If you can demonstrate some sort of correlation between animal rights views and other views that are generally regarded as "left wing", well, great, I'll try hard to stay awake and pretend I care. Alas, I cannot aspire to the level of sanity that the OP exhibits, it is just not the way I am wired up. I suppose there is nothing for it but to deny my right to free speech, for the sake of fighting fascism.

I think PETArds will find a way to join the other whachos that are DICTATING NO OIL DRILLING, 20 YEARS TO FANCY ALT FUELS, NO QUESTIONS, NO MIDDLE EAST OIL. Then there's Republicans, who believe DRILL UNITED STATES OIL, BURN ENVIRONMENTALISTS (for fun or for fuel), GET OFF MIDDLE EAST OIL, ALTERNATIVE ADVANCEMENT is working in the private sector, but has many many years (5? 10? 20? Obama doesnt' know cuz he's phony) The people that are stupid are obvious, and will be looking for horses soon.

What they try to avoid are products which provide life (and death) for farm animals, but even then they would have to avoid the following items containing animal by-products in order to be successful: Tires, Paper, Upholstery, Floor waxes, Glass, Water Filters, Rubber, Fertilizer, Antifreeze, Ceramics, Insecticides, Insulation, Linoleum, Plastic, Textiles, Blood factors, Collagen, Heparin, Insulin, Solvents, Biodegradable Detergents, Herbicides, Gelatin Capsules, Adhesive Tape, Laminated Wood Products, Plywood, Paneling, Wallpaper and Wallpaper Paste, Cellophane Wrap and Tape, Abrasives, Steel Ball Bearings The meat industry provides life for the animals that it slaughters, and the animals live and die as a result of it as animals do in other habitats. They also depend on it for their lives as animals do in other habitats. If people consume animal products from animals they think are raised in decent ways, they will be promoting life for more such animals in the future. People who want to contribute to decent lives for livestock with their lifestyle must do it by being conscientious consumers of animal products, because they can not do it by being vegan. From the life and death of a thousand pound grass raised steer and whatever he happens to kill during his life, people get over 500 pounds of human consumable meat...that's well over 500 servings of meat. From a grass raised dairy cow people get thousands of dairy servings. Due to the influence of farm machinery, and *icides, and in the case of rice the flooding and draining of fields, one serving of soy or rice based product is likely to involve more animal deaths than hundreds of servings derived from grass raised animals. Grass raised animal products contribute to fewer wildlife deaths, better wildlife habitat, and better lives for livestock than soy or rice products. � |
