Talk:Force-feeding

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Should human force-feeding (e.g. suffragettes) and the animal-rearing practice really be on the same page? --Dpr 17:12, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

In a "force-feeding" article, I believe so. Whether or not there should be a separate "force-feeding of prisoners" article is another matter, and, even so, I don't think such separate articles would be necessary. I removed the paragraph about Falun Gong. If, as it is claimed, force-feeding is practised to torture prisoners, rather than to feed them, the linked website source should substantiate that claim. However, if you would care to look for yourself, you'd see that every example given by the Falun Dafa Information Center involved the words "hunger strike", so it's evidently the case that force-feeding was used to "counter (self-)starvation", rather than for "other purposes". Given the source of this information, the Falun Dafa Information Center, and the fact that EVERY "victim" of force-feeding has claimed that there was a degree of sadism and torture, it's safe to say that this is little more than anti-communist propoganda. --213.121.151.146 07:41, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

It seems to me the references to Gitmo are NOT NPOV. They are onesided based solely on one lawyers repeating what one prisoner said are not fact based info about Force-feeding in general.
