Okay. I don't think that anyone besides the original poster (who was just young and sort of uninformed) is attacking meat eaters. However, some meat-eaters are getting overly defensive.

We will all choose to eat/consume whatever we feel right about. We all have the capability to reason out why or why not we choose to consume animals, and we all have valid reasons for choosing those actions.

That said, I think PETA is a well-intentioned but misguided organisation. If you've joined PETA, I want you to answer something: Do you believe that animals have equal rights to human beings?

Think carefully about this one. Realise that equality is a very big thing. Animal welfare is a totally different concept from animal equality.

PETA is like any organisation, their going to give you information that benefits THEMSELVES. Just like I would not take information on beef's nutritious qualities from the Beef Farming Industry, I would not take information on vegetarianism/veganism from a biased organisation like PETA.
