       Which animals, and to what extent did their efforts improve them? Remember   
   that when you can't provide any examples, we will still have no examples.   
      
   >Just because they wish those animals were not raised in the first   
   >place, you refuse to applaud their efforts.  In other words you actually   
   >care nothing about the suffering of animals,   
      
       I take the suffering AND the positive aspects into consideration.   
   Eliminationists only consider the suffering without considering the positive   
   aspects for any animals involved with raising livestock. Not for wildlife, and   
   certainly not for the livestock they dishonestly pretend to care about.   
      
   >something you have demonstrated   
   >many times. All you care about is convincing people to get on board your   
   >"appreciation" train, an idea that does not help a single animal.   
      
       If PeTA went at it with a different approach, and encourage people to eat   
   particular animal products because they provide decent lives for the animals,   
   it   
   would be an entirely different thing. Then more emphesis and interest would be   
   on providing decent lives for livestock and people wouldn't feel the need to   
   wipe them out. That would be IF they cared about the animals, which we can see   
   they obviously do not. They/You are OPPOSED to caring about the animals as you   
   demonstrate consistently. The situation is never going to change. Only you   
   eliminationists COULD change from promoting elimination to promoting giving a   
   shit, but you don't and don't want anyone else to. That's because you don't   
   care   
   at all about the animals. You're only care is about the fact that it disturbs   
   you because other people eat meat, and that's ALL you people are capable of   
   really caring about. If you cared about the animals you would encourage   
   appreciation for lives of positive value even if you yourself were honest about   
   not contributing to any...you would still approve of those who do. I know from   
   examples from personal experience. For example I don't eat muton, but I can   
   appreciate lives of positive value for sheep even so, just as I can for types   
   of   
   animals I do consume. The ONLY reason to oppose appreciation, is because you   
   are   
   opposed to the lives themselves.

       Why you began to lie is a big issue to both of us, but in different ways.   
   You wanted to be like Goo, so he told you to start lying about your true   
   position. He let you know that no one who is in favor of AW over elimination   
   and   
   has good reasons to feel that way, could respect the oppinion of   
   eliminationists. So he advised you to just start lying and say that you're in   
   favor of AW, and that you began eating meat, in an attempt to get true AW   
   supporting meat consumers to respect you. While that was going on Goo made a   
   point of chasing off all of the true AW supporters that he could, so now I'm   
   the   
   only one left. Now I'm the only audience you and Goo who are just dishonest   
   eliminationists have left, and I know you're eliminationists. So you and Goo   
   still denying it at this point is about as stupid as it gets.

       In case you hadn't noticed, I always try to get you to try to back up your   
   shit, and usually spend most of my time challenging you to try, pointing out
