PETA....
I've never really thought of myself as an animal activist, but recently I've been looking into a group called PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). I've watched some of the videos that they have on their web site, and I was appalled, disgusted, and just plain repulsed at the things I saw. I was aware of animal cruelty, but actually seeing it happen really helped to open my eyes.
In watching these films, I have decided that I won't wear fur of any kind, and I am going to try my best to check the labels on products, and I refuse to use products tested on animals.
You can make your own conclusions about the group, and on how animals are treated. The only thing I ask, is take a 5-10 minutes to check out some of these videos. I'm sure that you, as I was, will be shocked at the way the animals are treated.
Here are three different sites to where you can watch any of these videos...

Oh, and I'd also like to apologize for a previous entry....it was awhile ago...last April. I didn't know any better and made fun of KFC protesters. So, to them, I apologize.

Hey, I'm glad to see that you are taking part in a cause. Are you going to become vegan?
Hey.....don't you work at burgerville?
Quitting this month....I'm hopefully going to start at PETCO. And, no, I won't become vegan, but I am going to do my part by not buying products tested on animals, no fur, and no KFC....that's what I'm taking on so far....maybe more later
ah.. well that makes more sense. PETCO is the PERFECT job for you. I could see you running one of those places someday. :) I'm happy for you!
