Reportedly they have sometimes bypassed the democratic machinery in order
to accomplish their goals. In case that's true, I believe they shouldn't
have done that. As far as I know they haven't killed anybody. You may call
me gullible but I believe that PETA's animal reports (www.peta.org) are
true, including the duck report I quoted earlier. In opposition to PETA I
don't mind the act of killing animals for food and materials, even if the
act happens to be messy, because among other things, I feel lousy on grains
and crappy withou
t meat, and a genuine skin coat is more comfortable than a
fake one; but I share PETA's concern for how animals are treated otherwise,
how they are raised for instance. PETA has prevented and rescued many
miserable animal lives.

Is it prohibited to discuss the ethical and political aspects of paleofood
on this list? In case it is, I guess I won't do it again, but I can't
resist saying one more thing, namely, that after further reading and seeing
some pictures I think this foie gras thing sucks even more.
