That's untrue. If an animal dies of natural causes and its meat (an animal product) is used, this is not excessively cruel. I am shocked and disappointed that you would make such a huge generalization. I saw a documentary about a fanatical chicken lover on BBC 4 who kept lots of chickens as pets and ate them/used their feathers when they died. There are many examples of situations where animal products can be obtained without involving excessive cruelty. > _______________________________________________ > public mailing list > public-Hb7ITwsGSD4lroQnaJEqWdi2O/[email protected] > http://lists.blitzed.org/listinfo/public >
