AS a vegirtarian and an animal lover, I do agree withtheir general premise, but to use sacralege in thero cause is morally wrong. We live however in a day and age when nothign is sacred, so mor is the pity.

You need to understand these people really aren't Christians they are secular humanists.

Ingrid Newkirk, founder of PETA, said, "The smallest form of life, even an ant or a clam, is equal to a human being" and "there really is no rational reason for saying a human being has special rights."

I wonder if she includes bacteria in her definition of "the smallest forms of life". I wonder if she believes in the mass annihilation of these small forms of life by the use of antibiotics when she has an infection. I wonder what she does when her kids come home from school with head lice. Does she support the right of these little creatures to live in peace on her childrens' scalps, or does she run to the pharmacy for a bottle of insecticide-laced shampoo to slaughter them? Roaches? Mice? I wonder where she draws the line.
