Let’s review:
- August 2007: Jenna Jameson proves it’s possible to value your self-esteem lower than the average hard-core porn “actress”by fronting for the animal-rights group PETA in its anti-chicken campaign
- October 2007: Jenna, not quite clear on what PETA stands for, helps her fisherman boyfriend hook and land “5 mahi, 1 yellowfin, and [an] 82-lb wahoo”
- March 10, 2008: Jenna tries again to cash in on the promise of free publicity from PETA, and becomes the face of the group’s anti-leather “pleather yourself” campaign
- March 20, 2008: Jenna is so full of the PETA vibe that she tries to recruit Charlize Theron to do a naked photo shoot for the group
- May 1, 2008: Conveniently forgetting that whole “anti-leather” thing, Jenna wears a leather “Members Only” bomber jacket to a trendy London nightclub
Which brings us to this past weekend. On Friday night at the Area nightclub in Los Angeles, Jenna showed up at a pre-Emmy-nominations party wearing (drumroll please… )
… well … you’d better have a look for yourself.
Those shoes are YSL. Woven leather. From dead cows. Women I trust who buy such things tell me they’re worth the $760. Personally, I’d opt for the riding lawn mower.
And I’m not commenting on the belt or the braided headband thingy. I’m assuming they’re leather, but I’m not about to look through the sale bins at Loehmann’s to confirm who makes ‘em.
Hat tip to CelebSlam for the photos, and to Deceiver addict Katherine for the tip!

It really does appear that someone’s trying a little bit too hard.
I think this is her trying to be “deep”, something that all of the washed-up and irrelevant do in Hollywood by hopping aboard the moralistic bandwagon.
If this isn’t an identity crisis, I don’t know what is. Someone’s obviously trying to create a new image for herself as some kind of activist because she’s ashamed of her past.
Jenna, don’t go there. Just give up. Put some clothes on and shut the f*ck up.
She wore that outfit? On purpose? I thought pornstars were supposed to be hot. I gotta admit I love women in heels. Leather or not.
Wow, what a cow.
Seems like this website has an agenda against PETA. It’s a classic example of attacking the messenger because you can’t win the argument. The fact is, animal rights makes sense. Meat is not good for people–plenty of better ways to get protein–and the pollution from animal waste is incredibly destructive. And those comments about Jenna Jameson. You call her a skank and tell her to shut the F… up and claim moral superiority. Give me a break.
We have an agenda against hypocrites, yes.
PETA isn’t about animal rights. PETA is about publicity, schmoozing celebrities, double standards, and raising money they use for outrageous advertising campaigns that only gain more publicity. Eating meat is a natural, human thing to do and if someone chooses not to than fine. But don’t shove it down my throat and tell me it has anything to do with animal rights. PETA should take a page from the ASPCA and focus on actually helping animals who need it rather than spending thier time shaking fingers at people who haven’t done an ad for them and wrapping people in plastic on the street. They do nothing for animal rights, in fact, I think they do more harm than good.
glad you guys used the picture and we can get the word out about what a FOOL this woman is! guess that PETA thing was just a big ol sham for her!
whether you like or agree with PETA or not, the brutality and torture animals must endure especially factory farmed animals is a reality. if you don’t believe me have a look at the videos-documented videos and undercover work..if you don’t want to go to PETA’s site there are many others for example MercyforAnimals.com and Compassion for Animals..I find it seems to be those people who really don’t take the time or don’t want to know that seem to blast or mock those people or animal rights groups that do what they can to bring attention to the issue for example PETA. You are right, there are some celebrities for example Cindy Crawford and Naomi Watts, who used *ETA simply for the coverage it would bring them. As for Pamela Anderson. she is truly deoted and sincere to the cause of making life better for animals and she admitted on Larry King a few years ago that she had a car with leather seat. Please don’t let one person or issue you disagree with block you from understanding the big picture -animals are suffering terribly in factory farms, long haul transport..on three foot chains in your neighbors backyard back yard… don’t let ignorance make your choice for you find out what all the fuss is about!!!
“If you guys think PETA stinks, you should watch some of PETA’s propaganda…”
Teresa, calling PETA out on their hypocrisy is not the same as promoting animal cruelty. We’re not out there killing dogs or torturing kittens for play, but PETA members have been exposed to do exactly that. Being anti-PETA does not translate to being pro-cruelty, although they’d like you to think it does.
