HTFU hippies

What's that supposed to mean?

My dad never really forgave him or this inherent weakness.. ( this was dads way of thinking..)My father was also a farm boy and would have been indoctrinated the same way by his dad..he had little respect for animals.

Brother was a true animal lover for most of his life..

The more someone is told to toughen up - often they just become more vulnerable. You can love the theory of country life - just not the reality.

Maybe those of us who are over-sensitised should become vegetarians. I went onto this dog site the other day which looked quite harmless, but one of the links had graphic scenes of the dog slaughter in various Asian countries - and the events leading up to it. It was sickening, but the point of the link was that it doesn't matter what animal is slaughtered - they should all be considered equal. Pigs are apparently more intelligent than dogs, yet they are housed and slaughtered like chickens. Are all animals equal?

I suspect it's Harden The Fuck Up.

I suspect it's Harden The Fuck Up.

That's OK then - I suspected something worse and couldn't figure out what the HT meant.

Are all animals equal?

[boxy]

Yeah, the cute ones are more equal than the others.

[Hebe]

Yeah, the cute ones are more equal than the others.

Just like people really.

[mantra.]

Yeah, the cute ones are more equal than the others.

I don't know about that. It's true in some cases, but in others - it's the most dominant, forceful one that rules the pack.

[TomB]

Yeah, the cute ones are more equal than the others.

Pigs are cute? You've been looking at too many sheep.

Image search "piglet".

Then image search "rat" (or even "ratlet" if you like).

Then tell me pigs ain't cute.
