Vegetarians 0, Meat Eaters 1

By Diana Hsieh @ 7:01 AM

Here's a damn funny bit from the BBC sketch show That Mitchell and Webb Look on the morality of vegetarianism:



For the record, I am not in favor of eating the cats of vegetarians. Also, I'm not sure whether cats are gamey or not.

They had a radio show, too. That Mitchell and Webb Sound on Radio 4. Some of it is stuff they re-did later for the sketch show, others are nice gems you won't get anywhere else.

E.g., opening remarks at Hogwarts for new members of Hufflepuff House:

So glad you've discovered the wonder that is Mitchell and Webb. :)

In addition to fine comedy, this sketch also makes the point that the demand for eating certain animals pretty much guarantees that they will not go extinct. As John Stossel has written, "Eat the Tigers!" <http://townhall.com/columnists/JohnStossel/2009/05/13/eat_the_tigers!>
