Well then, you can get all righteous as you wish. BTW, I was raised on a ranch and farm, so I've forgotten more about the cattlemen and beef industries than you ever knew. The stupid way we treat animals has been something I've yelled about for years. It didn't take a movie or a PETA billboard to clue me in. But I'm also a realist. I'm a carnivore same as you. I wish they'd change the system or come up with a realistic alternative. They don't and they haven't and I'm eating. Got leather in my shoe, in my wallet, in my seat, in my car-seat, in my belt, in my briefcase. All those things you don't use or eat, and I'm glad you've found your fight. Mine lies elsewhere. Until things change, I'm keeping a sense of humor and lightening things up. Education thru humor.
But.....
How's that fish? I could start a thread on commercial fishing and IT'S EVILS.
How's those veggies? Ever heard of CCD and it's affect on bees? Defoliants and pesticides and fertilizers and slave labor.
Got any diamonds?
How's your gas mileage?
