To start off this blog, I would like to say I AM a vegetarian. And PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is pretty crazy.
Vegetarianism;
FAQ’s
Why are you a vegetarian?
Moral reasons. That has a lot to do with it. I don’t want to be the cause of an animals cruel death. 660,000 are killed for meat every hour in the United States alone. Animals can feel pain, and I think it’s wrong to kill them for food if there are other things I can eat. Also, I was never a really big meat-eater, so it was easy to give it up.
What do you think of animals that eat meat?
By instinct those animals eat meat. Humans, however, have the brainpower and strength to give up meat.
What is the difference between the types of vegetarianisms?
Lacto-ovo-vegetarian: Does not eat meat, but eats both dairy products and eggs.
Lacto-vegetarian: Does not eat meat, but eats dairy products but not eggs.
Ovo-vegetarian: Does not eat meat, but eats eggs but not dairy products.
Pescatarian: Does not eat meat, but does eat fish, dairy products and eggs.

PETA;
Those people are PSYCHO. They have good intentions, sometimes, but they go over the top.
This is my favorite PETA story;
When PETA decided to do something about the baby seal clubbing in Canada, they went all out. Someone came up with a splendid idea to spray paint the baby seals white coats with red spray paint. This way the coats wouldn’t be worth anything and couldn’t be sold, so the poachers would not kill them. HOWEVER, the baby seals have white coats for a reason. Their white coats help them blend into their surroundings, so they don’t get eaten. Every seal that PETA had sprayed, was dead within weeks.
Also, I found out this morning, that PETA is trying to make fake meats out of cloned animals. So that way they aren’t killing any animals. But, by cloning…isn’t that animal testing, that they are so very highly against?
These people always seem to go too far with everything.
If you don’t believe me and have half an hour to kill (oh, the irony); here you go:
