Q: It's almost inpossible to avoid using all animal products ; if your still causing animal suffering without realizing it
, whats the point?
A: It is impossible to live your life without causing some harm ; we've all accidently stepped
on ants or breathed in gnats , but that doesn't mean we should intentionally cause unnecssary harm. Just because you might
accidently hit someone with your car , is no reason to run over people on purpouse.
Q: What about all the customs
, traditions and jobs , that depend on using animals?
A: The invention of the automobile, the abolition of slavery,
and the end of world war II all neessitated job retraining and reconstructing. This is simply an ingredent in all social progress
- not a reason to deter progress.
Q: Most animals used for fur , food , or experiments are bred for that purpose.....
A: Being bred for a certain purpose does not mean change an animals biological capacity to feel pain and fear.
