Some people might know my eternal hatred for PETA (People for Exaggeratedly Elite Treatment of Animals), and the way they attempt to disrupt the lives of normal people. I am sure everyone to some degree dislikes Peta's actions at some point or another. Even I generally wont be pissed if they keep their hippie protests and black paint splashing limited to Japanese Whalers or stuff (do they actually go there? because that sounds like something that actually matters). What really makes me go "palm in face" is when they show up in places on the interweb like so: (see the comments)

I respect that you have your damn opinions (who doesnt?), but dont spoil people's moods! I was trying to enjoy the furry and happy dog's picture and this damn hippie comes in and spams me with his/her website. Nevertheless they are probably just raising awareness for their stupid cause. What I hate is they just assume that the only way animals are ever happy is if they are free in the wild and live long lives! Wrong wrong very wrong! In the case of dogs, they have practically co-evolved with humans. In fact, humans have affected their evolution so much that they probably exist as they do today, due to humans. All of us know this right? In the wild they dont live a quarter of what they do in captivity. Besides their death is often brutal and certainly more painful than what humans might cause.
Speaking of humans killing animals, I can understand when Peta protests fur. With all the artificial materials available today, who needs actual fur? And I am all for the actresses/models going nude for that (Yes Eva Mendes, I would also prefer it if you went naked rather than wearing fur, or cotton, or nylon...). But I dont understand when they promote being vegetarian or worse, vegan. Being from India, I know well how vegetarianism is good and economical. But the concept of 'vegan' is the most fake and ostentatious thing I have ever heard! What I find even more annoying is that some people think Indians are vegan! Do they have any idea how many kinds of milk products and foods we have in India? I love The Simpsons and I can accept some bloopers they have while portraying Apu (eg. he has a masters degree in something and he is working at a convenience store?). But when they portrayed him as vegan, I was like "That is so wrong! You dont know anything about Indians do you?".
But my opinions aside, biologically speaking, humans are more suitable to be meat eaters. Early humans were scavengers but once the stone tool industries took off and man developed advanced weapons, he was the apex predator. If we primarily ate plants, our dental anatomy would be much different. Rearing animals for food started when man was still living in caves. This just shows that how illogical the concept of veganism is. Your going against evolution (thats my way of saying 'your going against god').
All said and done, I bear no ill will against vegetarians (maybe a little ill will against vegans because I find that so pretentious and condescending). I just prefer that they eat or not eat whatever they feel ok or not ok. Just dont impose your views on us who think some animals are quite tasty (mmm..steak...*slurp*). If they think that all people who eat meat and wear leather are uneducated rednecks (and thats what they seem to think); bitch please!
