[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 2391"] I'm sorry, Ann, I don't understand. PETA is very against breeding animals for human use and that includes pet stores. As far as they are concerned, dogs and cats are unnatural animals and should not be reproducing. I can't understand why any pet store would support them? Can you give us some details, please? Several states, including mine, have made it a felony for any one or group to interfere with the production of animals for human consumption. Several states, including mine, have passed laws protecting the right to hunt. The beef checkoff in my state (don't know if it's just my state or national) is asking for volunters and training them to deal with the media in animal related situations, PETA, BSE, whatever. This is not being ignored. But it is scary and sad to read some of the vegan boards ([url=http://www.vegsource.com]http://www.vegsource.com[/url]) and see how ignorant many people are about farming/ranching and animals. > And that's why I posted it here -- > there is NO way that these PETA > crazies should be determining how > a farmer raises/treats his > animals.
