I am none of those things.
I'm not an activist but I do believe in animal rights, and defend them when I'm able. I also donate to the RSPCA (which is like our version of the humane society here), of course I COULD do more, but my finances and time availablility don't allow for it.
Needless to say, I do more than the majority.
I am not vegetarian, but I do believe that if an animal is to be killed, it should be for food, warmth, or in self defence - Not for entertainment, ever.
Yes, I consume animal products...yet before you call me a hypocrite, as seems to be the path you're going down here, I have simply come to the logical realisation that if I myself were to stop buying meat, no animal would be spared.
So, unless you can line up no less than about 100,000 people in every state of the country in which I reside, the amount it would take to make but a small dent in the ongoing market slaughter of the animals here, I'd consider changing my dietary habits a waste of time, as would ceasing to purchase it serve only as a limit on my intended career.
