I would assert that if you wish any success in encouraging people to change their views on the way animals are treated in this country that the onus is upon you to substantiate your claims. If the rest of us think that things are basically OK, what reason do we have to explore them? I can not investigate the background of every product I use. I suspect some are produced unethically, and a few are produced with extreme care, and most are basically OK, perhaps an ethical slip here or there, perhaps the impacts not fully researched. It's also interesting to me that PETA promotes use of synthetic materials over natural (I did dig around a bit and was reading through some of the ingredients in products which come from animals, and their alternatives - I forget exactly where it was). In many ways, I'm more concerned about the effects of using synthetic, especially petroleum based, materials than totally eliminating use of animal products. One also wonders how many animals were used in research to prove these synthetics safe. -- Frank Filz ----------------------------- Work: mailto:ffilz@us.ibm.com (business only please) Home: mailto:ffilz@mindspring.com

(...) For the love of heaven, must we start a new thread as to define what a fact is? How about diatribe? Were there not enough facts given at these sites? The answers to your questions are often not right in front of you. Seek well and learn well. (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jul-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
