[QUOTE="Average at Best, post: 337027, member: 14548"] I'm a PETA follower, and I'm not an urban tree-hugger, and I hate hippies (they need haircuts). I don't agree with everything that PETA says and does. I am on their email list and some of the stuff they send out is absolutely nuts, I'll admit. I love me a juicy steak every so often, and just this weekend, I killed a nest of baby rattlers in my yard with a spade. Not neccessarily PETA material, I know. All the same, I love animals. They are not equal to us, and as the Bible states, we have stewardship over them, but that does not mean we can make them suffer needlessly. Yes, we use them for food. I buy my produce from local farmers, so that I know the cow I am eating is the same one I saw grazing last week, not some worn out heffer that spent its miserable life in a crowded pen. It's healthier for me as well, and I support my local economy. Yes, we use them for cancer research. This does not mean that it's ethical to torture bunnies so that Revlon can make a mascara that is waterproof in a tsunami. Yes, we use them in horse racing. This does not mean that we make them weak through imbreeding, and jeopardize their lives by giving them medication on gameday so that they cannot realize that they are beyond their own physical limit. I'm not disagreeing with you - I'm just saying that there are levels to us PETA nuts, and that some people are a little more sane about their love of animals. I wouldn't choose the life of an animal over the life of a human (in most cases - depends on the human), but some simple things can be done to treat them a little more humanely. [/QUOTE]
