Bea directed me to an interview with Dr. Elizabeth Parker , the "chair man " (my emphasis) of the Animal Agriculture Alliance at CattleNetwork, which apparently is "The Source for Cattle News." Are we pinning people down and force-feeding them vegan burritos? Of course, Lobo is missing the point entirely.

I've been out of every loop I used to be in because my work outside of veganism and animal rights came a-calling in a most critical way.

Is a vegan's efforts at advocacy worth more than a vegetarian's or even a meat eater's if they happen to agree on the same issue? At the same time, do we have the time to wait for everyone to become vegan to enact laws that will at least allow more humane care in the short term.

Even if you become 100 percent vegan, how much of the drugs you take, the makeup you wear and the cleaning products you use have been tested on an animal? This is an important issue. Many animal supporters get caught up in fighting the food industry, but animal testing is as ugly and fundamental an issue.
