There are three things I love about animals. The first is that no matter what, they aren't going to judge us for eating or using them. I'm not so into steaks, but you break out some chicken and I will come running. I also love bacon and eggs for breakfast, honey in my tea, and ice cream for dessert. I hate being told that I'm a killer or murderer when death is something that animals accept, especially death at the hands of some other animal that is way bigger / smarter / faster than themselves. I also love leather, rabbit fur, and any other super soft animal product that I can wear and enjoy feeling on my skin. If I could run over a rabbit everyday and wear it's pelt on my feet, I would. In fact, I would have a whole rabbit outfit because that stuff is so soft it's unbelievable. Humans are typically smarter and bigger if not always faster than animals. That's why we can kill them and use these things. Granted, we don't kill bees for honey (well, I just kill them because I hate them) or chickens for their eggs (although I would if it needed to be done). I also believe that horse meat should take over instead of cow meat, because horses are "uninhibited raping machines" (The Oatmeal) and I hate their horsey guts, too. Eating them would make things right in the world. I don't mind cows so much.
The second thing I love about animals is that many of them are REALLY REALLY cute. I don't care if they're not meant to be caged and gawked at. I love going to zoos and petting all the animals in captivity that I can. If you have a petting zoo, I will probably touch all your animals. If you have a farm, I will still probably touch all your smelly, dying, uncared for animals. If you have a class pet or are dissecting animals in class, I want to look / touch / check out your animal.
The third thing I love about animals is that regardless of how "inhumane" some of humanity sees all of this as, animals are going to love us regardless. Not necessarily wild animals. I don't suggest trying to hug a hippo, those are some mean bastards. I also don't suggest kicking your dog, either. But this whole wearing animals and eating animals / animal products don't piss off the animals as much as you think it does. Either they already hate humans, or they don't. And if they already hate us, prepare to be turned into something useful.
Love, Polly.
PS. PETA, I'm not afraid of you.
