Is it stupid that a vegan should be a fan of westerns?!
VEGANS & VEGETAIRIANS ONLY!.
Other than horse riding there isn't very much exploitation in most westerns!. And I'm not to sure if regular horse riding does horses much harm!. But whenever I see a western I am always aware of the leather belts and the pigs in sty's and it always has me thinking, "is it wrong to idolise cowboys, een if only fictional ones!." I know that modern day rodeos disgust me, but I'm thinking I shouldn't be suporting tese films even though they are decades old mostly!.
What are your veiws on Westerns!?
Do riding horses live good lifes with people as Dogs usually do!?
Thanks!. ;)Www@FoodAQ@Com

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is one of my favorite movies!. "The Ecstasy of Gold" (from G,B,&U) is one of my favorite songs (especially the Metallica cover)!. Right now I have Unforgiven, 3:10 to Yuma, and The Magnificent Seven in my Netflix queue!.
I'm a vegetarian, and I don't see any glaring contradictions with watching westerns!. Its not like I'm going to suddenly have the urge to put on a sombrero and roam the plains!. I don't see how its any worse than John Woo using doves in every one of his movies!. Leather belts are in almost every movie, so I don't see how that could stop me!. I'd be more worried about the orangutan in Dunston Checks In than the horses in westerns!.
I don't support rodeos either (and I live in Texas, so that's close to blasphemy)!. But rodeos and cowboy movies are completely different worlds!. Cowboys in movies are just archetypes!. They support the things any other heroes support (justice, bravery, etc!.), just in their own special way!. I don't think its wrong to support those values!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't see a problem with watching westerns!. They are really old movies and there was probably less cruelty to animals back then anyways!. There wasn't factory farms and people usually raised their own animals in the era that is portrayed!.
Plus watching westerns isn't promoting animal cruelty!.
People treasure horses like family pets!. People also torture horses, especially race horses!. It's the same with dogs and cats!. Some are treated great and some live horrible cruel lives!.
You are very aware they wear leather and you don't plan on doing that!. Don't worry about it!. Watch your movies and enjoy them!. That's what you like!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Why would there be a problem there!? You like westerns and that's fine!. The movies were made long ago and even if you didn't watch them, they would probably still get made!.
I have never really thought about Westerns, just that I find them boring!.
Riding horses are often strained and stressed!. Their backs and knees were not meant for so much work and weight!. I realize that many people take good "care" of their horse slaves, but some of the practices I disagree with, like breaking colts and blinding for long periods of time!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I agree with Piscespets!. Watching westerns doesn't mean you support animal cruelty!. I watch horror movies and crap like that, but that doesn't mean I support murder!. A lot of horses do live good lives!. They are loved and cared for by their owners!. But some aren't, just like dogs are sometimes abused!. It's sad!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
The old saying is practice what you preach!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
watch the movie, have some vegan popcorn and enjoy!. no conflict at allWww@FoodAQ@Com
The old west cowboy took very good care of his horse, since his life depended on the animal!. There were no cars, or trucks back then!. His job was bringing cattle to the stock yards to be butchered!. Back then it would be very hard to follow a vegan diet, unless you lived in the tropics!. There was no refrigeration, trains, trucks, or plans to bring us fresh fruits and veggies!. People relied on root crops and meat to survive the winters, they didn't really have any other choice!. Soy was a product only found in China, and there was no fake leather, or synthetic clothing back then either!. SO, enjoy your cowboy movies, he didn't have a choice if he wanted to live back then!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Nothing wrong as long as the animals aren't getting killed!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
You have your own beliefs and opinions!. Go ahead and watch them if you want, that doesn't mean you are supporting it!. You aren't doing any harm!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
many westerns are about cattle drives and cattle rustling!.!.!. that probably wouldn't go over well!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
No, it's not stupid!.
