Unfortunately for them their star has an expected life of one tenth of our star hence the reason they have come to live among us bringing their rather strange habits with them.

You say you went vegan for the animals.
Can I ask, how difficult have you found it applying that to the rest of your life?
Where do you get your shoes from for example? Have you found a sofa that doesn't exploit animals? Do you wear string instead of a leather belt etc?
personally I would find it very difficult if not impossible to work through everything and cut out all the things that involve the exploitation of animals.

Re: Phony Meat
Only ONCE in my life have I had a non-meat main meal.I owned a music shop (with a couple of branches) and had worked for EMI and others for over twenty years.
I was involved with a local Festival Committee, organizing entertainment.
Customers of mine had a very talented son, about 15yo, whom I thought good enough to pay him $50 to perform off the back of a truck prior to the 'main event'.
In gratitude for giving him that exposure, his parents invited me to his (rented) home for dinner.
RABBIT FOOD.
I enjoyed the night, and their company, immensely.
.... then went home and had MEAT !
That 'kid' is now an international star, married to an Oscar winner.

Would you rather they starve to death just to spare an animal's life?

.The world's population is growing so fast if every baby born was to be bought up an animal eater there will not be enough animals to provide the meat needed.

Not to be mean or anything, but your posts are very contradictory. I can't always make out what your exact points are supposed to be, but I do know this - you're for not killing animals. And that's great. That's your prerogative. Just as it's the prerogative of many others to eat meat.
Like I said in another thread, we could go on for days talking about this, but it's not going to change anything. People will change as they want to.
