PETA Sure Knows How to Make a Vegan Sound Crazy
Disclaimer: I know PETA does some fantastic work, like getting the footage from that Iowa pig farm a few days ago. This is not a tirade against PETA. It is simply a questioning of some of their methods.
Here is the title of the NBC article on PETA’s latest stunt: PETA Urges Ben & Jerry’s to Use Human Milk. You heard me, human milk. Now, I get that their point is to show how absurd it is that people drink the milk from another animals nipple – a food meant for their calves, not for humans. We might as well drink rat milk or dog milk, right? We vegans get their point, but I really don’t think the point is made clear to the general public. After all we live in a headline society. How many people look deeper. Sadly, not that many. I think PETA just comes off sounding batty. I don’t mind all of their stunts. I kind of like it when they slap around celebrities wearing fur. Trashley and Hairy Kate was very funny. But if there is a line, I think PETA tends to cross it. But I’ll give them one thing – they know how to make headlines, even if sometimes those headlines are far too absurd to really make a difference to anyone who isn’t already on the animal side.
