Folk Music and the Environment
doki:
just a heads up, i'm resisting the urge to post here one of my anti vegan rants. i'm gonna wait and see how this thread turns out first.
on the topic, music and issues have always gone hand in hand. dont question it, accept it
Jackie Blue:
I guess I should explain for you young'uns, Earth Crisis, despite being kind of horrible musically, are notoriously hypocritical - at one point in the mid-90s or so it became common knowledge that the band members ate meat and fucked groupies and smoked and drank and everything else.
Then, all the kids who had gotten Earth Crisis tattoos felt like idiots.
Nodaisho:
So I have two questions.
1) Are they going to scold mountain lions for hunting their food? Maybe suggest tofu-rabbits?
2) Are they going to yell at bikers wearing leathers, or stick with the old ladies in fur coats?
@zero: Ah, I see, I never heard of them.
öde:
1) Mountain Lions don't breed their food in horrible conditions, gas the undesireable ones at birth, etc. Also, certain animals need to eat meat to survive, such as felines. Also, are you suggesting people are as aware as mountain lions, or mountain lions are as aware as humans? Also your point is similar to being against people who don't support people eating their own children if they smell wrong, using the argument "because hamsters do it".
2) Considering you've never heard of them, and I assume you're talking about Earth Crisis (I have never heard of them either, but there was a hilarious Earth Crisis tattoo in the tattoo thread), how do you know who they yell at, if anyone at all?

No offense, but I hope it's reasonably legible.
Nodaisho:
1) I agree that the meat breeding and killing market (what is the term for that again? I know there is one) is frequently inhumane, but their statement made no distinction between seal-clubbers, feedlot operators, and people that hunt only as much as they can eat, or hunt and donate the meat to soup kitchens. I would personally like to become one of those people that never eats meat that they haven't hunted themselves, but I don't think I could intentionally take the life of an animal, so I will probably end up continuing to eat meat from inhumanely-treated animals, since if I didn't see it happen, it is fine. Funny how the human mind works, isn't it?
I don't think that humans should do something solely because animals do it, I have even less desire to lick my hindside than I have ability to do so. The point I was making is that their statement seemed to imply that somehow we should go back to nature, some sort of paradise, when really, natural living would be living on the verge of starving and always living in fear of something that might consider you food.
2)By the quote I saw, they were sounding like the PETA people that yell at people wearing fur, throw paint/ketchup on them, etc, my comment was noting how those people never seem to aggravate the people that might respond in a less than civil way (civil: adj. running away from trouble and hoping it leaves you alone or someone else helps you).
