I particularly like the mention of mono-culture farming with regards to rain forest bio diversity (although latex can also come from other sources)<BR/><BR/>When your only experiance with animals is with pets, your perspective on nature is skewed. More kids ought to spend summers on farms, or even just camping to get an appreciation for the natural world, and the nature which occurs in said world.Lasgunpackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13529298072677726064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3611751974697842108.post-91140706703332316222008-07-26T22:13:00.000-07:002008-07-26T22:13:00.000-07:00Thanks for your comments, guys.

That is probably the most processed, least natural habitat ever created on earth, so I understand it when they can't relate to animals, though they've seen and heard about them.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05409883521642115031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3611751974697842108.post-91130313097589038742008-07-24T21:53:00.000-07:002008-07-24T21:53:00.000-07:00I basically agree with your assessment, but I doub...I basically agree with your assessment, but I doubt PETA would be moved by your thesis. But, then again, fringe groups are rarely persuaded by silly things like logic and evidence.Bob Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156306755657261299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3611751974697842108.post-88004658392187717012008-07-22T23:38:00.000-07:002008-07-22T23:38:00.000-07:00We've spoken about this topic a couple of times, a...We've spoken about this topic a couple of times, and each time we do I feel a good deal better about being a meat eater. I think there are few things as natural in this world as taking a life for for the sustenance of another. How can people try to refute this? The PETA people do bring up a good point about the mistreatment of farm animals, although I think its laughable that they think that their alternative lifestyle has no negative impact on animals.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11692728848300712112noreply@blogger.com
