In order for your boy to survive, he is going to need to kill (or have killed, thanks dad) and feed off of other living organisms. Also, this thread topic proves that humanity is evolving itself straight into extinction. Come along for the ride you see, the earth is better off with you dead.

I got your science for ya...

I allways tell vegetarians that scientists have been able to measure the screams plants make when they are uprooted.

Be proud of your son Sundiver. He thinks for himself and his motivations are humane.

He should think about the bacterial genocide of walking on the floor, showering, brushing his teeth...

As a counterpoint, I think I'll just reference Seagoon's post.

Er, what would Jesus tell him to do?

"Tell him this while you eat a carrot."

lol. And that point could be truly emphasized better when made right after a successful carrot hunt and using a fresh "daucus carota" carcass. IMO there's nothing better than sinking ones teeth into a roots attached, leafy head flopping about, unwashed carrot "kill" when delivering a message to todays "yoOophs" !

For we are carnivore. All others are meals, side dishes and snacks (ie: not including rocks, trees and mud or sand)

Having said and read: I do not believe that the teaching of science requires the sacrifice of any living organism simply to teach acedemic points.

In this sense, a frog a cat or a dog should not be killed simply to teach anotomy. But, on the other hand, if the animal was killed by other means, say an accident, or for other legitimate reasons, then I would agree with and support the use of the corpse to be used for teaching. In this sense it would be a worthwhile endeavor.
