I'm glad you can see that Shanley. A lot of young Americans buy into it. Do I condone how those animals were treated before their deaths? Absolutely not, and there are changes that need to take place in the meat industry, but Peta's tactics take it a step too far in the other direction for me.

I didn't mean to start this debate here. I thought long and hard about just what to say about Peta, if anything at all, but their beliefs are clearly affecting many in this country and I can only hope that people stop and think for themselves rather than follow blindly.

those PETA people go overboard! they have some good ideas, making sure animals are cared for, but for the most part, I don't care for them!!!! My stepdad cracked a joke a while back, said he belonged to PETA, People Eating Tasty Animals....

That's funny, Don!
PETA is like any other organization gone too far. They start out with good beliefs, and get all fanatical and end up doing more harm than good. It's like the anti-abortionists who bomb the clinics or shoot the staff members working in them..............they just get so twisted in their belief that they totally lose judgement and any sense of right and wrong, and basically all that's left is hypocrisy. Sad really, when you think that someone most likely began these things with their heart in the right place.

No your not a bad person.

and PETA has personnel with leather chairs, how humane is that?

Pesonally, I view leather as a by product of the beef industry...
