The difference though is that I don't go around criticizing others who wear synthetic products, unlike hamburger-munching PETA members who go around criticizing those who wear furs. In the end, if you don't practice what you preach, you lose all credibility.

I guess some PETA folk actually haven't lost their grip on reality. Some people are intelligent enough to realize that treating animals ethically-a very subjective subject- does not mean they have to give up eating animal products.

I'll get right on that ... if her Mom lets her play with the stove

I see. Well, if she's too young to cook for herself, then she eats what she's given. Sure it would be nice of her parents to cook vegan for her and ensure a balanced vegan diet by researching it a bit, but in the end it's up to them, not her, to decide.

Pet jr. is just doing his bit to help out with fur industry greenwashing, coyotes are renewables thus eco friendly whereas synthetics utilize demon petroleum, what eco conscious canuck can ignore this call to slaughter. Cotton tailed be a far more eco responsible choice than cotton, the fur industries green washing is one the more innovative green bs marketing ploys. This bloody testing of weird crap dubbed makeup to possibly enhace the beauty of some vain 40 yr. old needs a watchdog and hopefully peta has tamed some pharmaceutical labs.
Read this somewhere, can't recall where ..'people are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs', it has a hint of credibilty to it.

Actually, PETA does in fact encourage vegetarianism. Just go to its website. That said, it also fights a two front war by trying to promote vegetarianism alongside better treatment of animals in recognition of the fact that not all will choose the vegetarian lifestyle.

One would think though that a PETA member would live up to the organization's highest standards as an example for others to follow, no?

As an interesting aside, there is of course the question of religious prejudice. For instance, research in Germany had shown that the traditional Jewish and Muslim ways of killing an animal sometimes caused the animal less suffering than the traditional German way, which also happens to be the traditional French and Canadian, or day we simply say, Western way. In spite of this though, France was in an uproar over Halal Quicks because they did not appreciate having religion 'forced' on them. I doubt the animals cared though, but that's beside the point.

In the end though, one would think that an organization that promotes vegetarianism would be vegetarian itself, no?
