I can respect that it's not the membership of the site, okay. I didn't read that far into the consortium of bloggers that it is. In my opinion, and this doesn't make me fabulously popular with the more militant vegans of the world, the activists in the wildlife/birding (I hope that's appropriate, I don't have anything better to categorize that) world, enviromentalists and animal rights and welfare folks are all on the same side on so many things. We should channel our energies into what we agree upon rather than scolding each other at every turn when it suits us. It makes temporary enemies of folks we should be friends with on whatever front we can be.

Just like my reaction. I took a swipe at your site and tossed a haymaker at the Sierra Club at the same time. I'll bet you dollars to (vegan) donuts there's some important shit we could all work together on instead.

Politics be damned, on some things we're all in the same gang. Time to fucking act like it.
