and if i'm at some sort of fair and there are other animal rights groups there -- i will drop them some dough too.

there is such a problem with claiming that animals ''torture'' each other -- animals would have to have minds that exist in ''future space'' in order for that to happen.
and i think there is little evidence that many animals can sense what the future is -- i.e. when the cat catches the mouse -- the cat didn't intend to torture the mouse from the outset.
the cat is momentarily caught up in the actions of the about to be deceased mouse. you cannot anthropomormise the intention of the cat.
the cat has it's own reasons for it's behavior.

and we had our own reasons for making the atom bomb and using it.

i'm for anything that makes humans a more thoughtful, more benign, more gentle being living on this planet.
in that peta and i are glad partners -- and i am less than perfect as an individual.
i am somewhat redeemed by -- i hope -- by actions i take with others -- that make me a better person and contributes to making us all live more gently.
