We have asked one of our members who is a committed animal rights sympathizer 
to give us a comprehensive source to guide our decisions. Without a guide to 
best practices or even possible practices, we have waffled on all issues 
depending on who is raising the loudest voice this week. This is not 
satisfying. We never know when there will be new objection and can't be sure we 
have covered all the bases in material choices for furniture, for example.

With a source that everyone will accept as a norm, then individuals can make 
their own decisions but they will vary from a good standard rather than a lower 
standard.
