What is Voice for Animals trying to sell?

Voice for Animals is comprised of extremists who's view point is only a little off the beaten path. It would not what I would say to be "mainstream" The majority of the people in this country don't think and have the same values as the people in Voice for Animals. (good thing too) I believe in not being cruel to animals as well but these people have gone way beyond what most normal people believe.Below is a list I took off the Voice for Animals website:

1) Animals in entertainment-this would include circuses, rodeo's and zoos. Animal rights extremists do not believe in allowing us to see, touch or watch any animals. They want all zoos, rodeo's and circuses closed, period.

2) Sport hunting and fishing-they are demanding that fishing and hunting is to be outlawed. This really goes over well in Alberta here. If Voice for Animals doesn't like hunting and fishing, well that's just too bad because it's not going to change.

3)Animals in research and product testing- They are demanding that all research and testing using animals to be stopped. Though I also don't like testing using animals, I do realize it does save lives.

4) Fur production-I thought the fur business was a thing of the past. There are very few people wearing furs today. Voice for animals should work on this one because it's pretty much a dead issue. (no pun intended)

5) Companion animals-they changed the name of pets to companion animals, I guess it sounds better. I agree in the well being of our pets and it would be rather nice if Voice for Animals actually did something to help them out.

6) Factory farming and vegetarianism-I am not even going to touch any problems with farming in Alberta, if they don't like it, tuff beans. And now we get around to discussing vegetarianism. Well it goes like this...I like a good steak so quit your complaining. Why are they trying to convert me from my heathen ways when I like being who I am. Go away and peddle that shit somewheres else
