I grow weary of PETA’s antics. Now, they are attacking actress Jessica Simpson for wearing a T-shirt that read, “Real Girls Eat Meat.” From the story:
Yeah? Well, so is going vegan. PETA won’t tell you this, but I will: their vegan lifestyles also come at the expense of the deaths of countless animals. You see, mechanized plant farming for wheat, soy, and other vegan staples slaughters hundreds of millions of mice, rabbits, gophers, snakes, and other field animals. And then there is the chemical annihilation of rats and mice in silos and other grain and vegetable storage facilities. One study I found recounted how if all arable acreage in the USA were put to supporting veganism, 1.2 billion mice would be killed each year.Alistair Currie, a spokesman for Peta, said: “Jessica Simpson might have a right to wear what she wants, but she doesn’t have a right to eat what she wants—eating meat is about suffering and death.
This is the way of the world: No matter what diet you choose to follow from steak 7 days a week to vegan tofu specials, animals died that you might eat. If meat is murder, so is vegan. That’s the way it is and everything to the contrary is just noise.
I wrote a 1000-word piece on this today that goes into much more detail. (Yes, I know it’s Sunday! Just be glad your not Secondhand Smokette.) If and when it comes out, I’ll link it here. Oh, and in my book research I also just found out some interesting truths about fur trapping you also don’t read in PETA literature. Stay tuned.
