I fully agree with you Michael.
In fact, maybe the Japanese should be able to whale, because when we would be more honest and less naive about what we are doing on this planet, we really aren't better than the Japanese anyways...
Slaughtering pigs in
quite cruel ways happens just about every second and it's really only justified by the fact that there are so many of them. I enjoy eating pig meat and I'm really not naive enough

to become a vegetarian, but it has been a LONG tradition of these animal rights activists to exaggerate
everything.
Even if they are basically are doing a good thing (that is stand up for animals that can't talk :p ), they actually ruin the whole thing with most of their actions.
