Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tae: I've actually seen some soy-milk ice cream down here, but then again, this is a state where ice cream is needed almost year round to keep people from passing out from the heat... that and TONS and TONS of water ^^

I can't wait until I get my mother's shawl... I absolutely love it, and I can mess with PETA minds with it... it's Faux Fur, but damn it looks real ^^

PETA...scares me stare

This came up in conversation last night when I was talking with my friend over Yahoo. And the very first thing I typed back was, ">.< Ew...WHY?! D="

I mean, I agree that killing animals and treating them horribly for non-essentials is just wrong. I like animals. And by non-essentials I mean fur coats and testing cosmetics and such on them (I'm more iffy on leather...Cuz thats horrible and all but uh...*stares at car's leather seats and genuine leather wallets* Ahem...yeah stare ). But I like meat. And meat is good for you, dammit >.< And really I don't mind testing on animals for like...medical purposes. As long as it's to better human life (Cosmetics don't better humanity in any way shape or form! scream ), then I see no problem with it (cuz really, who else are we going to test them on? Humans? That's just...wrong >.<)

Now back to the actual topic at hand: I just...can't see why they see a need to abolish using cow milk >.< I can understand the whole 'horrid practices' excuse, but that just means that we have to change how the industry treats the cows, which is probably easier than trying to get large companies to stop using cows altogether >.< That and...just...yield issues and all gonk It'd be impossible to properly and completely switch out cow milk for human milk...From a business point of view that is...

This whole thing is wacked. I'm all for animal rights and everything, but this is just insane. So by their logic, it's better to treat a human woman like a mass production milk factory, but not a cow? Would they pay the women, or would it be like, 'lactate for us for free!!!' Wouldn't it be more expensive to produce and buy if you take that into consideration?

Also, think about the fact that people have been getting milk from animals like goats and cows for thousands of years without any problems. Suddenly we're going to change it to breast milk just because some wackos think its better for humans to produce their own milk than make the cows do it?

How about they go about making the milking process more humane and comfortable for the cows than going off the deep end and switching to human milk? Gee, now that makes so much more sense!

I think PETA has lost something.... their collective mind

I mean, I wonder what the ad in the newspaper would look like? x3

So it's okay to do to people but not animals?

And why is eating other animals wrong but it's okay for lions to eat zebras and for eagles to eat fish and so on?
