HOW TO BEAT A VEGAN IN ANY ARGUMENT
: Your step-by-step guide to justify killing animals and destroying the planet.
Step 1: REMIND THEM THAT OUR ANCESTORS ATE MEAT- No vegan is aware of this, but one thing they are aware of is that if humans have been doing something for thousands of years, it must be acceptable. After all, there’s nothing worse than moral progress!
Step 2: BECOME A PLANT RIGHTS ACTIVIST- Everyone knows that cutting the throat of live animals and cutting vegetables is the same thing. Vegans aren’t aware of the fact that plants feel pain too, and make sure to raise your voice whenever a vegan cuts a carrot.
Step 3: ASK THEM WHAT THEY’D DO IF THEY WERE STRANDED ON A DESERT ISLAND- Vegans routinely get stuck on desert islands and have to eat animals of desert for survival.
Step 4: REMIND THEM THAT EATING MEAT ISN’T ILLEGAL – If politicians think killing animals is okay, then it must be!
Step 5: SHOUT “UMM CHICKEN” REPEATEDLY- Vegans have never heard of this product. This will disorientate the vegan.
Step 6: POINT AT YOUR CANINE TEETH-
we know that if you have a body part capable of doing something, that means it’s okay to do whatever it/they can be used for. For consistency, make sure to sexually assault someone and then point at your penis when the police questions you why you did it.
Step 7: TELL THEM THAT WE NEED TO EAT ANIMAL PRODUCTS TO SURVIVE- Many vegans are unaware of the fact that they are actually dead, much like Bruce Willis’ character in ‘The Sixth Sense’.
Step 8: TELL THEM THAT MEAT IS TASTY- vegans aren’t aware of this, since none of them have ever eaten meat in their entire lives. Just tell them meat is yummy,they will definitely start killing animals for meat.
Step 9: TELL THEM VEGAN FOOD TASTES LIKE SHIT- It’s a well known fact that not a single one of the 20,000 edible plant species on earth or the spices and other products derived from them are even slightly appetising.
Step 10: REMIND THEM THAT THEY USE ELECTRICITY AND MOBILE PHONES- Being involved in a justice movement is hypocritical if you use electricity or mobile phones. Be sure to also tell racial equality campaigners, women rights and gay rights activists and anti child abuse campaigners that their cause is pointless for the same reason.
Step 11: CALL THEM PUSSY AND WEAK- we all know the one who cares for the weak and voiceless is pussy and weak by heart, tell them that killing the weakest animals remorselessly is what makes us strong.
Step 12: REMIND THEM THAT YOUR SITUATION IS JUST LIKE A LION’S – tell them you eat meat because you wanna be a lion! Let them know about that one time you stalked your prey down in a jungle with your canine teeth and flawless strength of your jaws and limbs to feed your family who was dying of hunger.
Step 13: MAKE THEM AWARE OF HOW YOU EATING MEAT AND ANIMAL PRODUCTS ACTUALLY BENEFITS THINGS- Finally, make the vegan aware of all the good eating meat, cheese, milk, eggs, fish, etc. does for animals, the environment, and other humans. Seeing as veganism helps none of those things, this will make the vegan realise which is the cause REALLY worth fighting for.
Step 14:- MAKE THEM AWARE THAT WE ARE OMNIVORES BECAUSE WE CAN MAKE WEAPONS TO HUNT ANIMALS- many vegans aren’t aware that even if we are not biologically and naturally capable of hunting animals, we can use weapons to kill them,so that makes us omnivores, for consistency make sure to kill your neighbour’s dog with a weapon and tell them that you did it because you are an omnivore.
STEP 15- LET THEM KNOW THE FARM ANIMALS ARE RAISED BY US SO ITS OK TO TAKE THEIR LIVES AWAY- for consistency kill your own children and tell the police that you did it because you brought them into existence, police will definitely understand you.
Step 16- TELL THEM ITS YOUR PERSONAL CHOICE – it’s a well known fact that its a personal choice to cut the throats of the animals just to eat them.
Step 17- TELL THEM VEGANS ARE ANNOYING AND THEY SHOULDN’T ACT AS IF THEY ARE SUPERIOR TO EVERYONE ELSE- Despite the fact that they do live by a higher ethical standard, they shouldn’t feel superior just because they don’t take lives of the animals. Let them know killing animals is what makes us superior.
Step 18- TELL THEM ITS THE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST- Its a well known fact that the strong prey on the weak and nature is cruel, for consistency make sure to kill little kids and then tell the police “its survival of the fittest,the strong prey on the weak and tell them nature is cruel”.
Step 19- FINALLY SHUT THEM UP AND TELL THEM TO STOP FORCING THEIR BELIEFS DOWN YOUR THROAT- we all know that forcing knives against the Throats of animals is better than forcing our beliefs down someone’s throat who isn’t comfortable with hearing the truths.
Coronaviruses extremely widespread in wildlife trade: study
By Liam Mannix
June 14, 2020 – 4.27pm
Coronaviruses are extremely widespread in wild animals bred for food in
Vietnam, with the wildlife supply chain quickly spreading those viruses to
uninfected animals, preliminary research shows.
The study did not find the specific strain of coronavirus that causes
COVID-19, but it illustrates how efficiently the $300 billion global
wildlife trade amplifies animal viruses and brings them into contact with
humans – the exact process most scientists suspect is behind the emergence
of COVID-19 at a wet market in Wuhan.
“These results are pretty much what all of us in this business expect,” said
Professor Hamish McCallum, a wildlife disease ecologist at Griffith
University’s Environmental Futures Research Institute.
“If you wanted a way to transfer viruses between species and amplify them,
you couldn’t find a better way to do it than wildlife trading.”
Humans are affected by a few hundred viruses; scientists…

