yep, ok- let the onslaught begin!
I DONT SUPPORT ALL THE POLICIES, i DO EAT MEAT. i DO BELIEVE IN TESTING DRUGS (BUT NOT COSMETICS) ON ANIMALS; I AM A NURSE AFTER ALL AND BELIEVE IN STEM CELL RESEARCH ETC. BUT DO THINK IT SHOULD BE DONE WITH HUMANITY AND WHERE POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVES LOOKED INTO-IE- THE ASSISI TESTS ETC. Sorry i mentioned it, lets not go the religious fanatical tree hugging route :o

Why would you be a member of PETA if you eat meat?

Not giving you shit or anything it just strikes me as weird.

Because i believe in other parts of their philosopy! ie-against fur and unnecessary use of animals. Also their campaigns against whaling and ultimately the idea that animals should be treated ethically when used for research. I am not some radical. I think I am more of a realist. But i do believe in the use of animals if it will ever help us to find a cure for the human death which is Alzheimer's disease (worked as an elderly nurse for 12 years and it used to break my heart to nurse people who served for our freedom in WWII and also one gentleman from WWI.
To see a B52 pilot who can no longer remember his wife of 50 yrs' name! Or fee himself.
This is why i am not a radical, but think we could be kinder to our fellow creatues if we are going to use them.
