Keith embodies true compassion.

@beganot Maybe I should have specified in my comment, but not all vegans and vegetarians do it for animal related reasons; some do it for diet and health reasons, political or even environmental reasons. Or, maybe you've just happen to have met only pseudo-vegetarians. Which, don't get me wrong, pseudo-vegetarianism is better than nothing at all.

All I know is that when I die, I lived my life with a knowledge that most people lacked. In many ways I was more enlightened than those who choose to live in the dark.

I kindda gave up hope in changing the minds of ignorant people. I admire al vegans because the act of not consuming anything animal helps lessen cruelty cases. Even if you don't believe in animal cruelty but still consume their products, there is always one idiot out there who will see a market, profit from it and not cater to the needs of the animal. The more demand, the more animals are seen as property w/o feelings. But anyways, I stopped trying to convince people.

@AryanDemon1488SS Wow...Okay. First of all, veganism is NOT UNHEALTHY. It depends on the individual. A vegan can healthy or unhealthy. Second of all, I admit that some animal rights organizations like the Animal Rights Militia might go to extremes, but your comment is proving how the world just doesn't listen. "Aggressive and cruel about their beliefs...." how about the suffering that animals go through.

[elisonsidney]

@ColonelMarksman You clearly don't know anything. Research (such as the ASIS survey - see Lyle Munro book "Compassionate Beasts") has shown that most of the people in these groups are vegans. Vegans have respect for all living beings including birds and insects, which is why they don't consume carmine and honey, for example. Veganism aside, vegetarians have just as much respect for all animal life. As a vegan and an activist, I find your comment very ignorant.

some ppl love animals better than humans.thats a shame.

[Pulsar205]

Animals were given to us for food, but we must kill them humanely and give them a good life before we do. This is common sense loving animal husbandry.

As for experimenting on them this makes me sick. We don't need to do this because natural remedies and potions work fine. I do not condone stopping it like this though. The end has to be through people boycotting products and drugs and not with destruction of property.

Some day it will be animal torturers who wind up behind bars, not animal rescuers...

[kimberlily1983]

@ColonelMarksman Your views reflect pre-Darwinian philosophy and theology. Real intellectuals and critical thinkers left people like you in the dust more than a hundred years ago. Some of us would prefer to base our ethics on facts, as opposed to faith.
