I agree with both of you. I think PETA's antics are in dire need of revision. I think *protest itself* is is need of revision.

You're correct that fighting animal abuse and fighting human abuse aren't mutually exclusive; I personally consider them two sides of the same coin. We live in a world of unthinkable violence; could we perhaps help our own species by redefining our relationship with others?

Jason argues that humans should come first, that until human abuse is brought under some semblance of control efforts to "save the chicken" are secondary. One could just as easily argue that coming to the aid of the animals we so casually butcher could serve as a step in confronting our innate tendency toward violence.

But ultimately this is probably too trite. I think human and animal cruelty are symptomatic of one another.

The least we can do is boycott fast-food restaurants. All of them. They're all vile, unnecessary and incredibly damaging. I'm not going to try to convince people that meat is murder; but for heaven's sake, *think* before you bite into that hamburger!
