Just wanted you to know what a great job you are doing on this thread.
Also you've saved me the trouble of saying some things I know wouldn't go down well.
There are few things that annoy me more than westerners complaining about this kind of thing when they are nearly all complicit in incredible,INCREDIBLE cruelty to animals just so they can eat foods they don't need to eat, ie for pleasure,not to mention wearing leather or sitting on leather sofas.
Then again the people on this thread are mostly teenage girls I expect and thus its more understandable.
No doubt that last sentence will be seen as patronising.It wasn't meant to be.When I was 11 I was immensely saddened to see,on a TV programme about the wild, a bear being shot and its cub being left by its mothers body.I cried myself to sleep that night I'm not ashamed to say.
Then over a period of many years I came to realise - through newspaper articles and eventually books- just how disgustingly cruel the food industry is.
The fact is that elephant almost certainly had a better life than 99% of the mammals on this planet.
And that's down purely to the utter selfishness and hypocrisy of people.
Anyone who is a vegan has my utmost respect.
Far more respect than I have for anyone else on this forum indeed.
