I pretty much agree with you on many points alexandra. One area I find horrible is animal testing for stupid things like cosmetics. But, if we "hunted" animals (insetead of slaughtering them) the way Native Aboriginals did, I believe it would be a morally correct thing to do. Native wore fur because they *had* nothing else, but humans wear fur out of vanity.
As far as an organization like PETA goes, as I said, I agree with many of their views, but I am also a humanist, and put my applause behind someone like Bono who is trying to help AIDS victims in Africa, and rid the Third World Debt, supporting organizations like Amnesty International. Someone like Paul McCartney(sp?) kind of embarasses me when his biggest beef (no pun intended) and energy are directed towards Kentuky Fried Chicken. Just IMHO....
