"Flesh eating is unprovoked murder."
- Benjamin Franklin

So you say:
"You think that the average visitor is stupid enough to think that
someone actually did what is displayed on those pages."

Here is a quote of the article I sent in my previous post:

Since December 2000, The Humane Society of the United States has 
received literally thousands of complaints about a "Bonsai Kitten" 
web site—subsequently determined to be a hoax...

The site stimulate violence torward animals. That is my opinion 
which will not change, as much your opinion probably will not 
change. 

So as I have not the time right now to start an interesting ethical 
debate with you about the question of censoring a site or not, I 
will agree with your suggestion to drop the subject.

Below some quotes about vegetarianism:

"For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. 
Indeed, he who sows the seeds of murder and pain cannot reap joy and 
love."
- Pythagoras

Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival 
of life on earth as the evolution to a vegetarian diet."
- Albert Einstein
