I have this weird distinction between humans and other species, then primates and other species with higher brain functioning (dolphins, etc) and other species, and plants. Don't want to wear fur, perform invasive experiments on apes if it can be helped (though other animals seem to have no effect on me). I eat meat though, habit and taste. I may come to the point where I eat none, but it will take time.
I don't like PETA's new campaign. The Shoah and factory farming (this includes vegetables too, folks, all them pesticides) are bad, but they are different kinds of bad, done to different species for different reasons. A chicken farm owner doesn't hate and fear chickens.
Two journal entries about it:

Then again, she's got some good writings too.
As for the day, I have written down tasks to do, finished a short piece I sent to only one person because she would get the inspiration for the piece. I still have more of my novel to do. I am itching to do the next Clowns de la Mort story, but then, I have no clue what direction to take the group. Straight rescue? Sabotage? Performance art? Warnings of death? If all four, what parts do Daniel and Timothee play? How does Louise-Marguerite get diverted from her dream of acting? How does she met model Nataniah? How does Naomi-Chaiya meet up with the Clowns?
