They became vegetarians when they moved to a beautiful spread in Europe somewhere. They had a lot of sheep, which they enjoyed watching roaming about the place. They said it occurred to them, why would we kill them to eat them? We can get protein and the vitamins in other ways, so why would we kill our beautiful animals to eat them? So they became vegetarians. Makes sense to me.

PETA can go a bit overboard sometimes, but the org. does good work, and is primarily responsible for fewer rich people buying fur these days.

People who don't understand it, don't usually know about the slaughtering and processing of meats. (Read up on veal.) And how cruel the fur business is. For something as silly as wearing on your back, when other products serve the same purpose.
