At least vegetarian PETA members are consistently nutty. Non-PETA members are worse. They're the people who wear leather shoes and boo fur wearers. Or they'll buy a coat with a rabbit fur-lined collar from Burlington Coat Factory, but send nasty letters to corporate headquarters when they learn some of the collars are made with dog fur. Ask someone in McDonald's his opinion on foreigners eating dog, and he'll angrily denounce the practice while bits of dead cow fly from his mouth.
Dogs are our pets.
They protect our homes. They nestle against us after we've had a hard day at work. They run and fetch and romp and play. And I bet they're damn tasty, too. As an omnivore, I'll try just about anything.
