First of all, Bart, I do not believe that you represent any idea, concept, or attitude of the left/liberal/progressive movement. I'm guessing that you are a Glenn Beck watching, Rush Lumbaugh listening, Neo-Con. That is why you are pushing "reason and cool logic," which in your 'evolutionary evolutionist' (?) mind, means complacency, compliance, and control. In a nutshell, you do not want anything happening that could impact the bottom line of the corporate world.

Yes, P.E.T.A. is my ilk. Yes, vegans are my ilk. And yes, our country (U.S.A.) is sacrificing its hard earned freedoms and constitutional protections, in order to best serve your corporate profits.

Do the crime; do the time. Sure. But make that EQUAL time. That is, trespass is trespass. Vandalism is vandalism. Trespass and vandalism are not terrorism, even if they impact your profits or stock price.

Animal testing does not work, and is not needed. Torturing animals is wrong. Some people feel very strongly about this. And yes, I am one of their 'ilk' too.

It is so very sad to see the destruction and killing of so many birds and animals that are so connected with the total eco-system of this planet. They are losing their breeding and hunting grounds. And for people who care about protecting animal life to be considered terrorists, please tell me who are they murdering? Throwing stink bombs on a Japanese whaler, who was illegaly in waters off Australia, does constitute terrorism in my eyes. Please tell me why the FBI or any other government agency can really believe that we who try to protect nature are terrorists? For 60 years, I have lived on this planet and it makes me sick, sad, angry and frustrated to see the torment, abuse, neglect, pollution and killing of people and animals alike. I would give my eye teeth to be on the Sea Shepherd fighting along with the crew to defend the whales. If we cared more about the planet and global warming and enough, already about wars and killing, maybe this planet will still be here for my grandchildren and yours.

I feel it is unfair to generalize vegans as you have. I have a good understanding of humans evolutionary past however my personal point of view as a vegan living in North America is that I have the opportunity to live a healthy life without causing another being harm (human or otherwise). I have a deep respect for all forms of life and simply feel no need to sacrifice another life for my own, why would I when I have the option not to, simple as that. For the record though humans are omnivorous. Also I would like to make a correction to your post, we need to consume 8 amino acids our body cannot produce while most foods contain these amino acids few contain them in the proper quantities to constitute a “complete protein”. While egg whites and soy protein isolate are the highest rated complete proteins you should know that meat is rated with hemp, soybean, buckwheat, spirulina, and quinoa among some others. Also I can strongly relate to the way you feel about radicals tainting your political position, I feel the same when people associate veganism to supporting P.E.T.A.. Please do not avert the fist to my eye to save your own face.

Mallory,
Hurting people, whether physically, emotional, or financially, is not wrong in any case. What an offensive, ignorant thing to say. Humans hurt non-humans and the environment in every way possible every day. Why should we have the luxury of being protected?

The solution would appear to be simple: Stop commiting crimes in the pursuit of the 'green' movement. If you are destroying property, threatening people, commiting arson, grave-robbing, theft, and assault, then you deserve to go to prison. If you use the threat, or the fear, of having such crimes commited to further your cause, then you are using terror tactics, and are therefore a terrorist.

I'm pro-green, and pro-animal rights, but I strongly disagree with the criminal tactics used by the green extremists. Hurting people – whether physically, emotionally, or financially – is wrong. No matter how important your cause is to you, the ends do not justify the means.
