Trying veganism despite the reasons against it

Calendar image

My interest in this blogger's recent decision to try veganism for thirty days is not so much in his decision to do so, as that sort of thing is happily popping up all over the web. It is more in how disinterested he was in trying it for so long. Read More »

Re: PETA – I’m speechless. Luckily, Vegansaurus is not.

PETA Casting Couch

Vegansaurus was kind and angered enough to take the words right out of my mouth in regards to the newest PETA Super Bowl ad. I know I promised to cut down on tearing into them, but does it count if someone else is actually writing it? Read More »

Meatless moguls: CEOs and celebs turning vegan

Although I’m not sure which I find more annoying these days, PETA offering to pay for Lohan’s rehab or the previous chatter about Bill Clinton and Mike Tyson turning vegan, I have to admit that this recent trend of big names giving up the animal in their diet is a positive thing. I’ve always talked  Read More »

Biting someone else’s tongue

PETA’s North American city rankings So, I’m not surprised at all to see Portland in the number one spot for the States, and I guess seeing Vancouver as the best in Canada shouldn’t drop any jaws. However, I have to say I’m surprised at how the prairies make their way on the list. Calgary beats  Read More »

PETA rakes in $34 million, but only saves 8 animals

The Greenroom » Forum Archive » PETA rakes in $34 million, but only saves 8 animals. It gets a little more interesting if you follow some of the links, and even more interesting once you realize what the “regular” folk think of PETA and their campaigns. I wish PETA would put all their campaigns up  Read More »

PETA’s 2010 State of the Union Undress | PETA.org
