Guest guest Posted September 9, 2002 Report Share Posted September 9, 2002 Yes, but the Humane Society is involved with people from all walks of life, it has to be in order to function. If they only fed veggie fare, farmers and others who do eat meat might not come and might not support. And, most of the people in the animal rescue group that I volunteer with do eat meat. It is not mutually exclusive. Though, I do see the hypocracy/irony in the event. However, it is not like everyone can be instantly " converted " - it is a big leap for many people to even admit that ANY animal has any rights... dogs and cats first and then maybe, slowly, eventually, more people will learn of how food animals are produced. Regardless, humans are evolved to eat meat - at least a bit of it... it is only the luxury of our abundant society that allows us to choose the source of protien to consume. Many of my old neighbors were merely happy to have ANY protien at all... not like they were going to argue about where it came from. The humane society is good in general, I am happy they exist at all. Genie I would rather regret that which I have experienced than wish I had experienced that which is past.
