Ever wonder why people hate vegetarians? It's because of bullshit like this:

Crew members on the set of the [Paul McCartney]’s concert are up in arms because the staunch vegetarian has banned the eating of meat by anyone working on the tour.
...
According to another local report, the crew is also forbidden from wearing leather belts or shoes.

I have a lot of respect for animal rights activist. I know a surprising amount about them and I have a pretty good understanding of their position. It's when they, or any other activists for that matter, force their opinion and beliefs on others is when it's an issue. It's no different than religion: if you believe it, good for you. There are many valid points, but don't force it on to others. It only hurts, not helps the cause.
