My cousin's husband published an interesting post a few weeks ago on the relationship between Michael Vick torturing dogs and people who eat meat (omnivores or carnivores). I didn't read it very carefully, but I gathered that he was saying that people are hypocrites if they eat meat and at the same time scorn Mister Vick for hanging and gutting dogs.
At first I thought this was crazy. Is eating a hamburger really the same as strapping a dog upside down and beating it to death? I guess I never thought about it. Perhaps he is right.
The topic has peaked my interest, and I am now on a crusade to find out if torturing dogs is the same or even related to eating meat.
Starting today, I will begin a vegetarian diet. I will continue this for one week. I will then get more extreme and move to a vegan diet for one week. Each day I will document the likelihood of me torturing a dog. At the end of this experiment, I will know if eating a hamburger is truly similar or related to torturing animals.
Last night we had Lord Baldemort and Cheesesteak's family over for a fondue party to kick off the event. Let's just say I stored up enough meat for this 2 week experiment! It was very tasty. Don't worry "Chas"tity, we will have you over for fondue when the trial run is completed.
Likelihood of torturing a dog: 2.3% (There is the off chance of me stooping this low if my child were to be brutally killed and eaten by a dog. The dingo stole my baby!)

Interesting experiment. I'm not sure if I could go without meat for more than 2 days. I don't think I would torture a dog, even though I hate animals with a passion. Although, the possibility of me eating a dog if no beef or chicken were available, 80% I gotta have meat!
I have a request for advice from the Dr. Please post this question as I believe it may be the most valuable to date. My wife keeps strict tabs on family funds. She calls me out on every dime I spend. Do you have any clever ways of skimming a little extra dough?
I just want everyone to know I didn't ask that question. I think I know the Donkey's advice...steal change
