PETA vs. Al Gore
Just a quick glimpse into the mindset of the folks at PETA. It's just another reason why I so love them.
"This morning, PETA sent a letter to former vice president Al Gore explaining to him that the best way to fight global warming is to go vegetarian and offering to cook him faux “fried chicken” as an introduction to meat-free meals. In its letter, PETA points out that Gore’s film, An Inconvenient Truth—which starkly outlines the potentially catastrophic effects of global warming and just won the Academy Award for “Best Documentary”—has failed to address the fact that the meat industry is the largest contributor to greenhouse-gas emissions."
This group is a totalarian group. You are not a good enough ______ until you are walking lockstep with their philosophy. There is no such thing (according to PETA) as a good pet owner. You can't be a good environmentalist if you eat meat, you are not a good enough PERSON if you wear or use animals in any way! Their website says it all...
"PETA believes that animals have rights and deserve to have their best interests taken into consideration, regardless of whether they are useful to humans. Like you, they are capable of suffering and have an interest in leading their own lives; therefore, they are not ours to use—for food, clothing, entertainment, experimentation, or any other reason." (emphasis mine)
Which is why any anti-cruelty legislation that has the PETA stamp of approval on it (like H.F. 1046 and S.F. 121) should be looked at with more than just a critical eye.

The "Global Warming Swindle" is a very important documentary.
Below is a very easy to remember link to send to friends and family to encourage them to see the other side of the global warming issue.
