If they want everyone to eat a vegetarian diet, it's going to take more plants to feed all those people. This (surprise, surprise) will require more agricultural land, which will displace wildlife. The displaced wildlife will be susceptible to starvation and disease and, ultimately, slow, painful deaths.<BR/><BR/>[sarcasm]Sounds like an ethical way to treat animals to me.[/sarcasm]<BR/><BR/>Personally, I'm a big supporter of PETA (People who Eat Tasty Animals)Meandering Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00464355148386507875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8316278384361358801.post-41860375174417741092008-08-09T15:39:00.000-05:002008-08-09T15:39:00.000-05:00What PETA did was ask the Daily Graphic to run the...What PETA did was ask the Daily Graphic to run the ad, and then before the paper could reply, proceeded to inform every other media outlet what they were trying to do. Brilliant really, because seeing as I hail from Portage and know the circulation of the Daily Graphic is not very big (town itself has about 13,000 people), PETA ensured that their ad garnered national, if not international, coverage, compared to who would have seen it in the paper itself.<BR/><BR/>In the end though, they are receiving only extremely negative attention, and may have lost tacit support they already had. I hope so, anyway.

When you think about it and take the whole PETA arguement to its logical end, the whole world according to them would be much better off if the entire human species underwent some sort of mass euthanasia.<BR/><BR/>For once then, I agree with PETA. They SHOULD take their arguements to their logical end, starting with themselves. This would not only help their own cause but would ensure that normal everyday folks no longer have to endure this hate groups ignorance, arrogance and outright idiocy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8316278384361358801.post-24978525700181863572008-08-07T08:46:00.000-05:002008-08-07T08:46:00.000-05:00For whatever reason, the guys at PETA have decided...For whatever reason, the guys at PETA have decided that they can get their message across best when they're assholes.<BR/><BR/>There's no way they thought the local paper would run that ad. Strictly from a business perspective, the backlash against the paper would have bankrupted the publisher. They're just doing this to be jerks.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17013847036123410760noreply@blogger.com