Wow so…I hate PETA because this one time I went to a show in NYC and PETA was there handing children these postcards with a woman slaughtering a rabbit on it (it was a cartoon of a 50’s housewife with a butcher knife and a few bleeding, crying bunnies) with the caption that said “How many animals has your mommy killed for her coat?”
But that translates to me being pro-animal cruelty?
Or the fact that they compare the suffering of chickens to the suffering of Jews during the holocaust?
Penn Jillette once said “You want passion and truth? Okay. Teller and I would personally kill every chimp in the world, with our bare hands, to save one street junkie with AIDS.”
People who can’t see the forest for the trees make me sick.
Perhaps we need a little review of what propaganda is. It’s when deceptive or inaccurate information is disseminated to deceive people. PETA may have a few people who wear leather shoes or drive a car with leather, but their mission is to stop the incredible abuse of living, sentient beings and their campaign is bolstered by much of the medical field. Eating meat is as “natural” as ingesting rat poison. Have you looked at the steroids and anti-biotics that go with your burger? I guess it’s your decision to eat crap if you choose, but other living beings shouldn’t have to suffer because of your arrogant stupidity. And that’s not propaganda. Just ask your doctor if he/she suggests that you eat MORE meat. The medical field suggests little to none. Check the American Association of Dieticians. They recommend a veggie diet.
Are they all propagandists too? You can continue to attack PETA but that is only because you can’t win the debate about eating meat–when losing an argument revert to perosnal attacks. You know it’s cruel and unjustified and you choose to attack PETA rather than deal with the flaws in your arguments. The environment, your cholesterol, and the lives of animals would improve if we ate less meat. Get educated, folks.
Thank you for providing yet another example.
Ummm… There’s no such organization. I think you need a little more red-meat protein. It helps the brain function, you know …
I think you should go back to “Teaching for the Radical Fringe” at Mott Community College.
Just my two cents…
Hey, Simon:
How is undercover video propaganda? There is another word for it–evidence! You seem to think that the ugly truth about factory farming is propganda because it exposes a truth you’re having trouble accepting.
Still waiting for a worthy refutation to the overwhelming health and environmental problems involved with eating meat. Mr. Oversneer is right. The name of the organization is the American Dietetic Association. I mixed a few words around but the more important fact remains: this group of professionals advocates a vegetarian diet.
Again, is that propaganda? And what exactly is your definition of propaganda? Is it anything that contradicts your position, despite the evidence? You guys can contiunue to take cheap shots at celebrities but eventually you’ll have to offer some evidence–rather than juvenile remarks about Jenna Jameson–to defend your position. PETA is the least of your problems.
Yes, I will continue to teach and publish. Thanks for the plug on one of my many publications.
I quit red meat long ago and my cholesterol level went way down. You should really try it. It helps with obesity and stimulates logical thinking since the arteries are not so clogged.
Guess we’re just not rebels like you, Greg.
If you don’t want to eat meat, all the better for you, but what we object to is people like PETA and obviously yourself telling us WE can’t eat meat. A Democracy means that everyone has the right to speak out, but that also means we have the right to say you are full of crap.
Greg, I don’t care how much your logical thinking has been stimulated buddy, you’re still in the vast scientific minority. Ask a doctor, dietitian, researcher, and they’ll tell you that a BALANCED diet is always preferable to any extreme. Human beings are omnivores, and our bodies metabolize most efficiently when breaking down a variety of foodstuffs.
My stepfather is an MD that works for a medical statistics company in the UK, and when I was in college I made extra money helping him input tens of thousands of lines of stats into programs that then spit out those growth charts, obesity charts, ect. that your doc pulls out to show you where you are on the spectrum.
Now let me tell you a little story. About the third year I was doing this, we did a workup we’d never done before. For like a decade, animal rights organizations were SCREAMING that we didn’t offer health stats for children (0 - 12 years old) raised without access to animal products (cow’s milk, meat, ect.) because we were currently providing two separate sheets, one for breastfed children, one for formula fed. They were absolutely convinced that this data, if provided, would cause women to keep their kids off animal products, and they were also convinced they would find a connection between meat and dairy and childhood obesity.
We made them hold off until they had compiled enough data to actually draw some conclusions, and with much fanfare, we added their results to the new tables. They then spent the next two years claiming that we had fudged the numbers, despite the fact THEY provided them to us. Why? Because it proved almost the opposite of what they wanted it to.
The healthiest children in the study were those whom were breastfed in early childhood, and then switched to cow’s milk for their adolescence. There was NO correlation between consumption of meat and dairy and childhood obesity. In fact, our stats were some of the first to shift the focus off of dairy and on to soda and carbohydrates.
