I'm curious Korn, how you'd classify me... do you think I am a strict vegetarian? (I feel like we're off topic here and should be discussing this in another thread but anyhoo..), I follow a strict plant-based diet, II am making the change to all natural, cruelty-free products (shampoos, soaps, toothpastes, deos, cosmetics, etc...), I am strongly against factory-farming and animal testing, I am passionate about the environment, rain-forest protection, animal conservation... I feel humans are not superior to other anmials (cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, rabbits, monkeys, fish) and have no right to torture, exploit or kill them. I have decided not to buy any more leather products, and not to go fishing anymore. BUT, when it comes to insects, I have a problem equating a cockroach with a goat. I see cockroaches, ants, termites, etc as pests, and really feel no guilt when I squash them. When my cat had fleas, I had no problem killing them. And honestly if I had a rat infestation in my home, I would get the rat poison. So do "perfect vegans" allow their appartments to become infested with roaches and vermin and their pets to suffer with fleas? That is where I have a problem with veganism. I did not mean to attack your views/beliefs, I just get frustrated because I think I am more than just a strict vegetarian, yet I cannot call myself a vegan. What am I?
