I never said I support PETA, but can understand their
fanaticism. I don't spray paint fur coats, but I do feel very
sorry for those who wear them.

i have a fur coat around here somewhere... it belonged to my
mother, who was given it in the 30s when she went away to NYC to
school. it's mouton, a type of meat sheep. i have no guilt about
wearing that coat
and i'd be really angry if some twit dumped blood on it (because
that coat is older than most PETA members mothers).
so, you may pity me for wearing fur, but don't even think of
damaging my coat

I thought I made it clear I wouldn't do that. Nor would I throw out
my Thomasville leather couches which were 5,000 each. I wasn't a
vegan when I bought them, and I am not vegan now, but working toward
that aim.

I'm a vegetarian because I'm a Buddhist practitioner and don't
believe in killing, not because PETA manipulates me.

you kill plants. aren't they living things as well?
is it not a good thing to consciously accept ones nature & to be
grateful that any life form, animal, fish or plant, allows one to
live?

Plants are not sentient beings, so this is a ridiculous question.

If you are a livestock management professional, you also have an
agenda. Right?

of course. my agenda is to see that animals (& plants) have as
good a life as possible before they fulfil their destiny.
unfortunately, groups of fanatical, but clueless, people like PETA
make that very difficult by manipulating people's emotions rather
than their intellects.

You see to it that plants have a good life? That's fanatical. I
cited information you requested. What of it? Nothing, right?

Any chance you can rewrite your last post without the pronoun I.
