 "Get peta at your farm. They'll fight off the bastards if they try to take your sheep," a fervent sheep lover from Massachusetts told me?repeatedly.
Others suggested moving them in the middle of the night across the Canadian border, or, one of my favorites, donate them to the Belgian royal family. The strangest show of support came one night around 10:00. There was a knock on the door, and in walked a middle-aged man wearing a bright orange construction hat. He warmly shook our hands and said he had been following our story closely and wanted to help.

 "For example, the peta (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) campaign "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" featured fur-eschewing supermodels who were—you guessed it—naked.
¦ Celebrities doing unusual things, such as actor Woody Harrelson scaling the Golden

 "There are notable exceptions, however, including some of PETA's campaigns, which in my opinion can be quite harsh and needlessly judgmental.) Rather, they seek government policies and corporate practices that make it easier for people to make healthier food choices.
Fighting Back: Exposing CCF's Hypocrisy
Another useful way to neutralize CCF's the-sky-is-falling hysteria about repressive food police is to expose its rampant hypocrisy. Fortunately, you'll find a veritable gold mine of material from the group itself."- Michele Simon, Appetite for Profit: How the Food Industry Undermines Our Health and How to Fight Back (Get the book.) "PCRM and peta just also happen to subscribe to the scientifically supported view that vegetarian diets are healthier than meat-centered ones. In CCF's myth-making, this scientific verdict on human nutrition is yet another pesky fact that it's prepared to ignore in the interest of smearing and marginalizing food-industry critics. Why engage in serious debate on the merits of the issue when name-calling is so much easier? Fighting Back: Dispelling CCF's Myths Once you understand the myths and assumptions behind CCF's worldview, it's rather easy to develop convincing counterarguments." - Michele Simon, Appetite for Profit: How the Food Industry Undermines Our Health and How to Fight Back (Get the book.) |

History
The plant was brought to Europe during the early colonial period and was propagated in the botanical garden of Madrid, which was constructed specifically for the cultivation and distribution of plants from the New World."- Christian Ratsch, The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants: Ethnopharmacology and Its Applications (Get the book.) |
 "Students' concerns about animal welfare were dismissed by the professor with "Don't go peta on me" (PETA being the animal-rights direct-action group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). "The industrial farm is said to have been patterned on the factory production line," writes Wendell Berry "In practice, it looks more like a concentration camp."1
Where the meat comes from and how the animals lived are factors that figure into my eating decisions. I am grateful to be meeting farmers everywhere who are talking about the ethics that guide their animal raising and slaughtering practices."- Sandor Ellix Katz, The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved (Get the book.) |
 "Applauding these steps, peta declared a one-year moratorium on the campaign against the company.
These were significant steps, and they were important. But Ronald McDonald was still some distance from deserving a halo over his bright orange wig. None of the proposed changes, even if fully implemented, would bring the companv up to the basic standards that were already in place in Europe.
Not ones to rest on their laurels, peta publicly thanked McDonald's, and proceeded in 2001 to launch a campaign to compel Burger King to institute the same improvements McDonald's now had in place."- John Robbins, Food Revolution: How your diet can help save your life and our world (Get the book.) "Despite continual pronouncements from McDonald's about their commitment to animal welfare, peta noted, the corporation was still serving the flesh and eggs of animals whose lives were characterized by abject misery, and the hamburger chain still had no mechanism in place to penalize slaughterhouses that consistently skin and dismember conscious animals. Eleven months later, after peta had conducted more than 400 demonstrations in 23 countries, McDonald's finally budged." - John Robbins, Food Revolution: How your diet can help save your life and our world (Get the book.) "Finally, on August 12, 1999, peta had had enough. In a letter to McDonald's new CEO expressing the organization's frustration, peta wrote, "Two years of negotiations with McDonald's have proved that you care not one whit about the animals who are raised and killed for your restaurants. We are disappointed and saddened that McDonald's public pronouncements about commitment to animal welfare are nothing more than so much public relations. To date, McDonald's has not even attempted to require slaughterhouses to meet humane standards of slaughter as defined by the USDA." - John Robbins, Food Revolution: How your diet can help save your life and our world (Get the book.) "But rather than refer these offers to someone with the authority to change policies and procedures, McDonald's assigned the entire issue of animal welfare and its discussions with peta to the head of its public relations department. For two years, peta engaged in a series of frustrating discussions and negotiations with McDonald's." - John Robbins, Food Revolution: How your diet can help save your life and our world (Get the book.) |
 "I myself am a believer in animal rights, am a card-carrying member of peta, and understand your feelings profoundly. But if you're doing it for health reasons, I urge you to rethink your position. Most people do better with some animal foods, and some people do a lot better on a lot of animal foods. Maybe one way to reconcile this for yourself is to patronize only those who sell meat from animals that have not been factory-farmed, have been organically raised, and have had a good and happy life. Just something to think about.
