Just read this interesting line of posts- FWIW my family has been a member of PETA for a long time. Because we are for the ethical treatment of animals. I'm not for killing people to save animals, anymore than I am for killing people to save anything else. I'm not for the killing of anything, but if things ARE going to be killed let them be killed with a minimum of suffering and let there be a reason. The testing of cosmetics on animals has always bothered me- because it is vanity, And killing animals for fur when we have synthetics- that too is gruesome. I also don't like the idea of eating other creatures that have brains and lungs and hearts quite similar to my own- it bothers me. I've known a lot of animals, and I am quite sure none of them wanted to be killed in a slaughter house and eaten. I wouldn't want to spend my last few seconds being slaughtered for food, and I imagine animals don't want to either. Empathy and reason lead me to a desire to treat my fellow creatures the way I would wish to be treated in their place.
