All of this I know from vegan/PETA people I've met, but I've never asked about the bee sting thing. I know they don't have a problem with a death that happens in the natural order of things, and I suspect that bee stings would fall under that category (although by the same token they'd go out of their way to not piss off a bee).

If they care about the honeybees that are abused to pollinate many crops, what is there left to eat?

Sorry, but if you take veganism to it's 'logical' conclusion, it becomes completely untenable. And, yes, I think PETA is run by idiots. I don't understand why seemingly (I guess "seemingly" explains it) intelligent celebrities do ads for PETA. I wouldn't touch that stinking pile of an organization with a 10 foot pole.

Steps off soapbox...
