Ok, I am sorry for bothering you all with this. But I am so sick of people telling me how to live my life according to their values. Here is my text of the email I sent to PETA today.

Do you fight for cow's rights and feelings? How about Chickens? Is your closet full of leather shoes? Is your freezer full of meat products? Do you wear makeup made of animal fats? Is your automobile interior the result of animal testing? Do you fertilize your lawn?

Some of us choose the cerebral cortex value of hunt/kill/eat. It's not like this is a hobby created just to see how much we can make an animal suffer. This is how we were taught, and we take great pride in every once in a while being able to put a meal on the table we took ourselves.

Perhaps you should focus your efforts on something else, like how to feed the neighborhood kids (emotionally) because their parents are both working????
