"That's Charlie". It was truly magical.

That's nuthin. The cow, the goat, the lamb bred by the kids in the farm programs are very expressive. What kid doesn't like a little piglet? And yet the farm programs exist to teach the kids about raising cattle for slaughter. Some don't survive that experience, and join PETA (I guess). I can understand wishing to avoid the slaughterhouse method, the assembly-line butchery and waste. Ideally, an animal is killed and most every bit eaten or otherwise used. That's difficult to do in the centralized assembly-line ship and delivery channels that were created in the 19th century. Entire animals are killed, literally to no purpose. Many are killed to no purpose. But to argue that they should never be killed is immoral. Animals are NOT 'people too'. They specifically are not. And it may be a moral gesture to be a vegetarian. I don't doubt that. But for a vegetarian to try and turn the reality of the world upside down is a lie, is wrong, and is immoral. And that describes PETA. They are not doing the Lord's work.

Ok, no more fish. I'll just have to go back to eating veal instead.

Oh, and a point about fishing: we're not doing anything to the fish that they aren't doing to each other! When one hits a bait on a hook, what do you think he's trying to do - save it from drowning?
