136. for those of you who don't believe the dumpster dumping of animals, you are kidding yourselves. We saw it first hand the hypocrisy of Peta. They wouldn't do it near their headquarters so they went across the state lines. It was a while for we figured out where they were even coming from and how they were dying. PETA is the height of hypocrisy.
There are many ways to support animals, PETA has their own agenda and it is more about control and money.

139. I think that her posing nude in a cage is not only relevant but its the truth. She has a lot of courage to put herself out there, the human body is beautfil and there is nothing offensive about a body. There is something very wrong in our culture if the sight of breasts offends us but we have no problems caging animals pumping them full of hormones, feeding them grains and their own dead and then killing them and gorging ourselves on the dead flesh.
PETA may not be the best orginization in the world however they have a message that is true. Their finances are unknown to me, I do not dontate to the group. I support animals buy not buying or consuming any animal prouducts. I do not proclaim I am perfect or better than persons who do not agree with me. I ate meat for many years myself, I knew in my heart it wasnt right either, I just would make jokes and put down those who did not it was my way of justifying it, and making myself feel better.
I however do what I know is right in my heart. I try to cause the least amount of suffering, and not eating animals or supporting the "livestock" / fur industry is a big part of this.
I think most people know that animals live a very unatural and tourturous life for human desire.
Imagine how the animals feel right before they die.
How scared they must be the adrenaline pumping through their body..... people are consuming this hormone, they are eating death. That is not good for the sprit.
We do not need to eat me to live, we choose to kill animals for our own wants and pleasure.
Most people know this inside and choose to ignore it and respond with anger, denial, or insults to persons who are willing to admit the truth regardless if they are in fact Vegetarians/Vegans.

as far as the point made about fruits and veggies being expensive buy in season, buy beans, potatos, lentils, quinoa, make homemade soups...hummus ....there is so much out there to eat. So much color in fruits and veggies!
Meat is cheap, artifically cheap as we pump animals with growth hormones and grains to fatten them up beyond normal standards ......just as we are becoming...

Seriously just think about how much grain we use to fatten "livestock" If we used this grain for humans we would not have world hunger.

I think that going vegetarian is a big step in improving ones life as well as life in this world.

I know some people here will repsond to this and just say I am crazy, that is ok. I have never felt like I am living my truth more than I do right now. I am secure with my choice, are you with yours?
