Hugo Boss to Phase Out Australian Wool!

For fear that my comment may be regarded as inflammatory I felt it necessary to show my hand. I have a high regard for PETA though I am not a member or a vegetarian. My regard stems from the fact that people at this organization are commited to something beyond themselves. I furthermore think that the underlying tension which drives an organization such as this is "the problem of pain" and here we have people who genuinely are trying to do something about that. I however differ with regard to the approach or the expected outcome. The way I see PETA dealing with this "problem of pain" is to try to get as many people as possible and eventually everybody to become vegans. The hope is that we can stop the suffering by not eating animal products. I agree that we will stop some suffering but it still doesnt answer the question to satisfaction. For suffering does not start and finish at the slaughter house. If you live you will die. And some will die in great anguish regardless of whether they ended up in an abattoir. I think there is value in trying to make things better but we first need to know what is wrong. What is wrong is not a question of diet its the condition of our souls. Inside we are not gentle spirits we are avaricious beasts and though we remove our craving for meat if we turn the page we will find many more deadly vices "a zoo of lusts a bedlam of ambitions a nursery of fears a hareem of fondled hatreds. My name was legion." There is no doubt that this is a broken world. A father in a nearby town recently killed his 3 kids with a knife. How does this make sense? It doesnt. And we cant reverse this great wheel by sheer dogged determination. We are like a bee flying into a pane of glass. And now to show my hand fully. I believe there is only one way to deal with this problem of pain and specifically only one way that give hope and that is through God. If God would make us whole then we can start to make this world whole. And I'm not talking about a sterilized tamed manufactured obedient impotent convenient deity but I refer to Christ.

Michelle sheep don't have to die to produce wool it's not like the fur industry.

Animals don't understand laws otherwise I'm sure we would include them. You have to treat them humanely sure. I agree with that. But human need vs. animals... come on people survival of the fittest. We happen to be on top of the food chain. Take advantage of that while you can. I don't see animal rights people protecting bugs including those that are endangered. They act like children picking only the cute animals. What happened to sticking up for your own kind? Or getting up off your butts and out of everyone else's hair and play with some wild animals. They aren't so cute and cuddly in person.

nothing should have to suffer either for anyone else.. or any person to live.. nothing shoudl be abused either for 'entertainment' .. nothing shoudl lose it's freedom.. for us.. I hope all those CULPRITS out there are listening.. they konw exactly who they are..!
