I can see her point, especially about the prop 8 thing, JMO. I does seem like animals get more attention than some human related causes. To be perfectly honest, I'm probably guilty about caring more about animal too. People in general can speak out and help themselves, even if a lot of them are content to just sit around and whine about their circumstances. (I'm talking about adults in America.) As for the fur thing, I personally don't wear fur or plan to in the future. However, I own leather jackets and leather shoes, so I would feel hypocritical for condemning those that wear fur.
I am no fan of PETA. They are a bunch of fanatics, that again IMO, do more to set back animal welfare. There are a lot of people who hear about anti-cruelty, anti-tethering laws, anti-puppymills, and just dismiss it as some crazy PETA cause. Even the reputable show breeders are leary of any anti-puppymill campaign/legislation b/c they are afraid PETA is behind it. |
