wow, thanks for that!  about the honey, it has bacteria in it is why babies cannot have it.  i didn't know about what we do to silk worms.  yes, you are right, humans just have disregard for other animal life and their suffering.  i cannot believe people would order veal, but i suppose most people don't know.  but, if no one ordered it, out gov't and big business would find a way to put it in everything we eat and hide it, which they probably do already, since so many young male cows are put in veal cages.  i am just so amazed how i can be part of the human race, yet i would never exploit or torture an animal.  i have fished for trout and had to hit their heads to kill them, but i ate them. 

i feel what some humans do to animals is horrible and nothing like that.  it is mainly men who do it.  i am not male bashing here and i know there are many good men out there who would not even hurt a fly, but truly, men commit most violent crimes and men are behind most brutalty done to animals.  i think it is the testosterone that does it, don't know.  i know we need them, as their aggressiveness was crucial to our survival, but the horrid things done to innocent animals is sickening and makes me ashamed to be a part of the human race.  i wish it would stop.  we do not need to brutalize animals to survive.  we don't need massive cow farms.  in fact, we would probably be much healthier and better off without eating or using cows for food at all.  milk and dairy are unhealthy to humans and red meat has a bad rap i think only from all the toxic stuff they add to it.

i do not buy things when i know an animal was tortured, but sadly mst humans do, either because they don't know or don't care.  so, us folks that do not support such things, do not make much of a difference in this greedy world.
