Why don't you push your logic to its conclusion?

Stop eating/using animal products!

I believe they do this because the cow doesn't produce the milk quick enough.. so anything to get more milk in a short time they will do. And yes, cows have an extremely large bond with their calves as do horses...

thats sad. We've come such a long way - from nurturing our surroundings so they take care of us to raping them. I dont know if we can change anything. With the industrialization the demand grows bigger, people want faster service and this is the result. I wish the old fashioned farmers as individuals would come back, not these highly organized industries.....but then, all our commodities can clash too....you dont know which way to go

lol...that shows I am into leather

I ment more of the mink kind of fur coats and jackets or whatever. I dont think anyone eats them.

Btw, I hate how they treat the cows to get milk. From what I've seen, they impregnate them every so often so they keep on having milk (and I thought cows have milk regardless???? seriously confused here) and then they remove the calf from her. Apparently, the cow and her calf have a very strong bond.......how true is this?

Yeah animals killed just for their pelts is really fucked! I would never wear furrrrrrrrrrrr or any other animal pelt!

The way they milk cows is horrible. My friend used to work on a dairy farm and he was sickened by it.
And 'wWhy are we the ONLY mammal that still drinks milk after we're weened? And too boot another animals milk?!

Oh I know. I am not a crazy tree hugging activist like some people on here are saying. They make a judgment by one statement I make. lol. It's the first time I've done anything like this. If it's sane for the most part, I will do it.

Just because you're sensitive doesn't mean I'm nasty...sorry, Princess. And I didn't say you were a tree-hugging activist, I said save your tree-hugging rhetoric for people who give a shit about ducks...or geese...whatever. I applaud your conviction, but I think it's misdirected. Good for you, though. Good luck with your goose saving. Meanwhile, I'll continue to risk my own life, almost daily, to save another humans. Oh, and Blueta2...shark-infested waters are part of my job, and I'm holding my own...thanks.

There are endless possibilities, I think. It's just a matter of finding them and I believe, we slowly are. Many things have gotten better in the whole "animal rights," department.. its just still a long way from adequate.

Hopefully we will find a way. I know they just banned horseslaughter here.

Every year 15 million children die of hunger

this is one of the reasons animal rights is meaningless...

it's a part of society, the real issues of the world.. death to humans because we in the USA can grow more food than we can possible consume, our gov even pays farmers to not plant crops.. and every year..


15 million children die from hunger..

vs..

Birds being overfeed as a food source.. hmmm...

I wonder how some of these folks contribute to make the world a better place????!

Oh, I don't know...the fact that I risk my life to save others is pretty noble, I think...

So you choose to fight for them and I will continue with my efforts. Don't put another persons will to fight for what THEY believe in.. go feed those children... I (as well as my family) try to help many causes. I choose animal rights for this specific event. And people will say that ok, 15 million children are starving but millions more are dying from aids.. so fight for them and not the kids.. I mean come on.. where would it end?

And as for your society comment, many would say that children starving is part of THEIR (where the kids are at and adults) society... and nature in general - way to control things... yeah- sad huh. The difference is that people are not intentionally inflicting this upon them.

I'm glad you are passionate about something.. anything.. don't let me or anyone else try to sway you...

Pick something.. believe in something.. do something.. don't become callous to those that are not able to help themselves..

Thanks for caring enough to give of yourself..
