I wasnt sure where to put this as it isn't primarily vegetarian specific, however I also dont think it should get into an argument, but put it here incase.
Basically I was wondering if anyone could come up with FAQ's when it comes to animal rights and why someone such as myself and many of you think the way we do, as I want to do a blog on various sites I'm on, such as MySpace & Bebo (which I use to educate people on animal rights subjects).
I'm oftern getting asked questions like "yes but I spose you use medicane, arent you being a hypocrite" or "where do you get you're protein from being a vege". I have rigurously studied, researched and looked at most if not all animal rights subjects from you're domestic abuse (neglect), to bullfighting or the wool industry in Australia since I was about ten. So I want to educate others on the subjects.
So, any questions anyone could think of to go into my FAQ I would be greatful - I wont answer them on here but I will paste my blog when it's complete. I'm not a vegan by the way, as I do eat things like cheesy pizzas, but I barely, if ever infact, eat cheese alone, eggs or milk as I am against that industry too. I am against anything that includes animal cruelty.
Questions, Myths anything...just post it. If I can't answer it I just won't include it.
My ideas so far:
*Even if you're a vegetarian you won't save anymore animals they will be eaten by someone else
*Choose between a human and an animal (animal testing) - ALWAYS ASKED THIS
*What alternatives are there to animal testing
*You must take medicane, so surely you're a hypocrite
*You animal activists would be the last to offer yourself as a human subject
*PETA kills animals
*Where do you get you're protein/vits/minerals from?
*What about fake fur?
*Leather comes from meat, if I eat meat I can use leather
*All the cosmetics that are not tested on animals are expensive/give me a reaction
*Malteasers/Mars/Meat/whatever etc are too tasty to give up (this makes me annoyed
)
*Dairy doesnt harm anything, it doesnt include any deaths.
*Fox hunting is a tradition/sport/good way to keep populations down
*Fur is the warmest things ever
*In the UK/USA they use good methods that result in quick deaths - meat industry
*What about the plants you eat, you're hurting them too
Anymore?
PS) I would also like to link pages for more information on subjects I can't cover fully in a single blog. So any really good links would be great, thanks everyone
