I'm not sure how I have insulted anyone, but if I did it was unintentional and
I apologize! ( wowzers...touchy touchy! )
The question re:ARista was tongue in cheek. The word is bandied about so often,
it does seem to me it is used whenever someone takes a position you may
disagree with.
BestFriends and DogsDeserveBetter and BSL......sheesh. How utterly ridiculous.
Has anyone even read the reports at the Summit they held in Denver? It doesn't
seem so.
And you're right, I have no clue as to fashion. But I do try hard to make sure
my T shirts match my jeans and runners or rubber boots!

Colleen -
Your attitude about animal rights shows clearly that you don't
understand the movement at all. What YOU call animal rights is not what
the organized groups call it...to
them, animal rights means no one owns
the animals, that they are responsible for themselves, and in some
cases, that we shouldn't make use of them..that is, eat them, wear them,
etc. PETA is NOT the only group out there...Best Friends, an
organization with which Tammy Grimes is affiliated, is another one.
As for the term "ARista," it is simply a modern way of referring to
the people who are involved in the animal rights movement. Perhaps you
are not interested in anything else where that type of term is used,
such as "fashionista," for example.
Your paragraph explaining your interpretation of animal rights would
be confusing as all get out to an ARista...you have most of the right
words, but then you say you have no problem with kenneling dogs...well,
trust me, the ARistas have a big problem with it.
Instead of
insulting people, Colleen, you should study up and find
out what people are talking about.

As the animal in charge, the human animal should at the very least be kind to
the ones we tend to.
