    In January, 2000 Laura Fraser wrote the article “Why I Stopped Being a Vegetarian” for Salon magazine. Fraser is an author published in several national magazines including The New York Times, Vogue, and O: the Oprah magazine. Attempting to reach an audience of either new or long term vegetarians/vegans, Fraser discusses her journey of changing her vegetarian lifestyle of 15 years to quitting entirely. She happened to write this article in the beginning of the year while most are advancing their new year's resolutions.

    Gangs in particular have pit bulls as guard dogs and they train their dogs to be mean and to attack. Does anyone ever stop and think that these dogs can get out of the owners house who doesn’t care about the dog and go attack people, or if the owner ends up selling the dog. Every day many dogs are put down because dogs have been attacking humans, and of course everyone wants to blame the dog. People need to see that the owner is to blame for not disciplining the dog right. Del Crookes states “nearly 5,000 dogs have been seized by the police in the last three years because they’re suspected of being a banned breed.”…

    Marilyn, I agree with you that “many diseases come from ingestion of infected meat.” I am not a vegetarian, instead, I love to eat red meat.
