hey, different strokes for different folks. The Chinese must think we're nuts to have all these tastey dogs running around that we actually feed and keep as pets. Tsk, tsk! What a waste!

At 9 a.m. on the morning of 4 October 1969, Diane Linkletter lept from the kitchen window of her West Hollywood apartment (at the Shoreham Towers at 8785 Shoreham Drive), plunging six floors to the sidewalk below. She died at County USC Medical Center at 10:30 a.m. The preliminary cause of death was given as "multiple traumatic injuries" according to a coroner's statement. An autopsy was conducted that afternoon.

....(The story changed once Diane was autopsied and the results of toxicological tests became known. Nothing unusual turned up in the screening, thus ruling out her having taken drugs that night.)
6 stories and no drugs.

Kitchen window typically means a very determined suicide ... they are typically small and you have to climb over the sink.

More lives are saved in the long run by worshipping those cows instead of eating them.
