Vegetarians do not eat meat, fish, or poultry. Vegans, in addition to being vegetarian, do not use other animal products and by-products such as eggs, dairy products, honey, leather, fur, silk, wool, cosmetics, and soaps derived from animal products.

To Lucy -- since you're a vegan, do you use any of the above items?

Being pro-life (we're talking about humans) and killing animals are two totally different topics. Since someone quoted the Bible, the Bible also talks in Genesis where God tells Adam that man is to have dominion over the animals. Animals and humans are on different levels, with man over the animals.

As for hunting, if the population isn't thinned out, we have sick and starving animals, we have rabies on the rise, we have deer hitting our automobiles. Right now, in my area, we have so many deer, there's deer on the road that have been hit every day. We came home the other night and I had three sleeping in my yard! It's much more humane to kill these animals with a gun than having them suffer starvation and disease or being hit by an automobile.
