I've been on and off vegan for almost three years now, but at least vegetarian, and find the act of murder and/or cannibalism as sweet justice to those who selfishly believe that humans have the right to raise and harvest animals as though they are crops. I myself, like most vegetarians, have an ironic interest in cannibalism and don't see anything wrong with comparing the murder of one person, or persons even, with that of the slaughtering practices that go along with factory farming so most of you can go to walmart and get a steak for less then dirt when the actual price of life, which last I checked, was a mirical and therefore priceless.

While we were talking about family and things she says" oh did you hear about this man in Canada on a Greyhound bus ? There was this one guy who was asleep and another male passinger jumped him stabed him and decapatated him." All I could say was OMG! Then when she said that he carried the head to the front of the bus like a trophy and started eating it....I was ready to vomit. Now I heard about this animal rights activist using it as a way to promote animal rights ! People wake up, wake up, wake up. I'm a christan but I don't go to church my life and prayers are still intouch with God and every day our lives and what we read in the book of Revelations are here now today. I don't go to church because of health reasons. All through my younger life my mother was affraid for me. But if she was alive today she would be a lot more so. I'm 53 and never ever thouth I would hear and see what is going on today. My daughter is married and has a 3 yr old. They are thinking about having another baby. It's her life but I would never (if I could) bring another life in this world. Baby's aresweet and inocent and we live in a world that men rape baby's and tear their lives apart or kill these little wonders of the world. They are coming into a world with no modesty, no religion of any king in our schools and little respect for our nation and our flag. Wake up people before it's to late. God bless the young man who was murdered. Thankful that he doesn't have to live in this crazy world any more ,thankful he is in a better place than we are. M and A From Animal Rights harangue to a religious rant, h'mmm interesting if totally irrelevant 8/10/08

Its affecting people too - more cancers of the bowel and other parts of the alimentary canal, raised blood pressure and many other diseases which arise because of a high protein diet. We have swung away from insufficient foodstuffs to too much and are suffering because of it. Animals breed (us included) if the food is on feast levels, but once famine hits,animals stop breeding or kill their newborn -there is a balance in Nature, its Humanity that messes about with this balance. But I agree PETA have lost sight completely of what they are meant to stand for,I used to make donations, but don't like their almost terrorist stance. We should be able to respect all species, but its only Mankind that gets a kick out of killing, and I think we need to start viewing ourselves with a less adoring worship. The being who killed the young man on the Greyhound bus was human I understand?

I myself was vegatarian for almost 10 years. But what peta has done here is.. Their comparing animals to people and it proves that there blinded by their cause and have lost the ability to think criticaly. First of all animals are part of the food source. If we were never to eat animals and poultry and fish.......we would have such an over population of animals we would all be starving in order to feed them all. Just because some die hard vegatarian decided that it was not humane to eat animals does not make it the truth The truth is... Animals are our food source, and those that say this is not so are in a lie, and they are presenting this lie as a truth.......and then are trying to get meat eaters to answer to their lie as if it is a truth. What Peta should be focusing on. Is a way to kill the animals humanley so they dont even know it's happening. Find a cheaper way for them to do this then how they are doing it now and they will do it! as a human we are supposed to be the most intelligent speices on the plant we should have the responsibility to perform this work in the least posisble hurtful way possible Peta should Use your recourses to find a way to help these people to kill and illiminate these animal in a less painfull way Find a way to make it cheaper and it will be done! and that is all the big corporations will ever listen to in the end. is MONEY! their not stupid if they save money by using a different method of killing these animals they will do it. Then Use your moral judgement on Moral issues like child ponography or child starvation. By peta useing this story... You just re-comminted the same crime that you are accusing others of by using the greyhound bus story to further your agenda...........again......your lies are seen...........you are presenting a moral issue for a non moral issue and presenting it as a truth.

What happened to that unfortunate young man on the bus is inflicted daily on millions of nonhuman animals, and few are outraged--most humans persist in believing that killing and eating the flesh of nonhumans is perfectly sane and ethical. What PETA is saying in it's in-your-face way is not that human lives are worth less than the lives of other animals, but that humans should never forget that they're not the only species whose lives deserve consideration and respect. It's not Us versus Them. All species are in this together.
