PETA has gone way beyond thier orignal purpose.
When PETA first formed they were helping to so curelty to animals locked up in science labs on college. At the time my route to some of my college clasees took me by a lab filled with howling dogs, used for ceintifice esperiments so I tought PETA was a good idea. However when they started going after farmers raising animals for the specific purpose of being killed and eaten, I thought they went too far. I grew up on a faram, even had pet lambs as a child, in fact they paid my way through college.
However lamb is one fo my favoirte meats to eat. I understand the differnce beween raising animals for food and having pets. Yes we need to cut red meat out of our diet for health purpses, but many grains vegans eat are grown with fertilizers. When I see PETA protestors outside a resturants protesting veal, I usally go in and order it.
A much better focus woudl be to start talking about popultions control as the growing population is tis biggst casue of global warming.
