I've posted this to several groups already, and want to
see if the reaction from people in the Alaska group is
significantly different than it has been from people in
the others. Here's the post:

For years people cloaked beneath the gross misnomer
of "animal rights advocates/activists" have been insisting
that we give no consideration at all to the lives of animals
raised for food when those lives are of positive value to
the animals. They insist we do not consider what the animals
gain from being farmed, regardless of the quality of their lives.
To "aras" it is all pure exploitation *because* the animals are
killed deliberately by humans. There are some even more
extreme beliefs than that, going so far as to insist we never
give the lives of any creatures any consideration at all.

People in Alaska are no different than anyone else, they'll read your post
for about 15 seconds, tops, then correctly dismiss you as a complete nitwit.

"In the Footsteps of Alexander" with Michael Woods on PBS, he found
the Lakash, up in the Pakistan mtns next to Tibet, who claimed they
were descendants of wounded solders left there by Alexander. This is
believeable because they said it in ancient Greek.

And they were still *Dionysian*. I've often wondered why modern
"neopagans" have not gone there to meet the real McCoy. Anyway, while
there, the sacrificed a goat. Now, we all know the way the Bible says
to do it, build an altar, pile on the firewood, and burn the whole
animal up to the greater honor of Jehovah, or whatever his name is.

But here, the altar to Dionysus is right by the pasture gate. Grab
goat, slit throat, throw a handful of blood on the altar, then go have
a barbi cause Dionysus loves a good party. Now, that's my kind of
God.

Note- they didnt pack the animal on a noisy truck for a long ride to a
slaughterhouse with the smell of blood in the air. With the pagans,
one minute, the goat expected to be fed, the next, its meat.
