Yet more food for thought. I believe that even vegetarians get more disturbed at the thought that Fido and Fluffy are being disposed of in this manner; it appears to bring the horror closer to home.

Lyn McDonald is absolutely right, in that we must stop attaching our emotional outcry to the killing of so-called 'pets' and remember that the murder of even one cow or pig or chicken is too much. Thanks for the reminder.

Guess we'll just have to keep trying to make further and faster inroads towards the abolition of breeding every and any creature for our use. Wow - what a perfect world that could be.
