=======================
And they stop right there! Usenet vegans come here with complete
ignorance of their impact on animals and the environment. If
fact, many have come here and declared that their diet causes
*NO* animal deaths. So much for your next claim that they
research any further than propaganda site against meat.


From there, it is only a small step to considering the

=========================
You would think so, wouldn't you? Only usenet vagans have proven
time and time again they have not gone beyond the simple rule for
their simple minds, 'eat no meat.'

============================
Not the one4s here on usenet. they continue to prove that caring
for animals is a pose, not a real concern. Afterall, here they
are, spewing their ignorance for all the world to see.



It works the other way, too:

=========================
What a coincidence, the same is true for you and everyother
usenet veagn is buying factory-farmed veggies.

=====================
No, they prove that by continuing to focus *only* on what they
think others are doing. But thanks again for proving the true
lack of concern that usenet vegans have for animals, killer.
