Guest guest Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 Hey, guys; I have a relative who is NOT a vegetarian, who keeps sending me stuff about how awful it is that they're killing wolves. Now, of course, I agree that it's awful, but it irks me that she's not concerned about the torture and death of the animals she eats. Any thoughts on a good piece to pass on to her (w/Thanksgiving coming up, something about turkeys would be particularly appropriate)? -Thanks, Amy - The Vegan Society Tuesday, November 16, 2004 8:44 AM Spot The Vegan Challenge!

I would start by exploring their interest in wolves, agreeing with them. Wolves are magnificent animals. Then you might talk about wild turkeys. How in the wild they were so respected by Ben Franklin for their intelligence, tenacity and other great attributes. Find information about wild turkeys. Then compare them to what a manufactured turkey is and let them come to their own conclusion. I recommend not pushing, people embrace an idea when they think it their own.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Thanks. I passed along the PETA stuff, and she said she's seriously considering it. - Bob C Wednesday, November 17, 2004 8:09 AM Re: wolves & turkeys Amy Fried, Ph.D. wrote: > Hey, guys; I have a relative who is NOT a vegetarian, who keeps > sending me stuff about how awful it is that they're killing wolves. > Now, of course, I agree that it's awful, but it irks me that she's not > concerned about the torture and death of the animals she eats.
