You have to hand it to PETA: It doesn’t miss any chance to promote the animal rights agenda. It is now warning Al Gore that he will be considered a hypocrite if he doesn’t stop eating meat because of the purported contribution cow flatulence and other animal wastes purportedly make to the purported problem of human-induced global warming.
Of course, if vegetarianism somehow caused global warming, PETA wouldn’t care. It doesn’t want anyone eating meat because of its “rat is a pig is a dog is a boy” ideology, not due to genuine environmental concerns. PETA’s commitment to the fight against global warming is just so much grandstanding—which, it must be admitted, PETA is better at than any other advocacy group in the world
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