Record spikes in new coronavirus cases, hospitalizations sweep parts of U.S.
JUNE 14, 2020 / 7:47 AM / UPDATED 3 HOURS AGO
(Reuters) – New coronavirus cases and hospitalizations in record numbers swept through more U.S. states, including Florida and Texas, as most push ahead with reopening and President Donald Trump plans an indoor rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Alabama, Florida and South Carolina reported a record number of new cases for the third day in a row on Saturday, which many state health officials partly attribute to gatherings over the Memorial Day holiday weekend in late May.
Oklahoma reported record new cases for the second day in a row, and Alaska did so for the first time in weeks. Arizona and Nevada reported…

Lockdown Measures Return To Beijing As Testing Reveals Cluster At Major Food Market

China’s capital of Beijing has discovered 42 symptomatic new cases of the coronavirus since Thursday, leading city authorities to resurrect lockdown measures and elevating fears of a second wave of infections.
All the new cases were linked to the sprawling Xinfadi wholesale food market in the south of Beijing, which supplies the city and its environs with 1,500 tons of seafood, 18,000 tons of vegetables and 20,000 tons of fruit every day, according to the market’s website.
The first new case was confirmed Thursday, after one man who bought produce from the seafood and meat section of the Xinfadi market on June 3 tested positive for COVID-19. It is not yet clear how he became infected as he denied having any recent travel history. Two more cases were identified the following day, and the market was sealed off as of early Saturday morning.
Authorities said they tested 5,803 people working at the market on Saturday alone — all were negative for the coronavirus — as well as 2,383 samples taken from surfaces within the market. Those have been in contact with the market or people who have contacted the market since May 30 have been asked by municipal authorities to voluntarily submit themselves to a nucleic acid exam.
On top of the 42 cases, authorities have discovered at least 48 asymptomatic cases of the coronavirus linked to the market, meaning the people carrying the virus have yet to show symptoms. They are being kept under medical observation in quarantine, Beijing health authorities said over the weekend.
Lockdown measures, which had been rapidly easing up before the cluster of cases was discovered in Beijing, are now partially returning.
Municipal authorities shut down sporting events and tourism sites in the capital on Saturday. Restaurants are once again discouraged from accepting large groups for dining together. Eleven residential complexes near the market have been locked down and its residents forbidden from leaving. Beijing’s Fengtai district, where Xinfadi market is located, was designated a high risk area on Sunday.
Wu Zunyou, an epidemiologist with China’s center for disease control, said Sunday the virus was likely transmitted from seafood and meat products whose surfaces were contaminated after being handled by infected people elsewhere.
Two samples taken from the market detected variants of the coronavirus that were more similar to those that are prevalent in Europe rather than the variant most commonly detected in patients in China, Zeng Guang, another epidemiologist at China’s center for disease control, told Chinese media.
Many of the cities largest luxury hotels and restaurants said they were voluntarily disposing of all their raw fish and would stop serving seafood.
Others urged restraint and calm.
“Beijing will not became a second Wuhan. It will not spread the virus to other cities around the country or warrant a city-wide lockdown,” a former health commission senior expert, Zeng, told state media on Sunday.
CHAZ changes name to CHOP to better reflect the demonstrations’ message

SEATTLE – Gaining national attention with a growing audience, what was once known as the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” has been rebranded and renamed – “Capitol Hill Organized Protest.”
Without a leader and with more voices chiming in, some of the protesters that have been pushing for police reform and advocating for Black Lives Matter at the now-abandoned East Precinct say it’s a move to get the movement back on track.
“That name, “CHAZ,” we didn’t actually come up with,” said protester Maurice Cola.
“We’re not sure if it was detractors or people trying to push a false narrative, but they definitely came in with that name, came with the signs and they had nothing to do with our movement so far.”

