Guest guest Posted June 1, 2003 Report Share Posted June 1, 2003 Rofl! I don't mind cats at all, I simply don't find them to be " pets " because they are anti-social and behave like vermin. I'd have cats on a farm, you bet. But never in a house. (whew) I'm envisioning, actually, the huge loss of birds, which are much more susceptible to our pesticides and pollutants. Rachel Carson, Silent Spring, all that. If birds and small animals go, cats have no food source. If they have evolved themselves into a bottleneck of " needing " meat, then they'll go extinct. Simple. I certainly avoid supporting the meat industry any and every time I can. Make me aware of an instance in which I'm inadvertently supporting them, and I will immediately choose to change things so I am not. How is this arch?

Leather shoes, omega fish oils, any eggs or egg products, and anything with dairy. Like it or not, lacto-ovo vegetarians do in a round about way support the meat industry. I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian, and I know this full well. Unless one is a pure vegan in every way, it is very difficult to not support the meat industry in some small way; even then you have to be extremely careful and things surely slip by unnoticed. > How is this arch? *lol* I was likely projecting.
