I don't want to get all political on you here, but I just found this video from the Onion that expresses my opinions on PETA quite well. I've been a vegetarian for years and I believe in and support animal rights 100%, but PETA will never earn my respect. I agree with their message, but not their execution. Dehumanizing and sexualizing women to grab attention is never okay. That said, I really hate the reactions to PETA ads that I read on feminist blogs, which are usually along the lines of, "fuck PETA I'm going to enjoy a massive steak now." I'm so tired of meat eaters cloaking their guilt of killing animals and supporting a harmful, inhumane system by glorifying food. It's not cute.
Also, why doesn't my spellcheck recognize the word "vegans?" Really?
I know, I sound like such a bleeding-heart hippy, don't I? I should go back to listening to The Fame Monster.
thank you. but don't be hatin' on us meat eaters.
