This little piggie went to slaughter, this little piggie went to China. This little piggie made gloves, this little piggie went to biofuel and this little piggie went wee wee wee (all the way to the bank)!
Tyson hasn't yet asked the "vegetarian or religious groups" what they think. Vegetarian and religious. Guess what those two groups have in common? They both protect the right to life. My guess is Tyson's probably not too worried about the right to life (especially now that they're in bed with Conoco.)
The little piggies might reduce our dependence on oil but read the fine print, folks, in a statement issed by PETA, they ain't doin' nothin' to reduce our emissions:
"A recent report published by the United Nations concludes that the meat industry is responsible for more global warming emissions than all the cars, trucks and planes in the world combined."
"Clearly, the answer to global warming isn't to fill gas guzzling cars with ground up remains of tortured animals, it is to go vegetarian, which is something every person can afford to do and should do for the sake of their own health, animals and the environment."
A lot of people think PETA is too radical and I don't disagree. They're wonderfully, consistently, in-your-face, radical. But someone has to do it. Life is compromise; PETA pushes on us without compromise and every time they do, we become a little more humane. The only radical thing they're really doing is saying we can do better.
Tomorrow is Earth Day. It's a perfect opportunity to look deep into our souls and answer the question, "how can we do better?"
