Dan,
Good to hear from you.
I only got Ted's book a month or so ago (I chose the cheap and slow option 
of surface mail from Canada!) it's certainly a mammoth tome.
I think in cultures like the Karenni they are so distant from our own 
understanding of society it must be hard for some westerners to comprehend 
a fair proportion of their habits. I've always thought that it is strange 
that if we can bring ourself to eat an animal, why not any animal. The 
reason of course is sentimentalism. But I suppose the borderline 
illustration between pets and food is rabbit, probably a 50/50 split?
I filmed some young RAF recruits going through survival excercises late 
last year. They had to kill their chickens to provide them with meat. It 
was interesting that many declined to kill but were still happy to eat. 
Myself I figure that if you're prepared to eat, you should also be prepared 
to kill, but I guess if that was implemented the world would have rather 
more vegetarians!

Asa someone else on the LUG commented, what happens when we discover the 
amount of feelings that plants have? How compassionate can we feel towards 
them?

anyway, enough ramblings,

Jem

Hi Jem

Thanks for the compliments. Ted Grant's book inspired some of the work put
up at that site.

Yes, I have the Karenni book. Nice reading. Some of my friends were quite
disturbed to learn that the Karennis eat dogs.
