Enneagram Type 5 Board Archive Where do you put your money?Posted by Diarmuid on October 24, 2001 at 08:26:26: In Reply to: Eat Flesh Wear Skin posted by Cat Lover on October 24, 2001 at 07:34:46: Do you put your paycheck in a bank account? Chances are, that bank (or some company affiliated with it) has investments in a company that kills (or performs experiments on) animals. : : That said, I pay companies to kill innocent animals all the time. I eat their flesh and wear their skin. : I agree with your point - that it is somewhat hypocritical to condemn an individual killing a pet and yet condone (or worse, merely participate in without thinking) the wholesale annual slaughter of tens of millions of animals for various products. It is a double-standard that many "animal rights" activists stupidly support. : However, there are also many animal rights activists or others who are vegetarian, eschew leather, and "put their money where their mouths are" by purchasing only those products which don't engage in animal experimentation or exploitation.