Before “CHAZ” was born, it was just one week ago when protesters and police faced off at 11th and E. Pine with the crowd later being dispersed through the use of flash bangs and pepper spray. Seattle Police say some protesters were throwing things like rocks, bottles and incendiary devices at officers.
Now “CHOP,” Cola says what’s happening on Capitol Hill was never about seceding from the United States. He also says Facebook pages popping up under the name “CHAZ” had been done without protesters knowing.

In the nearly week it’s been around, intrigue and crowds continue to grow, many coming out to see it for themselves. From a co-op that’s been getting larger to people now selling t-shirts, Cola and others have expressed concern that the message is getting drowned out.
“We’re noticing a lot of tourists coming in and some of the narratives are getting lost with all the extra added energy,” said Cola. “We’re trying to keep the focus. This is not Coachella.”
The biggest question remains is – how long will this go on? At this point, it’s anyone’s guess. Cola says talks with the city haven’t amounted to much.

What once read “Welcome to CHAZ” has been tweaked to read “CHOP.” The guy who reworked this welcome tells me it’s a rebrand to “re-centralize the focus back to the #BlackLivesMatter movement” #KOMONews
“We’ve definitely had communication but as far as actual progress, no,” Cola said. “The conditions of them actually being supportive, no. They’re allies with the national narrative but they’re not friends on the front.”
Throughout Saturday, the gathering remained peaceful.
Fox News Removes Altered Photos of Seattle Protest Zone
The Seattle Times noted misleading images used in the network’s coverage about a Seattle neighborhood that’s become a protest center against police brutality and racial injustice.
- PUBLISHED 14 JUNE 2020
SEATTLE (AP) — Fox News has removed digitally altered photos from its website after the Seattle Times on Friday noted misleading images used in the network’s coverage about a Seattle neighborhood that’s become a protest center against police brutality and racial injustice.
As of Saturday, Fox News included an editors note posted at the top of at least three stories on its website covering the protest zone, saying it replaced a “home page photo collage” because it “did not clearly delineate between these images” and that it mistakenly included a St. Paul, Minnesota, photo in a slideshow about Seattle.
The Seattle Times reported Fox News’ website featured at least two photos on Friday…

Critics slam plans for black bear hunt in Missouri next year
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A proposal to allow the first black bear hunt in modern Missouri history is drawing strong interest, particularly from opponents.
The Missouri Department of Conservation asked for public response to a plan for a limited black bear hunt next year as a way to manage a bear population that is growing and expanding its range. The department said between 540 and 840 black bears live in Missouri, mostly south of the Missouri River.
The state Conservation Commission must ultimately approve the proposal.
The comment period, which ended June 5, drew more than 3,300 responses. As of June 2, more than 67% of the respondents opposed the idea, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Some opponents object to hunting generally, while others didn’t like some details of the plan, such as imposing a quota or holding the bear hunt during deer hunting season.

Letters: Allowing animal cruelty in hunting is a new low
(6/13/20)
Allowing animal cruelty in hunting is a new low
Re: “Banned hunting techniques revived,” June 10 news story
One may question how much lower can this present government stoop? The small article in Wednesday’s Denver Post may give many people yet another glimpse into the inhumane and deplorable policy change regarding hunting on federal land, primarily at this point in Alaska.
According to the article’s information, the president, Donald Trump Jr., the Safari Club International, Alaskan state leaders, and hunting advocates have succeeded in reversing the Obama-era restrictions on barbaric hunting methods. Two of the many cruel methods listed in the article are “using spotlights to blind and shoot hibernating black bears and their cubs in dens, and gunning down swimming caribou from motorboats.” Maybe we don’t need to question how much lower some human beings can go.

Officials say Chafee hunting plan poses danger
SOUTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. — Reversing a ban on hunting at the Chafee National Wildlife Refuge in Narragansett and South Kingstown continued to draw opposition this week as the deadline for comments drew to a close amid warnings of danger area residents face from hunters.
Among the last vocal critics was Robert Zarnetske, South Kingstown town manager, saying that nearby residents and homes could be hurt by weapons, including bullets from guns, hunters use to shoot deer, turkeys and birds on the Chafee property.
“The town further maintains allowing hunting at Chafee will expose the neighboring…
