meat.
I have friends who come to the Australia Zoo, and it's just, instead of playing video games, we get to hug and kiss a giraffe or walk a tiger.
I don't eat or wear animals, but I never tell people not to - that's just my view.
Animals are companions on this planet, not necessarily our feedbags.
We are all vegetarians here, and except for a mountain lion that's been hanging around and killed our dog, we don't have a care in the world.
I like animals, I really do, but some animals are just meant to be eaten.