Children deprived of meat and dairy products had on average 7-10% less muscle density, and we saw nearly the same thing in bone density. Now I’m not a doctor, but even I can tell you that’s not good for a developing body.
Bottom line: The health argument for a vegetarian/vegan diet is dubious at best, especially when it comes to children and young adults. You can come on to as many sites as you want, and continue to try to tell us all that we’re ignorant and have to pick on the messengers, but the whole free world is using OUR numbers, not the few doctors they can find to advocate this crap. Call me when the surgeon general decides to yank meat from the food pyramid, because until then, your argument is in the minority.
Gee, that sounds like a worthy refutation if I ever heard one.
Greg, you’re missing the point. There are lots of good reasons to eat less meat. The fact that PETA repeats some of them does not keep PETA from being a bunch of hypocritical extremists. People aren’t picking on PETA’s hypocrisy because they can’t respond to PETA’s arguments. They’re picking on PETA’s hypocrisy because it’s so obnoxious. In other words, I don’t think anyone’s saying “I don’t like PETA’s arguments, but I can’t refute them, so I’ll just call PETA a bunch of jerks instead.” Nor do I think anyone’s saying “PETA are a bunch of jerks, therefore their arguments must be wrong” (though there are probably some saying “PETA are so jerky I can’t stand them long enough to find out what their argument is,” which is not the same thing). I think they’re just saying PETA are a bunch of jerks, period.
(For the record, I’m not vegetarian, though I have cut way back on meat and other animal products, for reasons that I already knew about long before PETA came along and started being so shrill about it.)
So then random person, do you not think to compassionate animal lovers, rabid pro-unregulated slaughterhouse meat gorgers aren’t even bigger shrills?
Because the bottom line, after all that babble you wrote, you effectively by way of action, agree with PETA’s argument on the health ramifications of eating a majority meat diet.
Yeah, that was really shrill of me there to provide a reasoned, factual, analytical argument. Obviously not eating meat has elevated your sensibilities beyond the furthest hopes of my puny intellect to comprehend.
Those “rabid pro-unregulated slaughterhouse meat gorgers” (nice term by the way, but you might try looking up gorgers, cause I don’t think it’s a word. Gorging. Yes. Gorged. Yes. Gorgers. No. Bad Doggy, no biscuit) are usually pretty quiet about it. In fact, we just want people like you to shut the hell up and let us eat our steak in peace.
If what you gleaned from my post was that it in any way agrees with your fanatical, short-sighted, and scientifically unjustified b.s…. please, read it again. Yeah, eating too much meat is bad for you. Eating too much anything is bad for you. But my point, and the point of nearly every doctor in the world, is that it’s LESS HEALTHY to eat NO meat at all. It’s even worse to cut out all animal products in general.
And will you people stop using ‘compassionate’ to describe yourselves? Seriously, you’re no more compassionate than the rest of us. I know a lot of doctors that save lives every day and go home to eat a burger, I suppose they’re all uncaring barbarians? We have pets, we love them very much, and take fantastic care of them. We just don’t have a hyper-active sense of guilt about looking down at the world from the top of the food chain.
“we are usually pretty quiet about it. In fact, we just want people like you to shut the hell up and let us eat our steak in peace.”
Are you kidding me, Snott? You are the loudest and most obnoxious on this site.
And ‘quiet’ is the most ridiculous statement you have made thus far.
You cannot turn on a TV, radio or see a print add or a 25ft billboard that doesn’t bombard us with eating burger meat and dairy products. No, YOU people PLEASE SHUT THE HELL UP. You can’t walk down the street without 3 steak houses all begging to feed you mega sized steaks and 3 pounds of ribs. Do you think it’s because they want to feed you health food?
You have been suckered by the ‘milk does a body good’ campaign which was originally a government induced quackery spin to suppliment the subsidized farmers.(hello Farm Bill).
Please, if you want to argue that meat and dairy is fantastic for us and in no way causes health problems, consider the source of your information. By all means, eat and drink away, just spare me the BS.
There is this great myth that PETA perpetuates about meat eaters being fatter on average then vegetarians. But if you go and look at the Quorn, Linda McCartney and other veg option foods, they have far more calories than their lean meat counterparts. I have several vegetarian friends and they outweigh me, a meat eater, by at least 20 pounds each. Hrm….
Right Chronic Malanga, I mean, it’s not like the obesity epedemic this country faces consists of meat eaters, right. They are vegans, right? I know, I know, it’s the carbs and sugar, you say. Right.
