What you describe is not disinformation. Anyone with a brain can see that
veganism means the end of livestock species. You aren't pointing out
anything of importance.

"ARAs" lie by saying that veg*nism saves animals and you like to see
them do it, so read this again:

Please don't eat cheese or other dairy products. You'll

For another thing, *some* people might want to contribute to
decent lives for farm animals with their diet.

Not you, we know that.

You much much MUCH less. At least I point it out to people in case someone
reading might want to do it. You not only don't point it out, you oppose me for
pointing it out. That means that YOU are opposed to seeing anyone contribute
to decent lives for farm animals with their diet. There is no question about it!

We know that "ARAs"
would hate to see that become popular,

No they wouldn't, ARAs *promote* animal friendly farming more than anyone.

because it could destroy
any chances they have of eliminating domestic animals.

No it wouldn't, people are quite likely to begin by choosing animal friendly
products then take the step of eliminating meat altogether.

It should
*always* be pointed out that veg*nism/"AR" would **eliminate**
farm animals--

Everybody know that, it's not important.

We don't believe that "everybody" knows that. You do NOT want
everybody to know it. I very much DO want everybody to know. I want
everybody on the planet to know it, and keep it in mind every time they
here the gross mi$nomer "Animal Rights".

NOT do anything to help them--just in case some
people reading misunderstand.

That's an equivocation, the "them" that ARAs want to help are the living
ones, the "them" they want to eliminate are the species themselves. That's
those *unborn* who you don't advocate getting to experience life, remember?

According to the Associated Press (AP) PETA killed 1325 dogs and cats
in Norfolk last year. That was more than half the number of animals is
took in during that period. According to Virginian-Pilot Reporter, Kerry
Dougherty, the execution rate at PETA's "shelter" far exceeds that of the
local Norfolk SPCA shelter where only a third of animals taken in are
"put down."

State Veterinarian, PETA Head Differ On Outbreak
[...]
On Thursday, Ingrid Newkirk, president of People for the Ethical Treatment
of Animals, renewed her claim that an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease
in the United States would benefit herds by sparing them from a tortured
existence and the slaughterhouse.

A PETA spokesman said it's inconceivable that anyone would fail to see
the sense of Newkirk's statements, which have rankled politicians and
livestock farmers from Texas to Canada.

[...]
In a telephone interview from Richmond, Va., Newkirk reiterated her
hope that foot-and-mouth -- which has ravaged herds in Europe -- reaches
U.S. shores.

''It's a peculiar and disturbing thing to say, but it would be less than truthful
if I pretended otherwise,'' she said.

People would be better off without meat because it is tied to a host of
ailments, Newkirk said. And animals would benefit because the current
means of raising and slaughtering livestock are ''grotesquely cruel from
start to finish.''

I suppose you're too deeply involved in this theory of yours to understand
the lack of value in it.
