To be a vegan or vegetarian is a choice of lifestyle. I'm not saying it is right or wrong, I don't care one way or the other. For many countries meat is not only a necessity but deeply entrenched within their culture. So to say that it isn't necessary is a bit off base. One must remember that just because meat may not be needed to sustain life it doesn't make it any less important in many cultures.

Also, I think many people lose sight that the "legal" skin trade is a way of life for these countries, many of which are below poverty. Who are we to say that it is wrong and that it should be abolished, is that not what P.E.T.A and the HSUS are doing to us as pet owners? Seems hypocritical to me.