Nah, see you can’t have it both ways. You say vegans are fatter and meat eaters are not. Let’s so a poll on the obese and see how many are vegans and how many are meat eaters. I’m just saying…
Well, gee, I have a killer bod, and am in great shape. I eat meat. So does the majority of the world. I think your argument is pretty weak. Read some labels sometime.
And yeah, it’s the carbs and sugars. But you are too blind to that fact because you have an agenda to push. You are a sad little person. Denial is not just a river in Egypt, y’know.
Oh, AL, and because your firm grip on reality is astounding, let me ask you this. If you are so convinced that the obesity epidemic is caused by eating meat, then why wasn’t it there 50 years ago, or even 30 years ago? Seriously, AL, are you so brainwashed to your little crusade that you would turn a blind eye to the facts? 30 and 50 years ago, there were fewer processed foods. Single portions in restaurants were not enough to feed the entire family as they are now in American restaurants. People have been eating meat since they first learned how darn tasty it is, yet it took all this time for eating meat to catch up to humanity? Please, let me have some of what you are smoking because it’s got to be some pretty good stuff for you to actually pull that out of your ruffage producing bum.
I have yet to meet a thin vegetarian. The fattest of them all was a vegan I worked with. All that running around in an animal emergency clinic didn’t do her any good because her food choices were so limited she ate nothing but processed junk, as many veggie-types do. Are all of them fat? No, but it’s a common trap. A balanced diet that includes lean meats, wholegrain bread, and lots of fruit and veg is the way to truly be healthy. I know because I was at my fattest and unhealthiest as a vegetarian, and I have always avoided junk food and exercised. My doctor, backing his information up with actual scientific research, made it very clear to me that I needed to abandon the idea of being a vegetarian. It took a while because I thought I had been doing myself a favor, but you know what, in the end, when I had the first bit of juicy lamb topped off with mint sauce, I never looked back, and I am looking and feeling better than ever. So, you’re preaching to the wrong choir, honey.
Hold up CM…”Denial is not just a river in Egypt, y’know”
Are you serious with your tired 80’s cliches? :BLINK:
Moving right along…I really don’t know why you feel so comfortable calling me bitc*y when clearly you’re quite the one in your posts. I never said that meat makes you fat - YOU SAID vegans were fat. I said well, since the majority of the obesity epedemic folks are meat eaters, then it stands to reason, does it not. We have to look at the numbers.
So either shut up with your skewered theory that vegans are fat and meat eaters are not, or take a poll.
As for your diet…how interesting that you use a vegan diet as the basis for yours (you seem to throw in a bit of meat, but are convinced that is what keep your “body a killer”. :rolling my eyes:
Let’s do this. Let’s take two people and feed them nothing but a meat diet - your stance, which is swine, cow, goat, buffalo, venison, chicken/turkey/goose/quail horse, dog, cat and rat….
And mine, a diet rich in nuts seeds, grains, salads, vegetables, local and exotic fruits, beans, tempeh, sesame, avacados, root vegetables, olives…
And see who feels better after 2 weeks of nothing but that.
BTW, I keep hearing from a lot of meat-gorgers that they know alot of vegetarians. But…I thought the majority of humans are meat eaters. How is it that you know so many…and fat ones at that? Hmmmm.
Wow, I never said b*tchy in any of my posts, but if you think that calling me one in a roundabout way is clever, I’ll give you that, even though it was typically vicious of you. I admire my female dog and see nothing wrong with the word. I also didn’t say all vegans were fat, and I can quote what I said since you didn’t read it : “I have yet to meet a thin vegetarian… Are all of them fat? No, but it’s a common trap.”
Again, you miss the point. I eat meat each and every day. I wouldn’t eat JUST meat every day. Who does? That’s about as skewed as being a vegan health wise. Stop trying to be so clever. You aren’t.
I’m not here to prove that I have a great body. I know I do. I eat healthy food, and that healthy food includes meat. I am active, and I am healthy. Want my medical records, because I half expect you to ask for them now?
And of course, you act like no vegetarian would hang out with non vegetarians because you are coming at this from the point of view of a fanatic. I know more meat eaters, sure, so what is your point here? Oh yeah, nothing substantial. You are simply cherry picking statements that you think you can somehow refute because you have no substantial arguments for your nasty attitude toward people who don’t make the dietary choices you have. And hey, if the 80’s cliche is applicable, then there’s nothing wrong in using it, because it definitely is.
