I'll need some of that Kevlar, Mike.
This PETA thing reminds me of something...when I was previously engaged to a woman in Chicago, I would go up and visit her regularly. While I was up there, we would do a lot of driving. Mimi and I would then proceed to count something that seemed to stick out on that particular weekend. For example, we would see a lot of check cashing places, and proceed to count them from Friday-Sunday. One weekend, we noticed a TON of people wearing fur coats (Whether they were fake or real I couldn't tell ya.). The number we noticed got rather high. Granted, it was an awfully cold weekend--in the teens with that trademark wind.
PETA has a right to protest all they like, but I suspect they may be delusional at times.
I eat meat because I enjoy the taste, and it contains many vitamins and nutrients that are good for my body. I drink milk and eat dairy products for the same reason. I have no religious provisions preventing me from eating these products. (What would I do without pork roll? PORK ROLL?! I'd lose my mind!) Furthermore, with the whole "They suffer" mentality, I figure it to be survival of the fittest. Who knows? Maybe there will be a being that wants to eat us someday. Not to mention, if all the products of the animal are used to their capacity, then I have no real problem with it.
