Not to spur the debate much further I just have to say that I am confused by the uproar when, for most individuals posting, PETA is doing exactly what they do…loving animals and killing them. I realize PETA is hypocritical and I don’t think they speak for vegans who are truly trying to make the world more just, but I see the “I love animals, but I love steak/lamb chops/cheese/eggs” comments and wonder if anyone (even PETA employees) can truly empathize with the objectification of another living creature. PETA is stupid and compromises their ethics to make money (seems like business as usual in a capitalist system) I get that, but what about your ethics? Are you really no better to animals than a bunch of hypocritical “animal lovers”? On an individual level I would say we shouldn’t be judging our morality by the failure of a huge corporation like PETA.
