Translation for the German-impaired among us, please?
Humans are omnivores; we're designed to eat meat as well as vegetables. Our nearest relatives among the primates will eat meat when the opportunity is offered. I don't have a problem with anyone's personal decision not to eat meat... unless they refuse to extend me the same courtesy. I wear and use leather products, which are a byproduct of the beef industry; I use bone beads in my jewelry, which are probably from the same source. I personally prefer fake fur, but I have no objection to ranched furs; wild fur I consider unethical because of the high likelihood of its being poached.
*g* Can you tell I've done a fair amount of thinking about this, and have reached an equilibrium with which I'm comfortable?
