At least the women would have a choice about being milk factories. It highlights the fact that it's cruel to treat cows in this way. I don't really mind eating meat - I always try to make sure it is humanely reared and killed, at least as far as I can.

Milk I have an issue with.
I drink a fraction of what I used to because I have issues about whether it is ethical. Cheese is very tricky too (helps that it's high in fat) because I adore it but of course it's still dairy.

I don't make a song & dance about it and I don't tell other people they should share my views - and yes I think PETA are fruitloops - but having read what I've read I'd rather have a bacon sarnie than a pint of milk.

People have come and gone at PETA and some are more froot-loopy then others. I'm not happy with the ones who verbally and financially supported the more violent animal rights organizations like ALF...they did and do a disservice to PETA's cause. But I still support PETA. Mostly they do not participate in violent or destructive actions. Their undercover investigations have revealed a lot of unnecessary abuse that go on in factory farms and research laboratories.
