I'm a meat fanatic but I appreciate and respect those who are some sort of vegetarian. The one thing that does get me though is how fanatical groups such as PETA will go to the point of stupidity to get their point across that eating meat is not only bad but horrible. It really just hurts those who are vegans for example and gives the general population a poor image to work with when they thing Vegetarian.
I'll give an example though its not really pertaining to eating. A few years ago in the city there is a Mink farm. The mink are bred exclusively for the fur. I know a guy who's family owns the place and while they kill them they don't torture them or anything. In any event, some folks think that its cruel and decide to break in and let out hundreds of the mink. Since the mink are fed by hand they all die in the wild within days as they have no idea how to survive in the wild. The act of releasing those mink did nothing. All that happened was the mink died and my friends family went into a financial hardship of sorts, which did not make me happy. The only reason I'm saying this is I just don't like fanatical people who protest outside places that happen to sell burgers or whatnot.
