Since I'm already in rant mode...

So a few weeks back I joined up with vegetarian. I wish I could say I liked what I see there. Let's take a post from this morning:

Quick Ethical Question
Theres a short weekend job, that I might be able to get which will pay me about $18 an hour.

Thing is, its at the Bronx Zoo handing out yogurt to kids. Although I basically do not have a problem with that, how ethical is it that it's at a Zoo? Do zoo's infringe upon animals rights?

Also, being a vegan, how ethical is it to hand out yogurt to kids? Is that wrong?

Keep in mind I wont take the job, if it truly would be in poor taste, but if I do I can make over $200 bucks in one weekend, for giving kids (...and I enjoy being around them) food (which isn't really hard).

What should I do?
Ethical or not?

Thanks

First off, [insert basic "If you cannot type or spell, get the hell off the Internet." rant].

Second, why why why do you look to someone else to tell you what is ethical? Are you under some mistaken believe that there's One True Right Way of doing things? (I mean, other than my way, of course.)

Some people choose to eat meat. Some choose to drink milk and eat eggs, but not eat meat. Some people want to eat nothing that has ever even been near an animal. Do what you feel comfortable with, people! This is your life! They are your ethics! You have to live with you and with what you do.

"Also, being a vegan, how ethical is it to hand out yogurt to kids?"

Right. Because, as a vegan, it's your duty to override what kids' parents want, and to enforce your beliefs on other people.

Grrr grrr grrr.

Idiots.
