If you honestly think I am a hopeless case, whatever, I'll drop the issue and pick it up when I feel I can humanely tackle it.
Sorry for my frustration - maybe you genuinely what to learn the truth. Wombing explained it very well - better than I could, actually.

I'm also sorry you were raised to think that killing innocent animals is okay. Just because people have been doing it for centuries, doesn't make it right. I'm all for listening to and trusting your parents, but they make mistakes, too. You have to question things that you think may not be right - don't just take everything people tell you for granted. For example, my mom doesn't like to eat seafood and thinks it's gross and disgusting, but that didn't stop me from eating all the shrimp I could get my hands on.
