I grew up in the late 90s-early 2000s when it was considered a fashion sin to wear fur and their were a lot of PETA protests about fur. But in the recent years I've notice PETA doing more drastic stuff against people who wear fur and other animal skins. Funny how they never complained about leather or wool. But anyway, I grew up with the beleif it's wrong to wear fur but not neccessarily leather. I don't have any money really so I don't own any animal skinned clothes, except maybe leather boots (and those are probably fake). Anyway, I too love animals and I attempted a vegetarian diet about 3 years ago and only lasted a year on it. But after reading something about some guy who ate a corgi to protests the hunting rituals the royals do and also reading articles about PETA actually euthanizing cats and animals in private. I really, I'm starting to move to the other side, like supporting someone's right to hunt, fish, or wear fur. Which, I have to admit, I'm on the fence about that.

There is a lot of hypocrisy and it looks like you're figuring that out.

The VP of PETA has no problem about killing animals for testing her insulin: "I'm an insulin-dependent diabetic. Twice a day I take synthetically manufactured insulin that still contains some animal products -- and I have no qualms about it ... I'm not going to take the chance of killing myself by not taking insulin. I don't see myself as a hypocrite. I need my life to fight for the rights of animals."

I agree completely. Some of those people are just nuts. I was an animal science major and would get a lot of grief for it from Animal Rights groups on campus. They actually protested a meats lab we were required to take... As for the corgi-eating protest... what exacty are they accomplishing? How hypocritical! Throw in member from the Animal Liberation Front and you've got a whole lot of crazy. I support animal WELFARE, but frankly I don't feel animals have "rights" other than the right to not be abused by higher beings on the food chain.
