From: "Bob W"
I'm really surprised at the way some people have reacted to the picture that
Frank posted. A couple of well-meaning people demonstrating against the fur
trade. No evidence that they were wearing leather, or members of PETA, or
even vegetarians, yet the picture seems to have stimulated a lot of vitriol
in some people.
I wasn't reacting to the photo. I'm OK with the photo.
I'm even OK with the photo if the two ladies were wearing leather boots.
I agree with Frank's point about wearing his existing leather shoes
after becoming vegan. Nothing that can be done for the cow at that point.
OTOH -
The thread drifted off into a discussion of the organization PETA, and I
think the obvious hypocrisy they've shown in their actions both before
and after the court case referenced is a valid point for criticism.
Quite simply, their actions are unethical and inexcusable by any standard.
All Animals are created equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
