Some people who support animal rights prefer not to wear silk because the worms inside the cocoons do not survive the silk-making process. Wool The term wool is a general one, referring to protein fibers spun from the fleece of over two hundred different breeds of sheep and from the hair of the angora rabbit, the cashmere goat, the camel, the alpaca, the llama, and the wild vicuna. Highest-quality sheep's wool and exotic wools are generally taken from the animals by seasonal shearing or by combing the animal and collecting the hair as it naturally sheds.

I had become a vegetarian because of animal rights and later learned of all the health benefits of being a vegetarian. I'm sure like a few other vegetarians out there, I debated over feeding my companion animals meat, and I wanted all those health benefits for my 'kids.' So in 1989, I began feeding by two dogs, Blacki and Sheiba, a homemade vegetarian diet—what could be better, natural food, right? In 1991, I adopted Tyler and began him on a homemade vegetarian diet also. In 1991, Blacki died of heart failure, believed to be, but not properly diagnosed as dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).

Compassion to Animals The issue of animal rights is a sensitive one, and for many people it is a factor in choosing products. Even within the animal-rights and protection movement, there is significant variety in the goals people are working toward, and in their motivations for doing so. The most predominant issue is the use of animals in testing frivolous consumer products such as cosmetics.

D RAIZE TEST • An animal test used to determine the effects of different substances on the eye. animal rights advocates oppose the use of animals—usually rabbits—for this purpose. Replacements include laboratory techniques that use freshly isolated tissues, tissue-cultured cells, or nonliving systems.

He told me precisely what animal rights groups were saying about operations like his, and exactly why they were opposed to his way of doing things. Then, without pausing, he launched into a tirade about how he didn't like being called cruel, and they didn't know anything about the business he was in, and why couldn't they mind their own business. As he spoke it, the knot in my stomach was relaxing, because it was becoming clear, and I was glad of it, that he meant me no harm, but just needed to vent.

In 1987, for example, administrators of US government research agencies met with a lobbyist for the private biomedical researchers to develop a strategy for fighting the growing animal rights campaign against animal testing. "The stakes are enormous," stated a memo circulated at the meeting by Frederick K. Goodwin, one of the participating federal officials.

The memo went on to outline a strategy for keeping the government behind the scenes while encouraging private groups to undermine the animal rights movement: "Wherever feasible, the research institutions should leave the 'out front' activities to the other groups. . . . Agencies should find some acceptable way to provide funding for some of these efforts and technical support for others." Interviewed later, Goodwin explained the reasoning behind his strategy: "We're not allowed to lobby. There's a law against it.

It was kind of common knowledge among people who went to all of the animal rights events," she said. "He was laid-back and came across real friendly. He'd show up and lurk around and talk to people. Usually someone would recognize him and go over and say, 'He works for Perceptions Press.

Seymour checked and learned that none of Reber's children were enrolled at the school. The incident upset her. It seemed like an attempt at intimidation. But it was nothing compared to later events. Bombing the Boss According to journalist Lisa McGurrin Driscoll, Mary Lou Sapone entered the animal rights movement in the summer of 1987 when she appeared at a conference in Washington, DC.

News of the arrest spread quickly through the animal rights movement. Shocked and alarmed, Julie Lewin phoned Sapone trying to figure out who Trutt was. In the ensuing conversation, which was also secretly recorded, Sapone withheld information about her relationship with Trutt and pretended to search her memory. "I think the name is familiar," Sapone said. "I'm trying to piece this together. ... I remember the last name because it was kind of distinctive. It was like a strong—you know, I remember. I remember names sometimes. ...

The benefit?of Technology for Health The technological revolution of the twentieth century, as unbelievable as it may seem, has had an insignificant impact on the health of the general public.

Avoid X-rays whenever possible. They may weaken tissues and increase cancer risk. POSITIVE CHANGES AT HOME Keep all chemicals and toxic products away from children, and keep children away from them.

At times, as he spoke about how much he hated the modern factory methods of pork production, he reminded me of the very animal rights people who a few minutes before he said he wished would drop dead. As the conversation progressed, I actual]}" began to develop some sense of respect for this man whom I had earlier judged so harshly. There was decency in him. There was something within him that meant well. But as I began to sense a spirit of goodness in him, I could only wonder all the more how he could treat his pigs the way he did. Little did I know that I was about to find out. . .

Their chicken was born and died in a factory—an animal factory, as Jim Mason, leading farm animal rights advocate, calls it. Today's chicken lives without ever seeing the light of day. In fact, the light in its artificially created environment is controlled so that it will remain subdued. It is packed so tightly together with two to four other birds in a tiny twelve-inch cage that it cannot even flap its wings —it can barely move at all. Its beak is often removed so it won't peck its cage mates to death in frustration. Its environment is temperature-controlled.

How on Earth he knew I had any affinity to animal rights I will never know—I had painstakingly avoided any mention of any such thing—but I do know that my stomach tightened immediately into a knot. To make matters worse, at that moment his two sons leapt from the table, tore into the den, slammed the door behind them, and turned the TV on loud, presumably preparing to drown out what was to follow. At the same instant, his wife nervously picked up some dishes and scurried into the kitchen. As I watched the door close behind her and heard the water begin running, I had a sinking sensation.

Public Citizen has neither a vegetarian nor an animal rights agenda. Yet, in 2000, the organization stated categorically that the meat industry's factory farms "are responsible for most of the problems with food-borne disease."1' Public Citizen explained, "Many cows are raised in dirty conditions in huge, city-sized feedlots where they become smeared with fecal matter and other filth. In this condition, they are transported to slaughterhouses, where rapid processing takes place. Workers are under pressure to work as quickly as possible, killing and gutting as many as 330 animals per hour.

The Beef-Eater's Guide to Modern Meatn "A common perception of livestock people is that animal rights activists don't understand the livestock industry (they don't 'get it,' in current terminology) because of their urban backgrounds... .

Religious beliefs, concerns about animal rights, and views of the fundamental nature of society, for example, influence the way people think about food. So do vested interests. Like any other kind of science, nutrition science is more a matter of probabilities than of absolutes and is, therefore, subject to interpretation. Interpretation, in turn, depends on point of view. Government agencies invoke science as a basis for regulatory decisions. Food and supplement companies invoke science to oppose regulations and dietary advice that might adversely affect sales.

If Americans ate 10 percent less meat, the savings in grain would be equivalent to the shortfall that produces starvation in India, according to Alex Hershaft, president of the Vegetarian Society and leading animal rights activist, in an interview in October 1982 on "Natural Living" on WBAI. Summary Vegetarian foods are as varied as the world's many national cuisines. In every country, people have learned to consume the proteins of grains, legumes tubers, nuts, seeds, and even starchy fruits so that they obtain complete proteins by combining various incomplete sources.
