       [quote]Rural communities have suffered a steep rise in hare
       coursing, with the RSPCA saying the growing involvement of gangs
       in wildlife crimes is a major factor in its decision to hand
       over its 200-year-old prosecuting powers to the CPS.
       Dozens of rural landowners are being repeatedly targeted by
       gangs who gather to bet on the outcome of dogs chasing down and
       killing as many hares as possible.
       ...
       The RSPCA’s chief executive, Chris Sherwood, said on Saturday:
       “We’re involved in cases that involve cock fighting, badger
       baiting and hare coursing[/quote]

       They obviously think it's OK to be "white" against hares also.

       I'm not going to post links because I don't want to give them
       extra clicks, but a type of YouTube video that I have found
       disgusting is when Western parents/pet owners do experiments on
       their offspring/pets to see how their pets will react to various
       stimuli (and record the reaction to upload to make money).
       Admittedly, these are mostly not physically painful experiments,
       but they are cruel nonetheless because the children/pets do not
       understand that they are being experimented upon. To anyone with
       honour, all interpersonal communication should be based on
       mutual respect, with all parties having the same information
       about the context of the communication. One person experimenting
       on the other is the most flagrant disregard of this principle,
       as by definition the experimentee has to be unaware of the
       experimenter's intentions in order for the experiment to work
       properly.
       Yet Westerners apparently cannot help themselves. Casual
       experimentation at every possible opportunity seems to be
       inseparable from Western behaviour. The kind of experiments they
       think up to record and upload* are ideas that would never occur
       to me even if I had nothing else to do. The entire mode of
       Westerners' interaction with everything around them is one of
       fundamental disrespect. And they see nothing wrong with it! This
       is how inferior their entire civilization is.
       (* And that they can now make money from it just ensures they
       will do even more of it......)

       I hate it too! My most notable experience with this is what my
       "half-sister" does to my nephew sometimes: puts a piece of
       chocolate in front of him and then tells him he cannot eat any
       until she gets back in the room. She has the camera hidden and
       films him sitting in front of the chocolate. Her reasoning is
       that it teaches patience. I see it as unnecessary torture.

       "teaches patience"
       Did your nephew ask to be taught patience? If so, fair enough.
       If not, however, you should put a loaded firearm in front of
       your nephew and tell him that he can shoot your half-sister with
       it anytime he wants to.

       BTW what is your opinion on lab grown meat?

       Obviously it is less cruel and less damaging to the environment,
       so I would of course prefer meat-eaters to eat it in place of
       slaughtered meat, but I will not be eating it myself (I don't
       even like vegan meat substitute that too closely resembles meat
       in flavour/texture!)
       It is a strong example of the unique inferiority of Western
       thinking that even those who are uncomfortable with the
       slaughter industry would rather invent machines to grow meat
       than simply cut meat from their diet altogether.
       My biggest practical worry is that, if lab grown meat replaces
       slaughtered meat, the incentive to prohibit meat-eaters from
       reproducing will evaporate, and thus their inferior bloodlines
       will remain in the world.
       By the way, look at this ****:
  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultured_meat#Religious_considerations
       [quote]Jewish rabbinical authorities disagree whether cultured
       meat is kosher (food that may be consumed, according to Jewish
       dietary laws). However, many rabbis agree that if the original
       cells were taken from a slaughtered kosher animal then the
       cultured meat will be kosher.[/quote]

       I have never understood why people make vegan food look like
       meat either, that makes no sense to me at all? And, it usually
       looks like poop!
       I won't be eating synthetic meat either. I don't eat enough to
       feel too guilty about my mostly vegetarian diet, but when I
       finally switch to full vegan and start eating regularly I
       definitely won't be buying any plant-based "meat" products
       either. Completely defeats the purpose of ethical veganism in
       the first place in my opinion....

       I find the smell of meat itself to be nauseating and avoid food
       that has been prepared using utensils that were used for meat.
       Also, why do you say "less cruel"?

       The lab grown meat will not be subjected to the experiences of
       animals currently raised for meat.

       So are you saying the lab-grown meat is sentient?
