Myself and other Best Gore members are people who don&#8217;t live with rose tinted sunglasses permanently mounted on our faces. On Best Gore, we have a name for human beings which was forged on the site &#8211; we call them Fleshy Viruses. Best Gore exposes the true nature of fleshy viruses but I never post any animal suffering.<\/p>\n<p>I did many interviews today and could tell that many reporters were disappointed to learn that they were speaking with biggest pacifist they&#8217;ve ever met in their entire lives. Perhaps it would make for a better mainstream story if I wore black latex clothes and bragged about how many animals I dissected in the past, but truth is neither myself nor any of regular Best Gore members would hurt a fly. We&#8217;re on Best Gore because we despise violence and cruelty of one who&#8217;s predisposed to be stronger against one who&#8217;s predisposed to be weaker. And we the people who don&#8217;t drive recklessly, don&#8217;t drive impaired, don&#8217;t beat other people up and don&#8217;t draw pleasure from kicking a man on the ground, we can&#8217;t stand animal suffering and that&#8217;s where I draw the line with content on Best Gore.<\/p>\n<p>Mark<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/day6\/blog\/2012\/06\/01\/exclusive-interview-with-mark-marek-from-best-gore-website\/\">Best Gore interview<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20120807055550\/http:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/day6\/blog\/2012\/06\/01\/exclusive-interview-with-mark-marek-from-best-gore-website\/\">https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20120807055550\/http:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/day6\/blog\/2012\/06\/01\/exclusive-interview-with-mark-marek-from-best-gore-website\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s just a shame that Mark Marek now refers to people opposed to BestGore.com as &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bestgore.com\/murder\/the-sheep-vs-best-gore\/\">sheep<\/a>&#8220;.
