  3. Least Harm Principle on Ladies and Gentlemen Allow Me to Introduce the Cat Car · · Score: 2, Informative

    I wonder if the animal rights activists that are objecting to this possibility of making biodiesel from dead cats are really considering the relatvie costs in animals harmed in the production of feline diesel and petrodiesel. Perhaps the toal number of animals harmed in the production of petrodiesel (from pulling crude from a well, shipping that crude, refining, shipping the refined fuel, all the way to combustion) is greater than the production of biodiesel from a (already) dead cat.

    This paper (http://www.courses.rochester.edu/nobis/animals/Da vis-LeastHarm.htm) for instance argues that people who choose a vegan diet out of concern for the welfare of animals actually do more harm by taking their nutrients from foliage harvested via machinery that if they just ate the cows that harvested if for them.

I doubt most "artists" in this genre are not really concerned about begin taken seriously as most of the m rap self effacingly about their social inneptitude and general outcast status. See mc chris's "Geek" and Frontalot's "Indier Than Thou" as examples.
