I have been a vegetarian for 8 years... A strict one meaning I still eat some milk and egg products.

It was a lifestyle choice for me. I would never recommend eating like I do to anyone unwillingly. I really do not have a reason why I chose it. I just did it. Why? Because in America, we have choices. I choose not to eat meat because I do not want to eat meat. Many a soldier has died in plenty of wars for me to make that choice...

I also do several scientific experiments on laboratory rodents, too. I do not wince at the site of blood. I also work with M.D. and surgeons that have done work on human patients. My research deals with finding treatments for heart disease. Artichoke hearts do not beat like mouse hearts... So the asswipe PETA people best not get sick in anybody's hospital and ask for any antibiotics or drugs...

Oh and my hubby is a omniverous veterinarian... The animal right's terrorists are likely to blow up our house because of our chosen professions... I was given an email about how to handle these lunatics--nowhere in the article did it say:

"My Glock Nine hollow points can go 0.8 miles per second, how fast can YOU run?"

OR

"No trespassing, it is a violation...Because Trespassers will be Violated..."

OR

Forget the dog, beware of the owner...

OR

Gun control is using two hands rather than one...
