One cannot love God without also loving God's creation.

Nothing like quoting a bunch of rich celebrities to really make me want to go out and not mow the lawn. I hate mowing anyway, and $3 a gallon gasoline would make me hate it more if I had a large lawn.
Trees are nature's weather stabilizers. We need trillions of trees.. new trees... The average tree creates 5 pounds of oxygen daily.
Trees are not nature's weather stabilizers. Trees don't stabilize the weather. Nothing stabilizes the weather. Weather isn't supposed to be stable. People who can't deal with the constant variability that is the weather should stay indoors and keep the thermostat in the comfort zone.

At least it sounds like this is catching on:
The Tree Solution
by Jim Wilson
As Greenpeace expanded to become the world's largest international environmental organization, Moore's star steadily rose and he eventually became vice president of research. Then he did something even more unexpected than joining the organization in the first place. He packed up and quit... In the months before his departure, Moore had begun talking heresy. "The environmental movement had gone astray and lost its perspective on forests," Moore says. "Rather than cutting fewer trees and using less wood, we should be growing more trees and using more wood." Greenpeace branded him an eco-Judas. Now comes the biggest surprise of all. Recently published research suggests that Moore is right. Cutting down old trees could be the best way to thwart global warming.

One of God's creations I really love is lobster, right after it's been boiled alive. Mmmmm mmm.

You cannot worship God's creation before God. Something you seem to excel in.

Don't you see any disconnect between your posts and reality?

Nothing there on Vegan dogs and cats, but I will grant you this. There are several dog foods out there that are entirely grains and vegetables.

Yet wild dogs and cats always revert to eating meat. The rabbits attack the garden, not my cats.

Cats require a high protein diet, higher than dogs even. Going to an all vegetable diet would kill the animals.

However, since the site you provided strongly advocates an end to animal testing, how would that group ever figure out that cats and dogs can be vegans?

The tree is giving me the silent treatment. Can I assume this constitutes consent?

Since trees turn carbon dioxide from cars into oxygen
.. the Moore critic is not correct.

Stanley Prusiner discoverer of Mad Cow prions and Mervyn
Hardinge are 2 seekers after truth who left Harvard.
Prusiner found that Harvard was not interested in
research exposing the dangers of meat.

There are pseudoscientists everywhere, corporate whores
who twist the numbers as their paymasters want.

This includes the lumber industry which controls the
Bush regime DOI

Holy crap. My BEER is made from these grasses. Usually, after i cut my lawn, weed whack, and then use the leaf blower, I like to have a nice cold beer.

Man, now I feel awful. I burn gasoline, murder innocent leaves, and then drink products torn from the loving loins of Mother Earth.

Isn't the ultimate goal in Fruitarianism to not depend on solid food at all but to absorb pure energy from the sun?

How's that going?

Why are you still hung up on murdering living cells contained in fruit?
