I don't see them in the same light at all because, like most of your arguments, it is the glowing light of a red herring.
I am having steak for supper though.

PETA believes that animals deserve the most basic rights—consideration of their own best interests regardless of whether they are useful to humans. Like you, they are capable of suffering and have interests in leading their own lives; therefore, they are not ours to use—for food, clothing, entertainment, or experimentation, or for any other reason.
Ever notice that "free" pets end up costing the most?
so far PETA hasn't tried to force the issue with eating meat. However, they certainly want to outlaw animal circuses, the annual seal hunt, the use of fur for clothing, etc.

I know your position with regards to the abortion question. It just seemed that you didn't understand the pro-life position that ALL life is to be treated with respect and dignity.
ALL LIFE...That is a most interesting statement. This would mean that all prolifers would have to be breatharians or dirt eaters. They couldn't be Vegan because that involve destroying plant life. :twisted:
I understand the "prolife" position fine. As I said before this issue is about choice. That is what the "prolifers" fail to realize. That's what you and prolifers fail to see. It is why when we punish people we take away their freedom and their right to choose.
