    I have plenty vegetarian friends who are that way for whatever reasons. None of them PETA related. A few of them just don't like meat much! I do like to consider things like whether animals are happy as pets or whether we may be changing their lives by owning and breeding them, but slaughtering animals and people, ruining property and causing harm to wild populations is not the way to disagree with domestication and animal testing. When PETA 'fighters' release domestic fur minks into the wild, all those mink will die of starvation or be eaten by wild animals. If there are enough of them to cause a population increase in the predator species that eat mink, THEY ARE EVEN SCREWING UP THE NATURAL ECOSYSTEM OF THAT AREA!!! And what if some of those released mink have screwed up genes from being bred on a fur farm? If they breed with native animals, they could be messing up the local population as well. It's not likely to make the locals go extinct, but it certainly isn't helpful!
