Do All Vegans Think This Way?

[Pam]

These people should be glad I am not ruling the world. The mother would be getting a tubal and the father would get *the big snip* to make sure they can't do this ever again.

These people need to go to prison. I think they murdered their poor baby. That poor little baby - starved to death. This story just breaks my heart.

Puckstop - maybe the child would not have died...but these parents being so clueless, they might have neglected him in other ways. Who knows?

[JenBKR]

Wow....that poor baby. I really think that the parents need some serious psychological help. My first thought also was why didn't mom breastfeed, but as someone mentioned, maybe due to her diet she wasn't able to produce milk. I wonder if the husband has her under his control.......

CNN has a video of the father complaining about the jail food.

Then they should feed him nothing at all.

That is so shocking, the photos of that poor little baby....and that would have been on the fathers mind while he complained about the jail food ????
So pathetic....those two should get the death sentence.

Probably true... My comment was not a jab at Vegans, it was an honest query.

Tough dookie. Unless they somehow say that being vegan is a religion (and what a mess THAT precedent could end up being) he is just going to have to suck it up. Either eat the food they give you or starve, just like their child.

[JenBKR]

I am sure that there are lots of vegan parents out there with perfectly healthy children. These parents starved their baby, pure and simple

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Well... Would this have happened had the parents not been vegan?

Quite possibly - they sound particularly clueless to me

Pam...I am so with you on this one. People need a license to drive a car....why can they breed without a license? The ability to reproduce does NOT equal the ability to be an adequate parent.

[Pawsitive Thinking]

What about ante and post natal care? where were the authorities on this one

[Ginger's Mom]

Well... Would this have happened had the parents not been vegan?

Sadly the answer to this is yes. There are people out there that have starved their infants/children to death and they have not been vegans. They have used other excuses like my religion doesn't allow me to buy food or breast feed, or I didn't think my child needed more than 1 ounce of food a day, and many many more. I don't know if anyone has said "I did it because I am an uncaring, selfish person, so please don't hold me responsible for my actions", although that may be the main cause for such incidences.