This isn’t the first time they hired a hypocrite… Does “Everything tastes better with bacon!” come to anyone’s mind? The actress (I believe she was one…) in question was found on a talk show with said statement just after being crowned PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian … Also one of the spokespeople… er… I dunno her name either (haha), but she actually put herself above the animals (shock!) by saying (words to the effect of), “Yes, I admit my medicine still has animal products in it, but I need my life for the animals.” when talking about her insulin shots. ‘Nuff said.
Yep — Here you go. There’s even a video!
The Internet is a wild and wooly place …
Animal Lover,
As far as “shoving meat down people’s throats, it’s not omnivores’ fault that people just happen to like McDonald’s and Ponderosa better and that vegetarian restaurants are less common and popular. What those billboards are doing, is merely advertising, which is truly no worse than what PETA does to get their “messages” across.
At its worst, I’ve maybe seen an advertisement poking light-hearted fun at vegetarians, which doesn’t even compare to the humiliation and hostility this “organization” you hide behind in regards to people who eat meat. Maybe, just maybe, one day when PETA stops tastelessly comparing people who eat meat to Nazis and Jeffrey Dahmer, more people will sympathize for you, but until then I am going to roll my eyes at your paranoid habit of reading far into things and reacting like a deluded martyr. Get off the cross.
Have you ever heard of doing unto others as they have done unto you? I know it’s, like, sooo outdated and stuff, but it goes a long way, especially when it comes to hiding behind extremist organizations such as PETA. For a bunch of people who have no qualms against the public ridicule of others, you seem to get offended very easily.
I say this a lot, but if you can’t handle the subtle effects of mainstream society and the government, you are screwed. Do you know how childish you sound? How old are you? Fourteen? Grow up.
And “everyone hates me because I’m a vegetarian” has been called over, and over, AND OVER, when in reality, vegetarianism has NOTHING to do with it. I have tons of vegetarian friends and their diet and lifestyle doesn’t affect my relationship, vice versa.
A majority dislike people like you is because you harbor an extreme position of fundamentalism. You are generally difficult to get along with because you are so one dimensional. You are by nature self-righteous, elite, and antisocial, so most functioning human beings can’t relate to you because you’re so idealistic and arrogant that it consumes your identity. THAT is why people can’t stand you.
Poor little oppressed you.
Christina X, you’ve done it again and I applaud you.
Funny how PETA can act so self righteous with a record of death like this, which I have pulled from petakillsanimals.com, yet I am a hypocrite for having invested five years of my life into saving the lives of animals because I eat meat. Interesting web site, by the way, and all these numbers are on public record, so before anyone wants to cry foul, check the facts first.For the record, a shelter not far from this particular PETA house of horror adopted out 75% of their strays in 2007 with no problem.
Year Received† Adopted Killed
2007 1,997 17 1,815
2006 3,061 12 2,981
Furthermore, if a vegan diet is so wonderful for children, why is it that one infant has died from it (parents are doing life now), and another 12 year old in Scotland has the spine of an 80 year old and a slower growth rate than children her own age who do eat meat? Look it up.
A grown up that chooses the vegan diet is perfectly welcome to do so at their own risk, but to do that to a child is abuse and neglect.
No one is knocking vegetarians and vegans if that’s what they choose. No one is forcing meat down anyone’s throat. However, it hardly takes a genius to know that human beings are omnivores by nature, and for a person to be truly healthy, they require a balanced diet that includes meat proteins. As someone mentioned in another post, if you have to supplement with vitamins, something is missing. Of course, PETA will say that every scientist and doctor out there is lying due to some paranoid agenda. Whatever. It’s your body, and I don’t really care what you put into it or not. Just don’t even think you can look down your nose at me or pretend to be some noble soul because you won’t eat an animal. You’re not noble, you’re not better, and you’re only hurting yourself.
In the end, organizations like PETA need to be exposed for what they are. Not just hypocrites, but terrorists and hindrances to progress, and because of Animal Lover and the blind fanaticism I have seen here, I am going to make it a pet project to do just that. It’s sad that someone could be so brainwashed into this form of thinking. It’s sad that they feel the need to be hostile without provocation as AL is. The us against them attitude is exactly what PETA endorses, and you know who else does that? Terrorists. PETA has no qualms about funding arsonists, bombers, and other criminals to do their dirty work. They would rather see diseases like AIDS and cancer take our loved ones in order to save a rat or a monkey from experimentation. Now, I am against most animal experimentation if it is for a frivolous cause, like Botox, but if killing 10,000 monkeys means saving one human life, so be it.
