What are your parents' opinions on animal rights?

My mom definitely sees non-human animals lower than human animals.
Vegetarianism:
My mom went without meat for a week or two once and has tried various vegan foods, such as vegan carrot cake, vegan eggplant parmigiana, Boca burgers, and I think also vegan pizza that I make every once in a while. However, once she was told by some stupid idiots at the YMCA when she was in a diet program thing up there about how meat alternatives are high in sodium, that was it. She went back to eating meat.
While she is okay with me being vegan, she does not at all get how I could find meat to be disgusting. She once even flipped out on me just for not putting some disgusting meat in the freezer for her. She also once got really nasty toward me when I didn't want steam or whatever it was from a murderburger to contaminate my veggie burger.
Maybe I'll add more to this when I don't feel like a zombie from being sleep deprived.

I had my mom go vegetarian with me when I first started, but I don't think she'll be so on board with going vegan when I do (soon! yay!). I know she feels for the Animal Rights movement, but I know she doesn't feel as strongly as I do. She called me crazy when I told her I support ALF.  About my dad, however... he hunts, eats meat, and cares less about it. I guess it's his perogative, and I know I'd never get him to change, but I don't like that when my mom and I cook and shop for groceries that we have to buy meat... I showed Meet Your Meat to my younger sister, and she cried and hid in her room all day. She could be, but she's so brainwashed that I have to wait until she matures to be able to talk any sense into her. (I've been using a lot of " " in this post.) Haha. |

My mom would probably do the same. Probably if I told her that they were considered "terrorists" and that I am pro- ALF, she'd be very watchful on what I do on the Internet xD. Well, maybe not, though.
How old is she?
