Great r...Can't thank you enough for this post. Great research and I love the way you put it all together. So logical and informative. I am right there with you 100%. And, perhaps I need to come to the same conclusion as you and say I follow a vegan diet - because I continue to use wool in my knitting and wear wool and alpaca often. <br /><br />Thanks again - I am new to your blog, and wow, this was a great post to initiate me :)Lollyhttp://lollygirl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517797058287564272.post-57511077349544957482009-11-12T19:18:01.167-08:002009-11-12T19:18:01.167-08:00wow elaine! thanks for the depth and detail you co...wow elaine! thanks for the depth and detail you covered here! whew! great post. i saw a cat today who'd had the most ridiculous haircut, but i don't think it was hurt in the process. for me, it all boils down to treating all living beings with kindness. it ought to be the number one mandate for any industry or corporation. it's almost impossible to avoid consuming something that hasn't hurt an animal. even synthetic fabrics, somewhere in their manufacturing process, have polluted a river and killed birds, and the teflon industry has ruined entire towns and given people cancer (used in clothing to weatherproof). you're making a well-informed choice. most of us don't take the time to learn about what we're debating, we're happy enough just to pick a side and start the battle. thank you so much for digging deep.Moira Nordholthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10584595461748100574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517797058287564272.post-79300252166590593372009-11-03T16:23:24.625-08:002009-11-03T16:23:24.625-08:00I've never aspired to be a vegan but now I kno...I've never aspired to be a vegan but now I know without a single solitary doubt that I'd never ever never even want to think about the possibility of even considering the remote chance that I would possibly ever even try. :-) The wool debate is less interesting than "Great taste" or "Less filling."50 Something Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11139098990097883257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517797058287564272.post-84590358285505650462009-11-03T14:39:53.632-08:002009-11-03T14:39:53.632-08:00I have known a few vegans, and some of them can be...I have known a few vegans, and some of them can be totally off the wall and uninformed. Wool is definitely a renewable resource and sheep are not ordinarily harmed in the shearing. Sheeesh!kenjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342414519714356343noreply@blogger.com
