I don't think that guy next to you was a farmer, you obviously overlooked the coaster that craps on you. After all, you did miss a lot at the Wisconsin state fair.
I'm sure there are many different ways, PETA wants you to think that that's the only way. Take kosher meat for example, in order for it to be kosher the animal has to be slaughtered in the most painless way possible. Also, I have no idea on the skinning subject, but logically I would think the animal would be dead before it, to at least make it easier for the person skinning
Actually, you have it backwards. Almost all humans (and mammals) are born with the ability to produce the lactase enzyme (to digest breast milk obviously), but due to a mutation a small amount of people stop producing lactase as they grow older.

Thanks, didn't know that.
Eh, yes and no. I understand your point about that behavior being odd, but humans evolved to have a trait that helps digest another animal's milk. Lactose intolerant people do not have this. We got this way due to a mutation, and it was favorable in the conditions that it happened in, so that's why we can and do drink milk of other animals.
Whew.
I love BS, it's the best show on TV. I'd definitely go see 'em in Vegas, but that would be just about the only reason I'd go, with all the me beign underage and the crappy coasters.
