Well, the thing is, that these people just don't think. If tomorrow, every
American became a vegetarian, just what would happen to all these uneaten
animals? Would they be turned out to starve? Or "killed humanely" and thrown
in a pile to rot?No doubtr, they'd expect the farmers raising them to care
for them for the rest of their natural lives- and try to legislate it.
Trouble being, that the farmers woulkd quickly starve to death, including
the big corperations.

I'd be willing to make a member of PETA a bet- I'd be willing to give up
animal flesh in any form, as long as they provided a comfortable and safe
home for the animals I would otherwise have eaten- not put them out on a
farm somewhere, but to care for them, themselves, for the rest of their
natural lives.

I'm willing to bet the PETA member would give up before I did ;-)

Lessee- they'd obviously need to start with a cow, a pig, and a lamb, a few
chickens, rabbits, and lets not forget a salt water tank for all the
lobsters, clams, oysters, scallops, and various other seafood I consume. I
also dearly love duck and goose....

Be interesting watching them fit all those critters into their apartment-
and they'd have to add a lamb per year, a pig every two years, and a cow
every 5 years (roughly). Not to mention the other critters....

Just wonder how long their commitment would last?

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.
