Animals shouldn't have to suffer for us humans needlessly. However, I would like to see how many PETA members sign up to replace test animals in some cosmetics lab to see if the new shampoo burns their scalp off. Cruel, but a somewhat necessary evil. And for fuck sakes, most all of the wonderful little creatures out there would eat US if it came down to it. There has to be some happy medium. I say-- dogs make excellent pets and friends; anyone who wears fur is obviously confused enough not to see how fucking ugly it usually is; we should respect the fact that animals do have working emotions and pain receptors; and if anyone thinks that cows have a greater place in this world than providing me milk, cheese, and countless savory burgers and steaks their better off heading for greener pastures.

Again it's not PETA...I agree for the most part. Again it's not PETA's cause with which I take offense, it is the sophomoric methods they use to promote that cause.<br /><br />As for vegans, sure good on them, they practice what they preach. I am not sure if what they preach holds any logical merit, I see it more as extreme self-righteousness. Humans are omnivores, we devour everything in sight. It's ugly but true.<br /><br />I was a vegetarian for close to ten years. I would sit and watch folks eat these wonderful meals, and don't get me wrong, I was well taken care of, I ate wonderful meals myself, but I felt left out. I also grew tired of trying to explain why I didn't eat meat. The whole animals have feelings thing sorta just lost it's glitter after awhile. I out grew it, I wanted a steak damn it!Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08899045484063901487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7462211970946499736.post-25759121673580332632009-10-21T23:11:50.762-03:002009-10-21T23:11:50.762-03:00Perez Hilton is a dick head. If anyone out there ...Perez Hilton is a dick head. If anyone out there thinks otherwise, they should go on some strong medication. Either that or go through an exorcism. The guy is scum and is only interested in money.<br />He probably doesn't even know what a seal is as his head is stuck so far up his ass.<br />Also, I can't stand it when people get behind a cause and preach, all the while, they're complete hypocrites. Does Hilton wear leather? Does he eat steak? Does he eat chicken wings? I'm sure it's a 'yes' to all of the above. Look at him! <br />People like him get wrapped up in the whole 'cute animal' thing. Meaning, they don't give a crap about all the cows & chickens that are killed, daily. AND they are killed in a very inhumane way. For instance, some slaughter houses like to throw their chickens into scalding hot water to kill them--it's just easier that way. How do you think the chicken feels? Oh, yes! I forgot; chickens aren't as cute as seals or dolphins.<br /><br />As for PETA, I think they use people in the spotlight as much as possible to shed light on animal cruelty. I admire them. However, they sometimes come off as fame whores rather than animal activists. <br /><br />I don't like the seal hunting any more than most people. I think it's terrible. However, if people around the world are going to scream about the cruelty, they need to practice what they preach. <br />The only preachers out there should be vegans who spend their lives trying to live without eating or wearing ANY animal.The Uneasy Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787359467418593478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7462211970946499736.post-12049351743520297142009-10-21T23:10:17.421-03:002009-10-21T23:10:17.421-03:00Been there, done that, I even wore fur.

Sometimes I feel like buying a fur just to piss them off (and I don't even like fur!). I have no tolerance for extremists, even those representing "good causes".
