(6,336 posts)Different cultures eat different meats, so I chalk that up to cultural difference. In some parts of the world dogs and cats are not considered pets like they are here. I ate moose earlier this year when I was in Maine and that's unheard of in New Jersey. When I was on the road a few years ago, I had to ask what mutton was. My friend ate chimp when he was in the Peace Corps. In some parts of the world, horsemeat is acceptable, and in others it is not.
As for the attacks on wearing fur, most of them are from the same group (PETA) that produces a lot of vegan activists so I would lump them in the same category.
But have you ever heard of glutten-free activists? Kosher activists? Low-carb activists? When was the last time you saw people protesting a bakery because they serve carbs?
