French vegans in dock over baby's death - Yahoo! News UK

The couple has been charged with "neglect or food deprivation followed by death" and face up to 30 years in prison if convicted.

Thoughts?

Grass is for cattle, cattle are for humans. God made food chains for a reason. If you are Vegan you can't possibly have god in your heart and your going to hell.

The parents didn't do anything wrong, they just ran bad with B12. Vitamin variance FTL.

Coulda happened to anyone.

"Expectant mothers and infants have special B12 needs as well. If you’re vegan and expecting, take a supplement everyday."

So maybe it's relatively common knowledge that vitamin B12 supplements should be taken in this situation? They sound like the same type of parents who would let their child die of disease because they distrusted antibiotics or vaccines.

B12 comes from cows!

"The couple did not follow the doctor's advice to hospitalise the baby who was suffering from bronchitis and was losing weight when they went for the nine-month check-up," Daquo said.
"They preferred applying clay or cabbage poultices whose recipes they found in their books. These are people who read the wrong thing at the wrong time," said Daquo.

I find this much more damning than the vegan thing.

I'm not sure how I feel about this.. more info is needed. And 30 years, even as a max sentence, is a hell of a long time.

Five years is too long

They're not malicious, just ill-informed and dumb. So is pretty much everybody else. They happen to be so in a particular way at a particular time where the result really sucks. They need help, not torture

Even if they were malicious, they still need help instead of torture. I almost never support prisons. The things are cathedrals of suffering

[Lukie]

Yeah I agree that they weren't malicious and I never said I supported them going to prison. There are some crummy people out there that do need to be locked up (and we surely disagree on numbers here) but this isn't a good example of that.

Still, ignoring a doctor's orders in regards to a serious illness of a baby/minor is pretty severely in the wrong IMO. Again, not really sure how I feel about this yet.

[spoonitnow]

Coulda happened to anyone who doesn't listen to their doctor about their baby's health.

Also they're dumbass French vegans who killed their baby. Just wanted to reiterate that point.

Bolt in the brain is actually very humane. The normal way to go is being mauled to death or suffocated or eaten alive or something equally terrifying. The real bad stuff of how we treat animals is in their caging, not how we kill them

Wufufy is right. How they live is much worse than how they die. Have you ever seen an industrial chicken farm? It's horrible.

I used to daydream about money and women. Now I daydream about sustenance farming and women.

Oh, and this thread makes me want a cheeseburger.

I had two steaks and a whole cauliflower bunch for dinner last night. Beef FTW

Doctor killed the baby to prove a point because family wouldn't listen to him.
