I'm a vegan, and I see no problem with aquariums with rescued large mammals and fish bred and born into captivity. That's like five aquariums I'd still visit, okay? This doesn't make me any less vegan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799660367320178164.post-58695638783536841582012-09-21T02:42:01.089-07:002012-09-21T02:42:01.089-07:00Beautifully conceived and written!

On my very first outing as a (trainee) first aider, a couple of women who were going to be abseiling later on came up and said that we were not inspiring them with confidence, sitting there in our uniforms.<br /><br />The others kept quiet, as one should do if representing an organisation and not wanting to call someone a prat. But I said that we wouldn't be there if we thought the abseiling firm weren't trained in safe procedures, and that we were much more likely to be needed for a blistered foot or dehydrated person than because of anything going wrong with the sponsored abseil.<br /><br />It really brought it home to me how much some people project!!!Vanilla Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07946634138308342764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799660367320178164.post-18762029208844820392012-08-03T21:33:22.867-07:002012-08-03T21:33:22.867-07:00I agree with your comparison that having a patrol ...I agree with your comparison that having a patrol car behind you is very much like being under the watchful "vegan police" eye. It's an awful feeling to have every single move/word "micro-managed". <br /><br />The dramas can be terribly off-putting, especially to those who are new on the scene and watching from afar. I'm not saying we can't disagree... But I'd hope the squabbles are about stuff of genuine substance and worthy of our effort. And of course - Those things worthy of debate should also be important enough to use our most civil, courteous and alliance building manners. <br /><br />My thought has always been that we're fighting in the same war... Just from different trenches. And for now - The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Vegan "police" don't contribute much to that end...<br /><br />Thanks for this post! I obviously loved it! ;)Bea Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981537551810309024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799660367320178164.post-90526388114852163062012-08-03T14:30:47.674-07:002012-08-03T14:30:47.674-07:00Beautifully said Marla!Beautifully said Marla!Valhttp://myveganchristianlife.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799660367320178164.post-71050173904780097102012-08-02T20:54:24.762-07:002012-08-02T20:54:24.762-07:00Excellent and I've definitely "been there...Excellent and I've definitely "been there, done that."

I recently felt run overthe railroad simply because I was defending that the word vegan should mean something while others think sometimes-i-dont-eat-meat-so-on-those-days-im-a-vegan is simply ok. The argument invariably got twisted into another one and boy was i called self righteous by some people i thout were pretty SR themselves. Sheesh. If we are vegan shouldnt we not eat our own? Well im off to my cardio kickboxing lass.

In the end, that struggle just makes me sad, angry and unmotivated - all the opposite feelings that being vegan give me.<br /><br />Thank you for this!Rhea Parsonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00381206444697433742noreply@blogger.com
