I’m not against vegetarianism, but I do think that at times they may take things to the extreme. Holding up signs is okay, but when you verbally harass someone for their choice, then it’s crossing the line. Eating meat is a personally choice that others shouldn’t interfere in; it’s another person’s body, not the activists, so the people for meat have the will to do as they please with it. Another activist movement that I protest is freeing the turkeys. They could have rallied their own turkeys or make it harder for the farmer to catch new ones rather than grab the ones already caught. They are not only harming the turkeys, since they have to find a way to push them out, they are making the life of the farmer harder to live. Everyone has to make a living, and who’s to say the farmer mistreated the turkeys. People need to find a means of food somehow. I don’t agree with animal violence, but I also don’t agree with harming a person’s source of income. In the end the animals were slaughtered by cars, they are going to die one way or another. Just like abortion and all the other non-stop pro/con arguments, this is a never ending disagreement because it all has to do with human choice. If you can’t change a Jets fan to like the Giants, what makes it possible for people to change from steak to tofu??
