I'm glad to see that the Motorcycle "club" was so hospitable to the animal activists even after there rude behavior.

Next thing I know he forced me to ride on the back of his motorcycle all day, and would not let me off, because his girl friend was out of town and I was almost a woman.

Aw, he was just lonely.

I was once accosted by a militant vegan friend of a friend for wearing a leather jacket. Word for word:

Him: "Do you have any idea how many cattle had to die so that you could wear that jacket?"

Me: "None. They died to be my dinner. The jacket is just me using the leftovers."

Him: <stunned silence>

Historically, the meat industry made profits on the byproducts (leather, bones, hair, etc). Now the profits come through the heavy subsidies in the bipartisan farm bills. Regardless, the typical synthetic (p)leather is inferior and too often made in sweatshops. There's no way to be completely consistent in a pro-animal, anti-leather way (assuming you consider human suffering to matter at all). I don't eat animals, but I do wear their chemically treated skins and am totally fine with that.

Him: "Do you have any idea how many cattle had to die so that you could wear that jacket?"

Me: "None. They died to be my dinner. The jacket is just me using the leftovers."

Also acceptable: "less than one - cows are big"
