Well, she's a pollo-vegetarian I guess. Hey, her ignorance will at least save SOME animals.

The interviewer is great!! She is really funny

That stupid expression on the model's face is scary. When these girls start to put a little age on them, their lives slide into oblivion.

And she clearly hasn't got the brains to do anything productive with her life when that happens.

Meanwhile, the woman who is announcing will be a media star.

Funny.

No such thing as a dumb vegetarian! ..But she clearly isn't a vegetarian!

go on, its ok to laugh

also...

What is peta's stance on dog food? animals are killed for it, and protein substitutes are also manufactured from (guess what?!) dead animals. where does peta draw the line? is it okay for a cow to die so a cuddly little puppy can have its science diet? dogs are carnivores, they cant change that. how would you like it you were forced to completely change your diet? what is peta's stance on dog food?

"what is peta's stance on dog food?"

Don't keep dogs. Pretty simple really.

K is right, this individual is not a vegetarian. But, she sure does give blondes a bad name! :))) (it's okay for me to say that, as I am blonde too - LOL)

They make vegetarian/vegan pet foods.

But, how many peta members keep pets and rave about how cute and cuddly they are?

Posted by: Larry Buck | April 11, 2007 11:33 AM

Larry, I've always found it faintly ridiculous when a meat-eater -- confronted with the horrors that he is supporting by refusing to acknowledge the torture involved in industrialized farming -- tries to win points off vegetarians by asking them nitpicking questions about what they feed their dog, or whether they kill mosquitos.

These are good questions, and they ought to be debated seriously, but in my opinion you have to earn the right to ask them if you want to have any credibility.

Posted by: Jacko | April 11, 2007 11:41 AM

Excellent point, Jacko.

But I must say, Larry, I've enjoyed reading your posts so far... your humor is a refreshing change from so much of the hostility that comes from some (on both sides) who post here. It's sometimes hard to tell where you actually stand on a given issue... which is a good thing.

So while I do agree with Jacko in most cases, I'm definitely more inclined to discuss the issues with someone like you, who seems rational and open to intelligent debate, than with those who are so defensive about--and insecure in--their own actions or beliefs that they can't handle being challenged on them.

But it takes all kinds, I guess...

PETA calling a woman dumb. What a shocker.

I read your polite response to the women's group who objected to your unrelenting sexism.

You were very kind but said that you needed the shock value to raise money and grab attention.

How about saving animals, does that matter to you? Because you could reach thousands if not millions more people if you classed it up a bit and weren't so cruel to your fellow human beings.

It's clear you are an extremely successful, talented and creative group of individuals.

You may be the only people actively saving lobsters, fish and other underdogs of the animal world who are tortured and disrespected as fellow creatures of the earth.

This would earn y'all amazing karma if you weren't so tacky and mean in public. No more bloody Canadian flags, no more sexism, no more telling people to laugh at broken bones.

It's 2007, PETA. Put on a new face and save millions more lives by announcing your new, progressive, cool and fair campaign.

All we can do is to be kind...to explain the difference. I have so many friend who after I explain I dont eat animals, ask if I eat fish...people confuse birds and fish and mammals...if you ask them if a fish is an animal or a plant or mineral, then they get it...be kind, patient...this is what helps people grasp what we are talking about...riducule wins no one.

It us the humans, who are doing the barbaric things to the animals.

Who will speak up for the animals that are skinned and boiled alive?

Reality is reality and the bloody canadian flag (thankfully) is not getting world-famous.

Whether or not you approve me or not that Maya post on 4/12/07 gave PETA some excellent advice. There are many of us who would like to participate in PETA but do not. Your public image is horrible!

Education is the key to defining what an animal is or
isn't. It isn't sexiest to
say this girl is dumb, but
a better word would be ignorant. No animal should
be killed for human consumption--as to our pets--
is vegetarian food giving them
the protein they need? If it
is, I'm on board--cats are
difficult--they are very picky
so I don't know that my cats
will ever go veggie, but my dogs are not so picky and do
like veggies and pasta--please
let me know.

Hey, I'm glad Maya brought up the issue on the tacky advertising stuff you occasionally do. I whole heartedly support Peta, and I am a member, and I profess to others the great stuff that Peta does. But I wish you would stop the crass publicity stuff. Like when that ad of women's milk was introduced for the Super Bowl, or the "sexiest" vegan, or whatever. I don't think it helps at all. I'd like to see it kept to animal issues, and not try to offend even its own members. Some of the stupid "light hearted" stuff does offend. I love the stuff Peta does for animals, that is why I am a member. The crudeness that is occasionally displayed I just tolerate till hopefully Peta gets a more dignified group of people working for the cause. Certainly I am only talking about a few. I wish those few would stop thinking crass is funny or effective. Its enough to drive even its own members away.
