I am.. on the fence. I've yet to see a convincing argument either way - I would be uncomfortable with it because it would encourage exploitation.

Nah it's more like the difference between clipping a cat's claws and declawing them. One prevents painful scratches while still allowing your cat the use of their claws for grooming and balance and the other is unspeakably inhumane. Chooks can still eat with blunted beaks. It'd be kind of...

Uh, chooks can't feel their beaks either, at least not the tips before their nasal passages. It's all keratin.

It is not legal to cut off chicken beaks, by which I assume you mean amputating them completely; but as the beak itself is just keratin and has no nerves, just like cow horns or your own fingernails, trimming off the sharp edge to prevent them from pecking other chooks isn't illegal and isn't...

What? No there isn't, and that is a monumentally stupid argument that has been made time and time again. The only contemporary, primary proof there is that Jesus even existed is.. wait, there isn't any. The gospels were written at least three decades, possibly over a century, after he died...

Not everyone can get exactly the combinations of days/lines they want online. Hence the queues at Madsen.

Lamy Safaris are very good for daily bashing around. I've used mine nearly every day for six years and it has served me well (with a few nib replacements due to accidents!). They're very good value for money and they look stylish too. And writing with a fountain pen sorted out my handwriting...

Hahha awesome! Good to hear! What did you end up getting him?

Re: Peace in Israel-Palestine Behave.

I agree with Kieran - the Iran Republic has been sowing the seeds of its own desctruction for a while now, and I would be very surprised if some kind of serious political revolution didn't arise sooner rather than later.

Theories in the colloquial sense, I think you mean, given in science there are no theories without data. Be careful when bandying about the term "theory" in the context of knowledge and scientific thought.

It's true. A slightly more reputable source: Moon landing tapes got erased, NASA admits | U.S. | Reuters

Or, if you're me and a sucker for punishment, zoom in close and use the eraser/brush tool.

The judge on the far right looks smexy tonight.

Lol Poh. "...and you eat it in your mouth."

Are you kidding me? I epilated once and it was the most painful thing ever - like waxing but SLOWLY and in LITTLE BITS AT A TIME OH MY GOD

I do believe I also recall saying that all bets are off in a survival situation. I'd even eat offal, as that's where most of the nutrients are.

Your birds have been raised as pets. I wouldn't eat a pet, as I have stated. People raise chickens as pets; I wouldn't eat them. A chook raised for food? No problem. No emotional attachments involved.

If it wasn't endangered and I hadn't really formed an emotional attachment to it as a pet, and it'd been raised for food? Sure. Why not. Much the same as quail, I'd assume.
