Seal Slaughter

I can understand why people don't care about killing cows... People don't make the connection that the burgers you buy at McDonald's actually came from a cow. And they come with toys. But who can support killing poor baby seals?

I think our culture is pretty messed up as far as our awareness of food. I've met kids who think that carrots are little bullet-shaped things that come in plastic bags. They didn't know what a real, whole carrot was when I showed it to them. They also think that meat comes wrapped up in paper from McDonalds. They don't understand that it came from a cow that was killed, much less the conditions under which these animals live and die.

PETA has a site about the Seal Slaughter. I'm going to ignore the other issues for now.

Kentucky Fried Cruelty

From the Onion... KFC no longer allowed to use the word "eat" in their advertisements.

WASHINGTON—Issuing a condemnation of Kentucky Fried Chicken's recent Boneless Variety Bucket commercials, the Federal Communications Commission on Tuesday fined the fast food giant $600,000 and ordered it to discontinue all broadcasts containing "false and misleading suggestions" that its heated chicken products are intended for consumption.

In keeping with the false advertising subchapter of the FTC Act of 1914, the fast food chain is prohibited from setting its commercials in a kitchen, dining room, or any space generally associated with the act of eating. It is also not permitted to show people chewing, rubbing their stomachs contentedly, or exiting a bathroom stall with a look of relief that suggests they have digested the product. Utensils of any kind are also expressly forbidden, even when held by an animated character.

See PETA's campaign against KFC.

Why I Don't Eat Fast Food

I wouldn't eat fast food anyway, and I don't eat meat, but this is just another reason for people to avoid these places.

Ben & Jerry's with Breast Milk

PETA, a pet cause of mine, has sent a letter to Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream suggesting that they switch from cow milk to people milk. Apparently the idea was come up with by a Swiss guy, which makes sense because the Swiss consume a LOT of dairy and they are also extraordinarily smart and forward thinking.
