Life in General

Can people who eat chicken object to cock-fighting on the grounds it is cruel to the roosters? I am vegetarian myself and my contention is that it is no more cruel to kill a chicken and eat it than it is to watch two chickens trying to kill each other. I think it is illogical to say that chickens killed for consumption are "humanely" slaughtered as opposed to their trying to do each other in. To begin with, how can apply such concepts as humane to the killing of animals? And how is slaughtering a chicken by cutting its throat more "humane" than a chicken using sharp knives tied to its feet ripping up another chicken?

Do the people who protest against wearing fur also object to leather shoes and wallets and jackets and purses? Is it a pre-requisite to wear only canvas sneakers and carry a cloth bag when participating in a PETA demonstration against the wearing of fur? I mean, after all leather was the skin on a cow at some time.