AL, you should learn a lesson from this. Maybe if you approached people respectfully with your radical views, someone might listen. It takes a radical to create a sensible moderate, though, and you’ve served your purpose well. I hope you are happy with yourself. You’ve turned a lot of people off of your brand of fanaticism. I know I’m proud of you for it.
Ah, thanks Oversneer, I didn’t even think of checking that site. Haha. Now if only I could find the article or news report on how a man got immobile by eating around 80 oranges a day and couldn’t understand why he was gaining weight. (”Oranges are good for you, aren’t they?”)
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again; if animals out in nature eat eachother, than it can’t be as wrong and unnatural as PETA thinks.

Love-mates Jenna Jameson and Tito Ortiz cuddled up in the corner of the lounge for their Kobe beef taste treats. Jenna and Tito were also seen enjoying drinks at the Halo Bar inside Planet Hollywood Resort’s Miracle Mile.
NICE TOES..
Wow, a former porn star that is a bubbleheaded hypocrite? NO, say it isn’t so! These spectacular cock-ups by PETA, semi-brainwashing fringe stars only to have them later implode onto a leather couch simply illustrates one of the things truly wrong with PETA. Theres is no intellectual, logical and reasoned argument, rather they depend on fawning emotional appeals to extract their pound of flesh. Sooner or later the emotional high wears off and the real world again laughs in PETA’s face as one of their D-list cult members wolfs down a Quarter Pounder with cheese while wearing a fur coat and leaving their Chihuahua in the car to suffocate. The fact that PETA would enlist a bored-out porn star to broadcast their gospel illustrates the overall intelligence of the PETA ruling party, their complete and utter disconnection with the real world and the true ethical foundation of this cult (or lack thereof). PETA is yet another cult of damaged souls who cling pathologically to the animal kingdom because man has failed them or they have failed man. No one understands them in the real world so they fabricate a Disney-based viewpoint of the animals as talking, feeling, engaging anthropomorphisms who will understand and love them as men (or women) never have and in return, they will *save* the little creatures from their cruel fate at the hands of the psychotic carnivores! If only someone had paid for a little counseling, then the world might be free of the absurdist theater that is PETA.
Animal rights is a radical position. . .
Some of us believe that it is radical to venture out into the backwoods of America in the autumn and kill harmless, sentient animals for “fun.”
Some of us think the obesity problem is tied to the growth of fast food restaurants in the 1960s–restaurants that are only now coming around to the notion that greasy meat might be a killer.
Some of us think it is kind of radical to eat animals that have been eating chicken feces–which is a documented supplement to their diet–read Mad Cowboy, and that have been injected with hormones and antibiotics.
PETA is radical much like the abolitionists were in the nineteenth century when a majority believed that slavery was sensible and that abolitionists were radicals. William Lloyd Garrison was pummeled in the streets of a northern city because he was such a radical.
I don’t really value stories of research done with someone’s dad. If it was so impressive, it was published. Let me see it.
Finally, you guys can hate PETA but you would all benefit from following their ideas about eating less or no meat. We are radical, only because our ideas are new and scare some people, which is why you revert to picking on Pam Anderson.
I guess we do push our views a little but I have plenty of friends who are omnivores and respect them. What I can’t respect is the people who don’t want to explore the issue but instead make silly remarks about PETA members. Discuss the issues and help yourself by eating less cholesterol laden meat.
I’m a PETA member and I love Jessica Simpsons’ chest. It’s her brains I have questions about. If meat is really a necessity than how do we explain the presence of millions of vegetarians who seem to have lower cholesterol and obesity rates? Eating meat is a luxury that causes incredible pain to animals that are, in many cases, smarter than Simpson and most of her boy-toys.
As for expeprimentation, I wonder why animals have to pay the price for human stupidity. We arrogantly and foolishly mess around and get AIDS and animals have to be injected with the virus to find a cure for our stupidity. There is no moral justification for this. We exploit animals because they are not able to fight back.
As for killing a thousand animals so one person can live, I value my loyal dog much more than the lying President who caused us 4000 lives because of a desire to start a war better than his daddy. It’s only arrogance that makes us think that we are better than animals. We are different–not better. Go visit your local fair, survey the crowd and tell me that these people are better than a trained dog. . .
Apparently animal protein also inhibits the urge to pontificate…
PAMELA ANDERSON doing stupid ads for PETA proves all this about dumb blondes
