This goes into a whole nother disscussion that I am sure would get us nowhere but in short I believe that animals or by products should not be used for human consumption. I don't need it and I am happier and healthier w/o it.

Yep, traditional genetic engineering that has been practiced before the days of DNA. Selective breeding over 50 years has brought the meat industry the cornish cross.

So no eggs for you then?

OK I will write my own

w/ my sustainablibility club maybe they should try and reach a magazine or newspaper that gets read by people who are mildly intrested in world events.

P.S I believe we evolved to eat meat and I know everyone is going to go APE **** over me just saying that.

No leather for shoes, saddles, bridles? Or dog and cat food?

I do my best but somethings are unavoidable (ie. horses and leather, tires on cars, ect). Dogs are able to be healthy on a vegan diets most cat's can't.

I'm not perfect and I know meat will always exist in the world. Even if I can't change something doesn't mean I should just give up and support it.

Corey...I was making the point that even tho you say you're against human consumption of animal products or by-products, a lot of things fall into those catagories. Including your saddles! Human consumption is not just eating meat.

I am sure you are not like most but why can't it be ok for those who do choose to eat meat and leave well enough alone. It bothers me none that vegans and vegertarians don't and that is their way of life. That is why I couldn't sign. If it only had to do with the treatment of the animals I would have thought harder about it.

Like I said I understand that and if I could afford it I would buy a synthetic saddle. I try hard but I am not perfect.
