You see, this isn't helpful to the discussion at all.I'm guessing than that you have never had a pet such as a dog or cat. If you did, was Rover tasty or is his head mounted on your wall?

The whole point of "don't name your food" is to prevent cognitive dissonance of this sort.I'm guessing than that you have never had a pet such as a dog or cat. If you did, was Rover tasty or is his head mounted on your wall?
I don't agree with the term "faux outrage" which is why I reformulated it.My examples are things all, or almost all, of us on TF have expressed outraged about. I was commenting on cbi's implication that personal knowledge of the victim and where it occurred were necessary for the outrage to be real. But, OK. If I hear about a dog being abused and killed in Podunk, KS, is it OK for me to be outraged about it? We've pretty much all expressed outrage about occurrences like that, too. But, if we don't know the animal or the town, why should we care? Right?
No but it was an appropriate reply to the quoted post.You see, this isn't helpful to the discussion at all.
Of course I'm outside the "almost all" group.My examples are things all, or almost all, of us on TF have expressed outraged about.

Actually I have had a few dogs. They were tools for hunting not pets. A lion wouldn't make a suitable pet either, but I'm not sure how tasty they could be.I'm guessing than that you have never had a pet such as a dog or cat. If you did, was Rover tasty or is his head mounted on your wall?
