PETA

Recently I’ve become acutely aware of the rights of animals. I don’t know what happened, but suddenly I’ve realized that a lot of what happens to animals is just wrong.
It started off with my looking at healthy choices for food. I’ve nearly cut out dairy from my diet (though I’m still eating cheese, and not much at that). Meat wasn’t far behind. You certainly get more than enough protein from plant sources. Fact is, Americans eat too much protein, causing calcium depletion, an increased strain on the kidneys and a multitude of other ill effects.
So now I’ve been browsing the PETA website, finding all sorts of interesting film clips, like this little gem. Proof positive that mankind is truly evil. Jennifer Lopez aparently has a line of wear that has a lot of fur. I didn’t like her much before, and I like her less now.
What about baby seals? Cute, adorable baby seals. let’s club some! Just bash in their little heads.
Even Sarah has gotten into the game. Ever the one for a steak, a roast beef sandwich, or KFC, a lot of our thinking has changed rapidly.
If you’ve ever thought about becoming a vegetarian, there’s never been a better time! PETA has a free ‘vegetarian starter kit‘ that contains some literature (along with some tasty recipes) and a short DVD containing PETA TV commercials, a short video detailing ten reasons why becoming a vegetarian is a good idea, and one other thing (which I forget, I haven’t watched the whole thing yet).
