eat it....
this could be a rant. but its something that has been on my mind lately. some of these people who claim to be animal rights activist are just silly. its strictly my personal opinion only, that just by not eating meat, or not wearing leather, does not make you an activist. to me an activist isnt someone who just sits there watching the things they dont like happen. and i dont think activism has to consist of shoving your opinions and feelings down other peoples throats. its about bringing information and facts to their attention, in a way that grabs their attention but at the same time, actually makes them think about the information, and not the way it was presented. its about stating your case in a classy respectable manner. i think thats the best way to actually get people to listen.
i wouldnt go to lengths to say the town i live in is big city urban, its not. its a small town in the middle of alot of other small towns. but we do have our troubles. and there are kids here, that go to school, just to get the FREE LUNCH the school offers them. whether it be a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich or a hamburger. that over processed hamburger, which may have easily been a tortured cow is making it possible for some of the kids here to get through the day without starving to death. and unless your willing to make a considerable donation to the cafeteria at your neighborhood elementry school, so they can afford to feed kids soy burgers and what not, stop claiming something youre watching but not doing anything about.
p.s. i am a vegetarian
