There seems to be a disconnect here

I have always loved animals, and at 12 I signed the Cleveland Amory No Fur Pledge (which I have still abided by all these years.) Later, this drove me to vegetarianism, but not only did it make me fat and sick, I did some research and found out that every book in the world is stuck together with glue. From animal sources.
In fact, it's not possible to be "ethical" by avoiding the cycle of life. Those veggies the vegans embrace can only live with animal products in the soil.
It's a belief system. No less, but no more. |
