I agree with acceptance on this list

[Guest guest]

Hi Mary and all,

 

I agree with what you said here, Mary. People on this list appear to be

generally accepting

of one another's individual efforts to be kind to animals.

 

With only a tiny, small fraction of the population in American abstaining from

eating meat,

I find it counterproductive that those of us who don't eat animals would argue

with one

another (such as what you mentioned with the " lacto-ovo " vs. vegan debates).

 

Where I live in a conservative Midwestern state where fields are covered with

cows being

fattened for the slaughter house, people who learn that I am vegetarian think I

am an

oddball eccentric and some are even outright hostile. Perhaps some of the rest

of the folks

here have had to deal with that. We should be supporting and encouraging one

another, I

believe.
