I have a cousin who is a mystic, believes in reincarnation, and is also a vegetarian. Anyway, he says that animals regard humans as some sort of gods.

I support the SPCA in New Zealand, as they assist animals who have been abandoned and abused. God gifted us animals for our assistance, not to for us to torture and abuse them. Plus, abuse and torture of animals is an early indication of homicidal tendancies.

As for PETA, those people disgust me, comparing battery hens to the horror of the Nazi death camps. Completely tactless.

Animals should have rights to be protected from unwarrented abuse, but not be placed above human life.

There’s a snail in NZL that if you kill you get fined almost a million dollars and get 15 years in prison, yet you can kill your own unborn child and the govt will even pay for it!

I am a supporter of PETA, but you are right to feel disgusted at the comparison to the death camps. Not the best exercise in public or cultural relations

Prove it? Of course not–it’s a mystic thing. You have to take his word for it.

No, we don’t. 🙂

Here’s my two cents worth, just on the off-chance it hasn’t been mentioned: Matthew Scully’s Dominion is an excellent, compelling (even if not totally convincing) read.

Pope Benedict XVI blesses 2 lambs at the Vatican

VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI has blessed two lambs whose wool will be shorn to make shawls for newly appointed archbishops to wear.

The annual blessing takes place on the feast day of St. Agnes, a martyr of early Christianity often symbolized by a lamb.

In the ritual Wednesday, the pope blessed the animals as they lay in two baskets. Each lamb wore a crown of flowers on its head.
